Mega Edition: Queen Elizabeth And Her Darling Boy Andrew (11/12/25)

Queen Elizabeth’s deep affection for Prince Andrew blinded her to his flaws and shielded him from the consequences of his own arrogance. From the moment he was born, Andrew was said to be her favorite—her “darling boy”—and that sentiment became a shield he would hide behind for decades. Even as whispers of inappropriate behavior, financial improprieties, and questionable friendships grew louder, the Queen consistently stepped in to protect him. She refused to believe the worst, brushing off concerns as gossip and assuming that the monarchy’s institutional authority could outlast any scandal. When the Epstein connection surfaced, she leaned into that same instinct, surrounding him with the palace’s most trusted handlers and instructing courtiers to minimize the damage rather than confront the truth.But that unwavering loyalty ultimately detonated in spectacular fashion. By standing by Andrew for too long, the Queen not only undermined her own moral authority but tainted the institution she spent seventy years preserving. The infamous BBC “Newsnight” interview—Andrew’s catastrophic attempt to clear his name—became a global humiliation that exposed the rot her protection had allowed to fester. In the end, she was forced to strip him of his titles and banish him from public duties, a move that must have pained her deeply. Yet the damage was done: her favoritism turned into her Achilles’ heel, proving that even the most revered monarch could be undone not by enemies, but by the blindness of maternal love.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
