King Charles faced a rare moment of public backlash during a visit to Lichfield Cathedral on Monday (October 27) morning, as a lone protester loudly confronted him over the ongoing scandal surrounding his brother, Prince Andrew.
While hundreds gathered to wave flags and chant “God Save the King,” the atmosphere briefly shifted when one man shouted: “How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?”
The man also questioned whether the king had asked police to “cover up for Andrew” and whether MPs should be allowed to debate royal matters in the House of Commons.

A clip of the heckling moment was posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The protestor’s remarks were met with some jeers and chants from the crowd, with one woman turning to him and snapping: “Shut up.” Others drowned him out with repeated cheers and chants of “God Save the King”.
Despite the outburst, the king remained composed and seemingly unfazed, continuing to greet members of the public. One well-wisher told him it was “amazing” to finally meet him, having waited since 5am.
