Anti-royal protester Sam Bracanov says he was planning to throw a bucket of horse manure over Prince Charles and his wife Camilla before he was arrested yesterday.
76-year-old Bracanov pleaded not guilty to a charge of preparing to commit an assault on the royal couple when he appeared in Auckland District Court today.
Outside court, Bracanov said he wanted to protest because he opposed the idea of the Prince of Wales being born into privilege.
Bracanov was granted bail on the condition that he stay at least 500 metres away from the royal couple.
