‘Have You Pressurised Police?’ King Charles Heckled Over Prince Andrew’s Epstein Links | Watch

Britain’s King Charles III was heckled again on Monday over the controversy surrounding his brother Prince Andrew and his past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as the royal family continues to face scrutiny following fresh disclosures in the Epstein case.

The latest incident took place during a royal visit to Lancashire, when Charles met members of the public at Clitheroe railway station. As the King greeted well-wishers, a man shouted, “How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?” The question was met with boos from much of the crowd, while Charles appeared not to respond and continued shaking hands.

The heckling followed a similar episode last Thursday in Dedham, Essex, where Charles and Queen Camilla were interrupted during a walkabout. On that occasion, a member of the public shouted: “Charles, have you pressurised the police to start investigating Andrew?”

The renewed protests come after the release of a fresh tranche of Epstein-related files by the US Department of Justice last month. The documents have reignited allegations concerning Prince Andrew’s relationship with Epstein, including claims that a woman was sent to the UK for a sexual encounter with the former duke, and that Andrew and Epstein allegedly sought a threesome with an exotic dancer at Epstein’s Florida residence. Another file reportedly includes a photograph appearing to show Andrew on the floor with a woman. Andrew has consistently denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

Further claims in the documents allege that Andrew shared confidential reports from official visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore during his time as the UK’s trade envoy. These allegations have added to pressure on the royal family and political establishment.

On Monday, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, spoke publicly for the first time on the issue, saying they were “deeply concerned” and that their thoughts were with the victims. Last week, Prince Edward also stressed the importance of remembering victims when commenting on the case.

Charles and Queen Camilla have not addressed Andrew directly since last year’s release of files, when they expressed their “thoughts and utmost sympathies” for “the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse”. That statement coincided with an announcement stripping Andrew of his remaining honorary titles.

The Epstein disclosures have also had political fallout. The release of millions of related documents has prompted police to open an investigation into Peter Mandelson over alleged misconduct in public office. On Sunday, Morgan McSweeney, chief of staff to Keir Starmer, resigned over his role in Mandelson’s appointment as UK ambassador to the US, adding to pressure on the government as ministers await further disclosures.

Despite the disruptions, Charles continued his engagement in Clitheroe, waving to the crowd before leaving by car, as debate over Prince Andrew and the Epstein scandal shows no sign of easing.
