Man wearing Melbourne footy jersey arrested for yelling at Prince Andrew
A man wearing a Melbourne City FC jersey has been arrested after screaming at Prince Andrew as he walked behind Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin.
The Queen’s coffin travelled through Edinburgh on Monday to St Giles' Cathedral as mourners paid their respects to the late monarch.
Her four children, King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, were walking behind the hearse when a man began shouting at Prince Andrew.
The man was seen cupping his hands around his mouth before shouting, “Andrew, you're a sick old man”.
Police and mourners ganged up on the man before he was arrested and continued shouting “disgusting” and “I’ve done nothing wrong”.
Police Scotland confirmed a 22-year old man was arrested “in connection with a breach of the peace' on the Royal Mile around 2.50pm on Monday.
The man later identified himself on Scottish TV as “Rory”.
It it believed the attack on Prince Andrew was due to his relationship with disgraced sex offender Jeffery Epstein.
Prince Andrew was not allowed to wear military dress for the event, and other ones due to his relationship.
However, an exception will reportedly be made for him to wear military dress as a special mark of respect for the Queen at the final vigil in Westminster Hall.
