**King Charles Targeted Over Prince Andrew’s Epstein Ties in Lichfield Cathedral Incident**
*Updated: October 29, 2025, 2:09 p.m. ET*
King Charles was recently confronted by a heckler over his brother Prince Andrew’s connections to the disgraced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, RadarOnline.com can report. The encounter reportedly left the 76-year-old monarch “furious and deeply rattled.”
The incident occurred as Charles was shaking hands and greeting supporters at Lichfield Cathedral in England. Amid the crowd, a man loudly accused the king of covering up for his younger brother, shouting questions such as, “How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?” and “Have you asked the police to cover up for Andrew?”
King Charles did not respond to the accusations, and the heckler was quickly silenced by others nearby. Despite this, sources say the encounter “pierced the royal bubble,” leaving Charles visibly shaken.
> “Charles has spent his entire life preparing to be King – not to be heckled in the streets like a politician,” a source told Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, who covers royal affairs on Substack.
### Growing Concerns Over Public Backlash
Royal watchers have expressed worry that this may mark the beginning of increased public scrutiny targeting the Andrew-Epstein scandal. A senior courtier told Shuter,
> “(Charles) is terrified this is just the beginning. For decades, people shouted ‘God Save the King.’ Now they’re shouting about Andrew — and no one’s stopping them.”
This public confrontation comes as King Charles continues treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer and has been visibly weakened. Sources close to the palace reveal that the ongoing revelations about Prince Andrew’s continued ties to Jeffrey Epstein have left the King “utterly worn down.”
> “Just when he thinks the matter has settled, another revelation surfaces. It’s placing enormous strain on him. He’s doing his best to focus on his recovery and royal duties, but the constant stress is really affecting his health,” said an insider.
### The King’s Difficult Position
Though King Charles has long tried to quietly distance himself from his brother, the scandal surrounding Prince Andrew has intensified pressure on Buckingham Palace to take more definitive action against the Duke of York.
Andrew, now 65, was stripped of his military titles and patronages in 2022 and barred from using his HRH status. Following the latest Epstein-related revelations, he has had additional royal titles removed.
However, sources close to the palace say Charles feels trapped by the situation.
> “The King feels boxed in – he can’t simply cut his brother off, yet Andrew’s behavior keeps casting a shadow over everything he’s trying to restore within the monarchy,” one source explained.
### Prince William’s Harder Line Expected
Looking ahead, The Sunday Times reports that Prince William will take a much tougher stance toward his disgraced uncle when he ascends to the throne.
William, first in line to the crown, reportedly plans to ban Andrew from all aspects of royal life, including both public and private events.
> “He will be excluded from public and private royal events, including the coronation, and banned from most state occasions,” a source revealed.
The future king is said to view Prince Andrew as a “threat” and a “reputational risk to the monarchy.” He is also reportedly concerned about the message Andrew’s presence at royal events sends to victims of sexual abuse.
