Queen Elizabeth II Allegedly Aware of Andrew's Activities
Royal author Andrew Lownie claimed that Queen Elizabeth II knew about her son Andrew Mountbatten Windsor bringing prostitutes into Buckingham Palace. According to Lownie, this occurred regularly over several years.
Details from Andrew Lownie’s Interview
During a November 6 appearance on NewsNation, Lownie stated:
“He brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years. It was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done.”
He explained that security officers were warned to stay silent or risk demotion if they reported these incidents.
Queen’s Knowledge and Response
Lownie asserted the Queen was informed about Andrew’s behavior but tolerated it because he was her favorite son:
“Of course the Queen knew [about Andrew’s proclivities]. She was informed. But he was her favorite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug — until now.”
New Information Following Andrew’s Title Removal
Since Andrew lost his royal titles, Lownie said people close to him have started speaking out:
“They are no longer scared to talk or come out and tell the world what really happened now that Andrew has been removed from power. Now that he is no longer protected by the queen.”
Us Weekly has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment on these allegations.
Background
Lownie is the author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York and continues to gather new information about Andrew’s conduct.
Summary: According to royal historian Andrew Lownie, Queen Elizabeth II was aware of Prince Andrew’s misconduct involving prostitutes at Buckingham Palace but remained silent because of her favoritism, with new disclosures emerging after Andrew’s title was revoked.
