King Charles is facing immense pressure due to recent humiliation on Commonwealth Day.

His Majesty and the Royal Family were brutally heckled outside Westminster Abbey on Monday as they made their way for the celebrations.

The chants came mainly due tog ight King’s brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, and his friendship to Jeffrey Epstein.

One palace insider told PEOPLE: "Other events have rocked the monarchy, but something from within — where someone is being arrested — is very different. This is much more serious."

The royal source said: “The financial burden on him, having to attend interviews and take the relevant advice, is a huge concern for him and one which he is growing increasingly anxious about. The King has made clear that Andrew is now a private citizen and must meet the relevant costs on his own.”

This comes as King Charles called for unity in a special speech marking Commonwealth Day: “Working together, we can ensure that the Commonwealth continues to stand as a force for good – grounded in community, committed to the kind of restorative sustainability that has a return on investment, enriched by culture, steadfast in its care for our planet, and united in friendship and in the service of its people.”
