Does this man look dangerous to you? The 76-year-old told to stay away from Charles and Camilla after 'planning to throw manure at them' during their New Zealand visit

• Pensioner arrested after he was allegedly captured on CCTV in downtown Auckland preparing to commit a crime
• Sam Bracanov has been ordered to stay at least 500m from the royals
• He pleaded not guilty to the charge today, but admits he would have thrown manure after mixing it with water to make it easy to throw
• The elderly man has been bailed and will re-appear at court later this month
• Prince Charles and Camilla are on the final leg of the Diamond Jubilee Tour

A 76-year-old was today ordered to stay away from the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall after planning to throw manure at them on their visit to New Zealand.
Sam Bracanov was arrested in Auckland less than an hour before the royals arrived yesterday and has now been hauled in front of a judge and charged with preparing to commit a crime. 
The anti-monarchist pensioner pleaded not guilty and was ordered to re-appear at Auckland District Court later this month.
He was also told to stay at least 500 metres (550 yards) from the couple as part of his bail.

Sitting outside the courthouse, Bracanov admitted he would have thrown the manure at Charles and Camilla if he had not been arrested.

 

'I make it liquid like porridge,' he told reporters. 'I would have done it. I was going to mix it with water, stir it around and make it easy to throw and then throw it at them.
'Royalty smells, so what difference does it make if I hit them?'
But he vowed he would not give up on his mission.
'I was not successful,’ said the Yugoslav immigrant in court. ‘I will wait till next time.’
Bracanov was previously convicted and fined for a sweeter-smelling crime - spraying air fresheners at Prince Charles to 'remove the stink of royalty' during a previous visit to Auckland in 1994.

Charged: The anti-monarchist has pleaded not guilty to planning to commit a crime

The couple are currently touring Australia and New Zealand as part of the celebrations to mark Queen Elizabeth's 60 years on the throne.
Others have also heckled the royal couple during their six-day visit to New Zealand, and many were angered by prime minister John Key's confirmation that the British Commonwealth country would pay for Camilla's travelling hairdresser.
Most New Zealanders are supporters of the monarchy, however. A poll conducted by Television New Zealand before the royal couple arrived last week found that 70 per cent want to keep Queen Elizabeth as head of state.

Bracanov was arrested after he was allegedly captured on CCTV in downtown Auckland preparing to commit an assault, according to One News.

When Charles and Camilla arrived they made their way along the crowds shaking hands and a small group of protesters could be seen holding up placards.
One read 'Get a Job Royal Bludgers' - New Zealand slang for someone who avoids work.
A statement on the New Zealand Police website said the man from the Mangere suburb of Auckland was arrested at 12.40pm - around 50 minutes before the royal couple arrived.

It added: 'Arresting officers had identified the man as a known anti-royalist who was, when arrested, at a royal itinerary venue although neither of the royal visitors was in the vicinity at the time.'

Bailed: The elderly man admits he would have thrown manure at Charles and Camilla if he had got the chance

Prince Charles had some close encounters during the final stop on his and the Duchess of Cornwall's Diamond Jubilee Tour.
He broke protocol by hugging a female rugby player during a visit to New Zealand's national training centre for high performance sports, in Auckland.
As Camilla chatted to Olympic medallists Charles headed over to the women’s rugby sevens team and held out his hand to Linda Itunu, but she eschewed the traditional handshake and curtsey to throw her arms around the prince.
The 27-year-old sportswoman was delighted when Charles hugged her back, but had to help him wipe his forehead once they let go, and apologised to the royal for leaving him a little damp.
Charles made up for his unconventional behaviour later that evening, showing royal grace as he greeted Dame Kiri Te Kanawa at a reception and dinner for the Diamond Jubilee Trust in Auckland.
