Queen Elizabeth II Allegedly Knew About Andrew's Activities
Royal author Andrew Lownie claimed that Queen Elizabeth II was aware that her son, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, brought prostitutes into Buckingham Palace.
Allegations by Royal Historian
During a November 6 appearance on NewsNation, Lownie stated that Andrew "brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years" and that this occurred regularly. Staff who witnessed this reportedly complained, but no action was taken.
“It was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done.”
Security and Silence
Those in the palace’s security detail who voiced concerns were allegedly instructed to "keep quiet" or face demotion, according to Lownie.
The Queen's Knowledge and Protection
Lownie asserted that the Queen was informed of Andrew's behavior but tolerated it due to him being her "favorite son," resulting in the matter being ignored until recently.
“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 Title Stripping
Since Andrew was stripped of his royal title, Lownie said he has been receiving increasing information from people close to Andrew who no longer fear 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.”
