Christopher Andersen, author of 'The King,' claimed to Fox News Digital that when the Jeffrey Epstein-Prince Andrew scandal erupted in 2011, Elizabeth proved to be the 'Queen of Denial.' He notes that Andrew’s denials of salacious accusations were enough for her, demonstrating a significant blind spot toward her son, who had previously garnered the nickname 'Randy Andy' due to his sexual exploits.
Andersen elaborated on the late Queen's blind spot, stating, 'At Her Majesty’s direction, Buckingham Palace issued a series of statements in which Andrew insisted he 'did not see, witness or suspect' that Epstein was a notorious sexual abuser of underage girls.' This shows the lengths to which the palace went to support Andrew amid serious allegations.
A DailyMail columnist highlighted how dismissive the late monarch was regarding allegations against Andrew. Three senior members of the Royal Household advised her to suspend Andrew from royal duties pending an inquiry, but their suggestion was met with a curt reply that exhibited royal displeasure.
The situation escalated when a video showed Prince Andrew inside Epstein's mansion. Following this incident, the palace issued another statement where Andrew claimed to be 'appalled' by any suggestion that he condoned such behavior, but the persistent shadow of the allegations loomed over him.
