Protester asks whether monarch pressed police to ‘cover up’ for his brother as pressure grows on palace to take further action
King Charles was heckled by a protester who asked whether he had “asked the police to cover up” for his scandal-ridden brother, as pressure mounts on the monarchy to take further action against Prince Andrew.
During a visit to Litchfield Cathedral today, a man in the crowd asked the king a string of questions, including: “How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?”
In a video, believed to have been filmed by the protester as he spoke, the man goes on to ask Charles twice: “Have you asked the police to cover up for Andrew?”
The king continues shaking hands with well-wishers and waving as the man shouts questions. At one point a woman turns around and tells him to “shut up”. The protester, thought to be a member of anti-monarchy group Republic, ends by asking: “Should MPs be allowed to debate the royals in the House of Commons?”
