A man has been charged in connection with a breach of the peace during the procession of the Queen’s coffin in Edinburgh on Monday.

The 22-year-old was arrested after the Duke of York was abused as he walked behind his mother’s coffin as it made its way from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St Giles’ Cathedral.

Social media videos showed a man shouting at Andrew before bystanders pulled him to the ground.

The man was released by police on an undertaking to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court at a later date.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “A 22-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with a breach of the peace on the Royal Mile around 2.50pm on Monday, September 12.

“He was released on an undertaking to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court at a later date and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.”

No other arrests were made and police would not confirm if any inquiries into the incident were ongoing.

Some media will now give more focus to whether Prince Andrew’s heckler should be charged with a crime than whether Prince Andrew should have been.

Do you think he think he can make a comeback?

Prince Andrew is never going to be rehabilitated. At some point this has to become clear even to him.

Even Julia thinks it was wrong!

Shouting at Prince Andrew as he walked behind his mother’s coffin was crass, cruel and inappropriate but it shouldn’t be a CRIMINAL offence. Why weren’t the men who assaulted the protester, throwing him to the ground, arrested for criminal assault? https://t.co/8u8AGZ7O0J
