Historian Andrew Lownie is making bombshell claims about the late Queen Elizabeth II’s alleged knowledge of Prince Andrew’s infamous association with sex workers. While Prince Andrew has lost his titles and royal privileges amid ongoing scandals, Lownie alleges that these controversies weren’t new information kept secret by a grieving King Charles III—but rather longstanding issues brushed aside under the reign of his mother.
According to Lownie, who spoke on NewsNation’s program with Paula Froelich, Prince Andrew regularly brought sex workers to Buckingham Palace. He further alleges that palace staff repeatedly complained about this behavior to superiors but were silenced and threatened with reassignment to less desirable posts if they persisted. “He brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years. It was done on a regular basis,” Lownie claimed. “People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done – the security who complained were told, ‘If you would like to go back on the beat Brixton, you have that choice, but otherwise you keep quiet,” he said.
Lownie asserts that Queen Elizabeth II was undeniably aware of her son’s actions.
“Of course, the Queen knew. She was informed. But he was her favorite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug. Until now….Now that he is no longer protected by the queen.”
This allegation adds another layer to Prince Andrew’s already tarnished reputation. It also highlights a long-held perception of preferential treatment within the royal family, specifically towards Andrew compared to his brother, Prince Charles.
Books like Nigel Cawthorne’s “War Of The Windsors: The Inside Story Of Charles, Andrew And The Rivalry That Has Defined The Royal Family” have previously hinted at this dynamic. Excerpts published by the Daily Mail depict a Queen prioritizing Andrew’s needs over Charles’s, recounting specific instances where Elizabeth dedicated more time and attention to her youngest son as a child.
While these claims remain unverified, they paint a stark picture of alleged complicity within Buckingham Palace and raise disturbing questions about the extent to which the Royal Family shielded Prince Andrew from consequences for his alleged actions. The recent revelations undoubtedly amplify calls for greater transparency and accountability within the institution.
