A MAN has been arrested after allegedly shouting abuse at Prince Andrew as the Queen’s funeral cortege made its way along the Royal Mile.
The 22-year-old was reportedly spotted holding a cupped hand at his mouth as he allegedly hurled insults at the Queen’s son.
Prince Andrew was forced to walk in plain clothes alongside uniformed military men because he has been stripped of his military honours.
His mother’s funeral cortege passed along the Royal Mile, Edinburgh on Monday afternoon.
