King Charles event hit with protests as Andrew scandal continues to haunt royals

King Charles and Queen Camilla did their best to remain unfazed by the ongoing protests as they arrived at the St Asaph Cathedral where the Royal Maundy service was held in Wales.

Anti-monarchy groups had the place surrounded, with security for the royals on high-alert, as they called for Charles to answer questions about his disgraced brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

They asked when did the royals know about Andrew’s involvement with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the how much did they know.

Moreover, there was also graffiti saying “Not our King” at a cathedral in North Wales ahead of his appearance at an Easter service, which was covered up.

The protests and heckling have been becoming a frequent recurrence at key royal events ever since Andrew was arrested in February after the Epstein files provided shocking evidence of how deeper the ties went with Andrew and the shamed financier.

“Charles shouldn't be able to avoid questions about his complicity in the Andrew scandal,” the founder of anti-monarchy group, Graham Smith said.

“The public wants answers. That's why activists were protesting in North Wales today.”

Maundy service follows the tradition of handing our specially-minted coins as Maundy money to distinguished men and women of the community.

“Charles gave out a few pounds in ceremonial money to pensioners today, but he and his mother paid £12m to the late Virginia Giuffre,” Graham pointed out.

“It’s not credible to believe Charles and William weren’t aware of the allegations against Andrew years ago. Which begs the question, why didn't they act years ago,” he added.

“Protests and heckles will continue until there's a full Royal Epstein Inquiry.”
