New claims raise questions about how the palace handled concerns surrounding Andrew
Fresh allegations have surfaced about how Queen Elizabeth II responded to concerns linked to her son, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
According to Radar Online, an unnamed insider claimed the late monarch was aware of Andrew’s association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein but chose not to intervene directly.
The source alleged that raising questions about Andrew was discouraged in certain circles.
“It was well known in the police department that if you cared about your future or your career, you never questioned anything about Andrew,” the insider claimed.
They added that anyone who raised concerns risked being pushed aside professionally. According to the source, officers who questioned the situation could end up assigned to less desirable duties or desk roles.
The insider also alleged that some protection officers who travelled with Andrew on private jets were reassigned after voicing worries about what they witnessed.
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the third child of the late Queen Elizabeth, has faced years of scrutiny over his ties to Epstein and accusations made by Virginia Giuffre. Andrew has consistently denied the allegations.
In the aftermath of the controversy, King Charles stripped Andrew of his royal roles and military honours, distancing the monarchy from the scandal.
Another source told the outlet that Charles and William had previously wanted Andrew removed from the royal inner circle but were unable to do so while the Queen was alive.
“The queen was always protecting him at all costs, and it was widely believed he was her favourite child,” the source claimed.
The insider further alleged that the monarch was aware of the situation but chose not to confront it publicly.
These claims have emerged following the release of additional documents by the US Department of Justice, which once again drew attention to Andrew’s past connection to Epstein and the wider controversy surrounding the case.
