Topless Woman Who Interrupted Prince Philip’s Funeral Faces Court

The topless woman who interrupted Prince Philip’s funeral is now facing court. 

Marissa Scott, from Merstham, Surrey, has been charged with causing harassment, alarm, and distress under the Public Order Act on Sunday, April 18.

The 55-year-old will appear at Slough Magistrate Court on June 10.

According to witnesses who spoke to the Independent, Scott was ‘loudly protesting’ towards the end of the National minute’s silence held for the Duke of Edinburgh.

Apparently, she ran into the road shouting ‘save the planet’ and then jumped onto a statue of Queen Victoria.

Fortunately, the Royal Family was not aware of the incident as it took place outside Windsor Castle.

The Queen sat alone for the service, which was broadcast around the world, and the heartbreaking image went viral. 

Another talking point was the fact that Prince William and Prince Harry left the ceremony together.

The brothers, who have been ‘feuding’ since Harry’s Oprah interview, apparently had ‘peace talks’ with their father, Prince Charles, before the ceremony.

Their relationships have been tested ever since Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, made a series of allegations against the Royal Family in the explosive tell-all. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed there were ‘conversations and concerns’ over how dark Archie’s skin would be before his birth. 

When Oprah asked the Duchess: “There’s a conversation with you about how dark your baby is going to be?”

Meghan replied: “Potentially and what that would mean and look like.”

Later on, Winfrey confirmed the ‘concerns’ weren’t voiced by the Queen or Prince Philip

She said: “He did not share the identity with me.

“But he wanted to make sure that I knew, and if I had an opportunity to share it, that it was not his grandmother, nor his grandfather, that were a part of those conversations.”
