King Charles asked ‘how long have you known about Andrew?’ by another heckler in Clitheroe

King Charles has been heckled for the second time in days over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein.

A member of the public shouted at the King this morning: ‘How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?’

The monarch, 77, was greeting and chatting to royal fans at the train station in Clitheroe, Lancashire when the heckler yelled out from just metres away.

Most of the crowd turned around and booed, with some telling the man to ‘shup up’.

Just last week, a man shouted out at King Charles asking if he would put pressure on police to investigate his disgraced brother.

The heckler made the outburst about the Jeffrey Epstein affair at the King and Queen during their high street walkabout in the Essex village of Dedham.

The area had images from the Epstein files thrown around the quiet village before the Royal visit.

As King Charles shook hands, one man in the crowd, shouted out within earshot: ‘Charles, Charles, have you pressurised the police to start investigating Andrew?’

Police officers approached the man afterwards and walked with him away from the barriers, with Essex Police later confirming that no arrests had been made.

The latest heckle comes after more pressure was heaped on Andrew over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

This morning, the Prince and Princess of Wales issued an ‘unprecedented’ statement on the Epstein scandal.

The Royal couple said they were ‘deeply concerned’ by the information published in the Epstein Files.

A spokesperson for Kensington Palace said: ‘I can confirm the Prince and Princess of Wales have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. 

‘Their thoughts remain focused on the victims.’

The former Duke of York has always denied any accusations of wrongdoing.

Andrew appears to have shared confidential reports with the paedophile financier in his role as the UK’s trade envoy, newly released emails reveal.

The former Duke, who served as trade envoy between 2001 and 2011, appeared to send Epstein details of his upcoming trips to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam on October 7 2010.
