How The Queen Enabled Prince Andrew During His Epstein Days (8/20/24)

Beyond The Horizon

Queen Elizabeth II was widely known to have had a soft spot for her second son, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, despite the controversies that surrounded him in later years. This affection can be traced back to his birth. After having two children early in her marriage (Prince Charles and Princess Anne), the Queen waited almost a decade before having Andrew, which some royal observers believe made him particularly special to her. The Queen was said to have spent more time with Andrew during his childhood compared to her other children, who were born during the early years of her reign when her duties were more demanding.
As Andrew grew older, the Queen's affection for him remained evident. Even as he faced allegations and legal issues connected to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, Queen Elizabeth continued to show her support for him. For example, despite public outcry, she allowed Andrew to retain certain honors and roles longer than many expected. Additionally, she was seen in public with him after his infamous BBC interview, which had severely damaged his reputation.
The Queen's loyalty to Andrew was often interpreted as a motherly instinct to protect her son, despite the potential damage to the monarchy's reputation. This protective attitude was evident in her willingness to stand by him through various scandals, showing that her bond with him was uniquely strong within the royal family, even in the face of the Epstein scandal.
In this episode we take a look at that relationship and how the Queen enabled her favorite son.
