Over the years, Queen Elizabeth didn't try to hide that ex-Prince Andrew was her favorite child. He was her first baby born after she became Queen, and with a huge 12-year age gap between Andrew and King Charles, and 10 years between Andrew and Princess Anne, he was essentially raised as an only child until younger brother Prince Edward came along. This dynamic shaped the way Queen Elizabeth treated Andrew his entire life, even when he found himself in the midst of an international scandal involving the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In an excerpt from Robert Jobson's upcoming book The Windsor Legacy, serialized in the Daily Mail on November 2, the royal expert wrote that Queen Elizabeth never changed her stance on Andrew, even after she faced public pressure to strip him of his titles.
