Since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest, royal commentators have been questioning whether the late Queen Elizabeth II knew the extent of her son's alleged involvement with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In fact, one crisis expert alleged that The Queen "looked the other way" when it came to Andrew's activities. But according to one royal historian, the former monarch likely didn't have as much influence as was once thought.
In his new book, Queen Elizabeth II: A Concise Biography of an Exceptional Sovereign, respected royal historian David Cannadine wrote, "There was nothing The Queen could do…to persuade Prince Andrew to be more discreet."
