Prince Andrew allegedly informed the late Queen Elizabeth II that he was innocent in light of his sexual assault allegations involving Virginia Guiffre.
Prince Andrew Pleaded With Queen Elizabeth II That ‘He Was Innocent,’ Says Royal Expert Katie Nicholl
That is according to royal expert Katie Nicholl. Andrew’s reputation was extensively damaged, as speculation surrounding his ties with Jeffrey Epstein came to the fore.
He had been pictured with Epstein in New York, Central Park, while a photo allegedly showed him with Virginia and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Although Andrew did manage to settle things outside of court, it seems he had to beg the late monarch to show his innocence. By the looks of it, Queen Elizabeth II did everything in her power to make sure that Andrew was protected from any controversy.
In her comments, Katie said: “I think the Queen was protecting him. I had sources very close to the Queen who said she asked Andrew what had happened and put him on the spot.
“He said he was innocent, and as a mother as well as the Queen she did stand behind him until the end.” That has not been enough to prevent Andrew from falling from grace.
Katie expanded on how Prince William and King Charles III have come closer together, as it appears that Andrew is not going to be at the forefront of the firm going forward.
And as there is a slimmed-down version of the monarchy going forward, that has only united William and Charles.
Katie’s following comments confirmed as much: “Now Charles and William holiday together and speak on the phone almost every day. They are also on the same page on the future of the monarchy.”
Andrew is somebody that King Charles III will have to keep in check. Now that Queen Elizabeth II is no longer here, the rest of the royals have not been forgiving.
After all, Andrew has been demoted to the bottom of the Royal Family website which just reflects how far his influence has dwindled.
So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
