Prince William & Princess Kate Face Heckling About Prince Andrew in Scotland

Prince William and Princess Kate heckled about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in Scotland Prince William and Princess Kate, who are the Prince and Princess of Wales, headed to a community pub in the former mining village of Fallin, which is in Stirlingshire Prince William and Princess Kate were heckled about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in Scotland yesterday. Crowds gathered to see the Prince and Princess of Wales arrive at a community pub in Fallin, Stirlingshire, but one member of the public shouted at the couple initially. He said: "How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein? Have you been covering up for Andrew?" It was a reference to the controversy around Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, no longer known as Prince Andrew after King Charles stripped him of his royal titles and honours in October. Security had to calm the member of the public who started the heckles outside the Gothenburg pub yesterday, where Kate and William remained unfettered. They then spoke to members of the Stirlingshire community, including some teachers, whose attitudes contrasted the initial tension.

As William left, Mr Donaldson handed him a Guinness glass with the Goth logo on it, and shares in the pub. He said: "It's just made my day. It's made my year." He said his high moment running the pub has previously just been "keeping it alive for the community". But yesterday, he said: "That's just topped it, by the way, meeting a future king. Absolutely fantastic." Founded in 1910, The Goth is one of the few remaining pubs in Scotland still run under the Gothenburg system, which uses profits from pubs and drinking establishments to fund community projects. The royal couple were told that 95% of the pub's profits are donated to community causes, from families in need and food banks to local charities and hospices. They also met local people and Kate talked to teachers about anxieties that schools face and how intertwined the school is with the community. The Prince and Princess of Wales also tried their hand at curling while visiting the National Curling Academy in Stirling. Kate and William met Team GB and Paralympic GB curling teams ahead of the Winter Paralympic Games in Milano-Cortina in February and March. The royals took to the ice with some Team GB players to test their skills. Kate and William then spoke to locals at the sports centre afterwards and told children about their curling experience. Bruce Mouat, skip of the men's curling team and one half of the mixed doubles, said: "It was wonderful, really nice that they came to wish us good luck for the next month we are about to embark on, both of them were lovely and willing to curl." He continued: "They said they would be watching the games, which means a lot to us."
