A heckler was arrested after calling Prince Andrew 'a sick old man' as he walked behind the Queen's coffin

• Queen Elizabeth's children walked with her coffin as it processed to St Giles' Cathedral on Monday.

• As they walked by a large crowd, a heckler yelled, "Andrew, you're a sick old man."

• The heckler was arrested after his outburst.

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 processed on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland, to St Giles' Cathedral, where a Service of Thanksgiving was to take place in the Queen's honor.

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 can be heard yelling in a video shared by The Telegraph.

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."

Queen Elizabeth stripped Prince Andrew, 62, of his royal patronages and military titles in January after Virginia Giuffre filed a lawsuit against him in which she alleged Jeffrey Epstein forced her to have sex with the Duke of York when she was 17.

Andrew and Giuffre reached an out-of-court settlement for an undisclosed amount in February 2022, and he has largely stayed out of the public eye since then.

The Queen's death has brought the Duke of York back into the public eye as he mourns his mother. He is also inheriting two of her beloved corgis, as the BBC reported.

Representatives for Andrew did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
