The late Queen Elizabeth II enabled son Andrew’s deviant and alleged criminal activity with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein with the help of Buckingham Palace operatives who swiftly punished the whistleblowers that threatened to expose his randy behavior, insiders tell the National Examiner.
For decades, London’s Met police officers assigned to Andrew’s protection detail knew to keep their mouths shut or face the wrath of the notorious “the Firm” — the nickname for the iron-fisted palace machine of advisors, lawyers and aides tasked with protecting the Crown, sources say.
“It was well known in the police department that if you cared about your future, your career, you never questioned anything about Andrew,” says a royal insider. If you did, “you were going to be relegated to a back-street Bobby beat or assigned to a miserable desk job.”
“There were protection officers who had really cushy jobs and traveled on private jets with Andrew, and when they raised concerns they were reassigned.”

The stunning palace cover-up comes as a new tranche of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice include “nail-in-the-coffin” pictures of a smirking Andrew on all fours, crouching over an unidentified young female splayed out on the floor.
“Andrew even brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years,” claims Andrew Lownie, the author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. “It was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command — but nothing was done.”

Royal experts believe the beloved queen, who died in 2022 at age 96, enabled Andrew, 66, despite pleadings from the future King Charles to banish his brother from the palace forever. Once Charles took the throne, he eventually stripped Andrew of the royal titles of prince and Duke of York and evicted him from his home, the crown-owned Royal Lodge.

As readers know, Elizabeth stripped her son of his palace paycheck and duties following Epstein sex slave Virginia Giuffre suing Andrew for allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was 17. Andrew has denied her charges, yet in 2022, the queen helped him pay for the reported $16 million settlement, says the insider.
A second royal source tells the Examiner that King Charles and his son Prince William wanted to expel Andrew from the royal court years ago but were handcuffed by the queen and the Firm.
“The queen was always protecting him at all costs, and it was known that he was her favorite child,” says the source. “She knew about everything — Epstein, the girls, the trafficking — and I believe she was just trying to help him. She just turned a blind eye to it.”
