"During a visit to Lichfield 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."
"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? Graham Smith, chief executive of Republic, said: The royals need to be challenged, and if the politicians won't do the job and the police won't investigate, then more and more members of the public will be asking the tough questions. We want to see broadcasters invite Charles into a studio and ask him the same questions."
"Earlier this month, it was announced that Andrew would no longer use his titles and honours after the continuing fallout over his links to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child sex offender. Andrew's announcement came days before the posthumous publication of the memoir of his sex assault accuser, Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in April aged 41."
King Charles was heckled by a protester in Lichfield who asked whether he had asked the police to cover up for his brother, Prince Andrew. The protester asked how long Charles had known about Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein and twice demanded whether Charles had asked police to cover up for Andrew while the king continued greeting well-wishers. The protester, thought to be from anti-monarchy group Republic, asked whether MPs should be allowed to debate the royals in the Commons. Republic's chief executive said royals need challenging and urged broadcasters to ask Charles the same questions. Pressure on the monarchy increased after Andrew relinquished titles amid fallout from Epstein links and renewed allegations by Virginia Giuffre.
