Queen Elizabeth II is facing posthumous claims that she 'always' shielded ex-Prince Andrew and quietly helped bury questions over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, with one alleged royal insider insisting the late monarch 'turned a blind eye' to warnings about her favourite son.
The news came after US outlet Globe reported that Queen Elizabeth used her influence in London more than 25 years ago to push for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to be appointed as the UK's globetrotting trade envoy, a role that sources now allege opened the door to questionable dealings with Epstein. The paper links that appointment, fresh allegations of misconduct in public office, and even longstanding conspiracy theories around Princess Diana's death into one sprawling challenge to the Queen's carefully curated legacy.
