King Charles III was heckled over his brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's association to the late Jeffrey Epstein during a Thursday, February 5, walkabout. Charles, 77, and his wife, Queen Camilla, visited the Essex village of Dedham on Thursday, where an unidentified man attempted to get the king's attention. "Charles, Charles, have you pressurized the police to start investigating Andrew?" the individual yelled out, per Hello! magazine. Charles did not respond to the man's question or appear to hear the comment, continuing to make his way through the crowd of waiting royal watchers. Is Prince Andrew Still a Working Royal? Where He Stands With the Family Andrew, 65, voluntarily gave up his royal titles in 2025 after making headlines for his past connection to Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while incarcerated. "In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family," Andrew told Us Weekly in an October 2025 statement. "I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life." He continued, "With His Majesty's agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honors which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me." In 2019, Andrew was accused of sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre, who died in 2025, after they were allegedly set up by one of Epstein's associates. The former Duke of York denied the accusations at the time before settling with Giuffre out of court for an undisclosed sum. The allegations were later resurfaced in Giuffre's posthumous memoir published last year, before Charles took legal steps to remove his brother's titles. How King Charles III and Royals Reacted to Prince Andrew's Ties to Epstein "Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence," an October 2025 statement from Buckingham Palace read. "Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him." The statement continued, "Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse." Charles and Camilla, 78, have not further addressed the scandal, which has continued to make waves this year after Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson's respective correspondence with Epstein were released in a batch of Epstein Files documents. Andrew is one of Charles' siblings. The pair, along with Princess Anne and Prince Edward, are the children of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Edward, 61, recently addressed Andrew's scandal earlier this month. While attending the World Governments Summit in Dubai in February, Edward was asked how the royal family was "coping." "Well, with the best will in the world, I'm not sure this is the audience that is probably the least bit interested in that," Edward replied. "They all came here to listen to education, solving the future, but no, I think it's all really important to always remember the victims, and who are the victims in all this, a lot of victims in all this."
