Queen Elizabeth II Gets Egged and Laughs it Off (1986) | Royal History

- On 24 February 1986, Queen Elizabeth II was pelted with eggs by demonstrators protesting in the name of Maori land rights while the monarch was visiting the New Zealand capital of Auckland. While the egging caused alarm for many (representing as it did a serious breach of the Queen's personal security), the Queen herself handled the experience in good humour. At a state banquet in Wellington, the Queen made a deadpan reference to the incident while praising New Zealand's dairy produce. It would take more than cracking yolks to stop the Queen cracking jokes.
This clip is taken from an ITN special programme, The Queen's Voyage: From Kathmandu to Christchurch. Aired on 16 March 1986, it follows the Queen's visit to Nepal, Australia, and New Zealand. Coming soon to @ITNArchive.

I thought she was going to say "but what personally struck me were the eggs".
She looked around after she read the egg joke like "ok who wrote this bullshit"
She had a good humour tho😂
Though many do not realise it, her sense of humour was legendry. She was also a brilliant mimic.
That was so rude. Bad parenting!
as a Maori I'm ashamed this happened (at the time I was only 4) but boy oh boy am I glad I can say I lived during her reign.... absolutely loved her sense of humour... a true ROYAL LEGEND
What a woman, she is missed and will be forever.
She should of been a stand-up comedian. Really, the delivery, the timing, her cadence, she’s wonderful! Deliciously witty and so very sharp and quick-witted. Loved her delivery, reading off the piece of paper and mumbling.
she was classy and elegant. A Queen like nobody else
Oh how I miss my Queen. 😢
The children: we are gonna mock Her Majesty TODAY!
..the queen took it like a champ and then proceeded to “egg” them on…😂
Nobody can flip a 'sitch' like a Windsor!😂😂😂
Classy lady I’ve always had the utmost respect for her. She had some big shoes to fill at a relatively young age and did a fantastic job
She had an amazing sense of humor, something you don't see much of anymore. 😁🥚❤️
She kept her composure! Beautiful lady!
Her Majesty always had a great sense of humour 😊
The queen is such an adorable woman.
Yes, security failed the Queen and Duke.
The Queen was so graceful 🎶🍒
