Heckler arrested after calling Prince Andrew ‘a sick old man’ as he walked behind Queen Elizabeth’s coffin
- Queen Elizabeth’s children walked with her coffin as it travelled to St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland
- As they walked by a large crowd, a heckler yelled: ‘Andrew, you’re a sick old man’. He was then arrested
A funeral procession for Queen Elizabeth II was disrupted by a heckler yelling at Prince Andrew.
On Monday, the Queen’s children, King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Prince Andrew, walked behind a hearse carrying her coffin as it travelled on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland, to St Giles’ Cathedral, where a service took place in the queen’s honour.
Thousands crowded the streets of Edinburgh to watch the royal family, but the event took a turn when one crowd member yelled at Andrew as the foursome passed.
“Andrew, you’re a sick old man,” the man could be heard yelling.
Videos shared on social media showed that the man was yanked back by his hood by another crowd member after he yelled. The Telegraph reported that the man was then led away from the street by police and could be heard saying: “I’ve done nothing wrong”.
A Police Scotland spokesperson told Insider “a 22-year old man was arrested in connection with a breach of the peace on the Royal Mile”.
