King Charles III was heckled over Prince Andrew's links to Jeffrey Epstein during a visit to a cathedral on Monday.

The event followed an appearance by the king at Lichfield Cathedral, where he was heckled about Prince Andrew's friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

A heckler asked the king how long he had known about Andrew and Epstein, and if he asked police to cover up for his brother.

The king did not answer and the man was shouted down and pulled out of sight.

Some in the crowd outside Lichfield Cathedral then chanted “God Save the King.”

Andrew recently agreed to stop using titles including Duke of York, but Buckingham Palace and the British government have been under pressure to formally strip him of his princely title and royal mansion after new revelations about his relationship with Epstein.
