Royal author Andrew Lownie claimed that Queen Elizabeth II knew her son, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, brought prostitutes into Buckingham Palace over several years.
During a November 6 appearance on NewsNation, Lownie stated that these visits happened frequently. Staff reportedly complained to authorities, but no actions were taken. Security officers were allegedly warned to remain silent or face demotion.
“He brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years. It was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done.”
Lownie insisted the Queen was informed about Andrew’s behavior but allowed it because he was her favorite son. According to him, this resulted in the issue being ignored until recent developments.
“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.”
Since Andrew was officially stripped of his title, Lownie says he has received increasing information from people close to Andrew. They feel less fearful about revealing what truly happened now that Andrew no longer has royal protection.
“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.”
Us Weekly reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment on these accusations.
Lownie is the author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, providing detailed insights into the royal family’s history and controversies.
Summary: Andrew Lownie alleges that Queen Elizabeth II knew about Prince Andrew’s inappropriate conduct in Buckingham Palace but permitted it due to family loyalty, with new testimonies emerging after Andrew’s title was revoked.
