The crime being that they threw the custard first. Obviously from Devon

Smearing apple crumble and custard on the Crown Jewels is something that should be done only in private between consenting adults.

I hope it was proper custard and not that shop-bought muck.

The crown may not have been damaged, but many people felt that the reporting mangled the accepted order of things.
No-one in the history of anything says "custard and apple crumble". It's apple crumble and custard, except if the custard is with the apple under the crumble topping in which case we should all give up and go home.
