How Queen Elizabeth’s Reputation, Judgment Were Damaged Due To ‘Favorite Son’ Prince Andrew

Queen Elizabeth’s reputation and judgment have been damaged by her alleged favorite son Prince Andrew’s recent controversy.

In an article he wrote for Express, royal commentator Christopher Wilson talked about Prince Andrew’s involvement in Jeffrey Epstein case. The child sex offender took his own life while waiting for his trial.

Prince Andrew and Epstein have been friends for years, and they have also been photographed together on numerous occasions. And as such, after it was revealed that Epstein sexually assaulted underage girls years ago, the public couldn’t help but link Prince Andrew to the issue.

The dad of two recently released a lengthy statement denying his involvement in Epstein’s deeds. Prince Andrew also said that he regrets staying friends with someone who has done a number of offensive actions towards women.

But according to Wilson, one of the people who may be most affected by the scandal is the Queen. Not only is she close to her third child, Prince Andrew, she was also previously blamed for indulging Sarah Ferguson’s ex-wife. Doing so resulted in Prince Andrew being too self-important.

“So far, he has the Queen’s support. Clearly, he told his mother he is innocent and she believes him, showing her support by insisting he sit beside her as they drove to church a fortnight ago. But here we see a chink in Her Majesty’s normally impenetrable armor as no matter how guiltless her second son turns out to be, sadly her reputation and judgment may have taken a hit with this call,” he said.

Meanwhile, Prince Philip was also mentioned in Wilson’s article. He said that the recent scandal proved that even though the dad of four is alive and well, he no longer has the same control he once had over his children.

“And here we must mourn the absence of Prince Philip’s steadying hand. The Iron Duke is alive and well, but the ability to manage an ill-disciplined younger generation is now beyond him,” Wilson said.
