King Charles III is also in Scotland, continuing his post-Christmas tradition of staying at Balmoral. The 77-year-old monarch was seen on Monday enjoying a dram of award-winning whisky and hosting a reception for the Scotland Investment Forum.
Similar Protests Faced by the King
King Charles himself has also encountered public heckling over his disgraced brother. During a visit to Lichfield Cathedral in Staffordshire in October, a protester shouted similar questions about Andrew.
“How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein? Have you asked the police to cover up for Andrew?” the man yelled.
Footage from the incident shows the King smiling and greeting well-wishers before his expression changed when he heard the protester. Charles did not respond and continued walking as the crowd began chanting “God Save The King” and “Three cheers for the King.”
The monarch later stripped Andrew of his royal titles and removed him from Royal Lodge following renewed scrutiny over his links to Epstein.
Prince Harry’s Separate UK Visit
Meanwhile, neither the King nor the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to meet with Prince Harry during his time in London for a High Court case against Associated Newspapers Limited.
The 41-year-old, who is based in California, returned to the UK alone over the weekend and attended court in person on Monday.
In written submissions, his barrister David Sherborne told the court that the publisher’s alleged information-gathering methods caused a “massive strain” on Harry’s personal relationships and left him deeply distressed.
Harry is expected to give evidence on Thursday before returning to Montecito, where he lives with his ex-actress wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
