King Charles III was seen making a light-hearted appearance as he started his summer retreat at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

However, it seems like things took a turn for the wrong reasons as he was forced to come face-to-face with angry protesters who chanted slogans against the royal family, demanding answers about Prince Andrew’s links to Jeffrey Epstein.

While his stringent team of security guards was able to keep Charles away from the fury, it didn’t take long for shocking images to spread online, with many wondering why Charles chose to evict Andrew so late and make him give up his royal titles after the release of one of Epstein’s victims, who shared dark secrets about the royal.

Some called the timing of the visit a very smart move to try and disguise all the chaos arising behind the scenes.

The royal family has long used Balmoral residence for many decades as a great vacation retreat due to its private and discreet location. While Andrew has given up his royal titles, he will remain a Prince.

Crowds waiting for hours to get a glimpse of the royal, who is said to be ailing from cancer. Others did wish him well and asked about Wiliam and Kate, who are amongst the favorites when it comes to royal fans.
