King Charles III was heckled by a protester on Monday over his brother Prince Andrew's controversial ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The incident occurred as the sovereign greeted royal admirers outside Lichfield Cathedral in northwest England.
"How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?" the man shouted, briefly interrupting the royal visit. The king, who continued his walk without reacting, was accompanied by clergy and local officials.
Andrew, 65, recently announced that he was stepping down from his Duke of York title after years of scrutiny over his behavior and relationship with Epstein. Despite this decision, questions persist among the British public about how much the royal family may have known about these embarrassing connections.
This new controversy disrupts King Charles' efforts to restore the image of the monarchy, already weakened by scandals and internal divisions.
