Newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files offer insight into how the late Queen Elizabeth II viewed her son Prince Andrew’s controversial ties to the convicted sex offender. Until now, the Queen’s private thoughts about her son’s judgment regarding Epstein were never publicly documented.
According to ITVX, in March 2011, David Stern, a close adviser to then-Prince Andrew, emailed Epstein, saying “PA [Prince Andrew] has full support of his mum, only dealing with you was ‘unwise.’” Buckingham Palace spokespeople had previously offered only general support, and the monarchy maintained that Andrew’s association with Epstein was a personal matter.
