British authorities arrested a topless woman who was protesting during Prince Philip’s funeral service on Saturday.

A televised funeral was held for Duke of Edinburgh at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

According to Metro’s James Hockaday, an unidentified woman caused a stir outside of Windsor Castle when she ran in front of the crowd following the minute’s silence for Prince Philip.

She sprinted down the road screaming “save the planet” shortly after the crowd began clapping, according to Metro.

Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh was the longest-serving consort in British history. He died on April 9 at age 99.
