Overview
- During a visit to Lichfield Cathedral, a lone protester shouted questions about Prince Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and alleged a police cover‑up.
- Video circulating on social media shows Charles not responding and continuing to greet well‑wishers as security observed, with many in the crowd pushing back on the heckler and voicing support.
- The episode lands as attention on Andrew has intensified following Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir and reporting that he remained in contact with Epstein after claiming to cut ties.
- Some outlets, citing unnamed aides via gossip reporter Rob Shuter, claim Charles was left shaken and “deeply rattled,” though these accounts are not independently corroborated.
- Separate reports link the moment to unconfirmed negotiations over Andrew leaving Royal Lodge, including a single‑outlet claim he wants Frogmore Cottage and Adelaide Cottage in exchange.
