King Charles heckled over Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein

King Charles was heckled during a cathedral visit on Monday by a protester who asked him about Prince Andrew’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The man asked how long the King had known about his brother and Epstein, and also questioned whether he had asked the police to “cover up” for Andrew.

There were also plenty of fans and cheers for the King, who visited Staffordshire for an engagement at Lichfield Cathedral.

Prince Andrew’s links to Epstein have been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks. The prince, who renounced his titles earlier this month, has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

The protester, who can be clearly heard in video footage of the event, also asked King Charles if MPs would be allowed to debate royals in the House of Commons.

The King did not answer questions but continued to greet his fans; It was heard that one of them wanted to hug him.

A woman outside the cathedral was also heard telling the attacker to “go away” and “shut up”.

Scandal over Andrew’s links to Epstein reignited with new sexual abuse allegations In Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir.

While Prince Andrew has always vehemently denied harassing Ms. Giuffre, new questions have been asked about how he is able to fund his lifestyle despite not being a working royal.

The Liberal Democrats said he should be called before MPs to give evidence about his lease of the Windsor mansion Royal Lodge.

But last Thursday the government refused to give MPs time to discuss the prince’s titles or house, despite mounting scrutiny pressure.
