Queen knew Andrew brought prostitutes into Buckingham Palace, author says

"He brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years, historian Andrew Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, told NewsNation. It was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done the security that complained were told, If you would like to go back on the beat Brixton, you have that choice, but otherwise you keep quiet."

"This revelation from Lownie adds to the growing belief among palace insiders that the queen, who died in 2022, left her heir, King Charles III, with an unexploded bomb in the form of his younger brother, the former Duke of York. Late last month, Andrew lost all his royal titles, including that of prince, as the years-long controversy over his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein finally became intolerable to his brother and to the British public."

"It seems to me that Queen Elizabeth has quite a lot to answer for, a palace source told The Times UK. The thing about the queen was that everyone always said she was so dutiful, and she was but this was a terrible dereliction of duty. She indulged Andrew all the time and always avoided confrontation.

Queen Elizabeth II was probably aware that Prince Andrew had 40 Thai prostitutes delivered to his luxury hotel suite during a taxpayer-funded trip to Bangkok in 2006. Andrew also brought prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years, and staff complaints to security were ignored or met with threats of reassignment. Palace security were warned to keep quiet rather than press the matter. The queen reportedly indulged her younger son and allowed him to avoid consequences. The controversy over Andrew's relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein intensified public outrage and led to the removal of his royal titles. Insiders call the situation a dereliction of duty.
