It has long been known that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was Queen Elizabeth’s favorite child. Even when his link with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sexual offender, came to light, the late Queen was unwilling to demote her son in the Royal Family. He highlighted Queen Elizabeth’s response when the former Duke of York was accused of sexual assault in his new book,
The Windsor Legacy, written by Robert Jobson, a journalist and author specializing in royal history. Jobson said that “public outrage exploded” as a result of the allegations made against Andrew by the late Virginia Giuffre and the subsequent Newsnight interview he gave in 2019.
