Princess Anne heckled over Andrew at Oxford University

The royal, who is 18th in line to the throne, was attending the Agricultural Economics Society’s centenary conference in the city at Wadham College on Tuesday (March 24).

Princess Anne was confronted by protesters outside as she got out of a black car, according to GB News.

Demonstrators shouted questions at her about her brother’s links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Anne, how long have you known about Andrew and Epstein,” shouted one heckler

Another asked: “What did you know and when did you know it”

A third added “When will you answer the question?”

The Princess Royal did not react to the demonstrators and walked on towards the entrance to the college with a team of bodyguards at her side.

The former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The protest was staged by the anti-monarchy group Republic, which later posted a video of the exchange online.

The organisation highlighted reports portraying Anne as being supportive of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor despite the serious allegations against him.

A statement from Republic accompanying the post said: “Anne has been heckled in Oxford about the Andrew scandal.

“She’s been described as being ‘sympathetic’ to Andrew despite the allegations – will she answer questions?”

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and there is no suggestion that Princess Anne has done anything wrong.
