A clip of the chanting has received more than 3.7 million views on Twitter.
One attendee carried a sign which said: “The fact that Covid-19 has more of your attention than a global elite paedophile ring blows my mind.”
Another placard read: “Prince Andrew we just wanna talk.”
Prince Andrew has faced questions about his association with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself last August while awaiting sex trafficking charges.
The Duke of York has been accused of sleeping with sex slave Virginia Roberts three times when she was a teenager.
He has “vehemently” denied any involvement and all the allegations.
‘Freedom For The Children UK’ organised the march against child exploitation.
The campaigning group has been linked to ‘Stand Up X’ - who have been behind anti-lockdown protests across the country.
An early promotional poster for the event featured the controversial anti-mask group’s symbol but it was taken out of subsequent adverts.

The march’s organisers said it was intended to “bring awareness to the current reality of child exploitation within our own communities and around the world”.
The group wrote on Facebook: “Let's show our devotion and determination toward protecting these children, our communities most vulnerable, by requesting change and reformation within our governmental and law enforcement agencies.”
According to the Facebook event, 231 people attended the march on Saturday.
They met at the London Eye and walked through central London to Parliament Square and Buckingham Palace.
One Twitter user who claims to have been at the march wrote: “A peaceful walk followed by a group meditation starting at the London Eye on to the Palace then to Downing Street.
“Organised by ‘Freedom For The Children’ FB group for #EndChildTrafficking. We had full police support.”
