King Charles Faces Angry Shouts as Crowd Demands Andrew Be Kicked Out During Royal Visit
King Charles found himself under intense public scrutiny once again as his visit to Clitheroe took an unexpected turn, placing the monarch at the centre of growing anger linked to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. What was meant to be a calm engagement with farmers and local businesses quickly became a moment that reflected the public mood.
The King arrived in the Lancashire town as part of his ongoing efforts to connect with rural communities and highlight agricultural initiatives. Smiling and greeting well wishers, Charles appeared relaxed as he stepped off the train and approached the gathered crowd.
However, the atmosphere shifted suddenly when a member of the public shouted a pointed question about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The voice came from behind the crowd, cutting sharply through the otherwise supportive reception.
The heckler loudly demanded to know how long the King had known about Andrew and Epstein. The question immediately drew attention, with nearby onlookers turning toward the source of the disruption.
Royalist supporters in the crowd reacted swiftly, shouting back for the man to be quiet and calling for him to be removed. Some voices were heard yelling for Andrew to be kicked out entirely, underscoring the growing public frustration.
As the shouts continued, King Charles was also asked whether the royal family would assist with any investigation linked to the Epstein files. The monarch chose not to respond, maintaining silence and composure in the face of the confrontation.
Another bystander soon intervened and guided the heckler away from the area. The removal was met with loud cheers and applause from the rest of the crowd, many of whom appeared eager for the visit to continue without disruption.
This was not an isolated incident for the King. It marked the second time in less than a week that Charles has faced public heckling over Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, following a similar scene during a visit to Essex.

Despite the tense moment, the monarch did not allow the incident to derail his schedule. He continued with his planned engagements, demonstrating a determined focus on his duties rather than the controversy swirling around his family.
During the visit, King Charles met representatives from Field Nurses, an organisation that supports agricultural workers across rural Britain. The meeting highlighted the challenges faced by farming communities and the importance of accessible healthcare.
The King also travelled on to Samlesbury Hall in Preston, a historic site with more than 700 years of history. There, he met shire horses named Thunder and Regal, a moment that drew smiles and lighter reactions from attendees.
At Samlesbury Hall, Charles spoke with volunteers, trustees and local figures involved in preserving the historic estate. The visit reinforced his long standing interest in heritage conservation and regional history.
Observers noted that while the King remained outwardly calm, the repeated public confrontations point to a deeper shift in how sections of the public view the monarchy. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor continues to cast a long shadow over royal engagements.
Royal commentators suggest that silence, once seen as a strategy, may now be interpreted as avoidance by critics. Each public outing carries the risk of further interruptions as pressure builds.
For King Charles, the Clitheroe incident was another reminder that the controversy surrounding his brother is no longer confined to Palace walls. It is following him into public spaces and shaping how his reign is being perceived.
As the monarch presses on with his engagements, the calls from crowds to distance the royal family from Andrew Mountbatten Windsor are becoming harder to ignore. The question many now ask is how long the King can remain silent.
