King Charles has been heckled about his brother Prince Andrew’s links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a visit to a cathedral in the UK.
The monarch was speaking with supporters when a man shouted: “How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein? Have you asked the police to cover up for Andrew?”
Others in the crowd turned around and began yelling at the heckler, telling him to shut up and “go away”.
In keeping with royal protocol King Charles ignored the comments.
It comes after Prince Andrew reportedly agreed to move out of his 30-bed mansion, the Royal Lodge, due to ongoing pressure.
According to The Sun, in exchange Andrew has asked for Adelaide Cottage, the home William and Kate will be leaving next month, as well as Frogmore Cottage.
Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson had reportedly not paid rent at the Royal Lodge since 2003.
