Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> allegedly knew of the unsavory sexual proclivities of her son, Prince Andrew, according to a royal historian.<\/p>\n

The long-reigning British monarch is said to have been a part of covering up the former Duke of York\u2019s tawdry behavior \u2014 outside of what he was accused of in connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years,\u201d<\/a> author and literary agent Andrew Lownie<\/a> said during a Thursday appearance on NewsNation. \u201cIt was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lownie, author of the explosive biography \u201cEntitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,\u201d<\/a> even alleged that palace security officers were threatened to \u201ckeep quiet\u201d or lose their positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course the Queen knew [about Andrew\u2019s activities]. She was informed,\u201d he claimed. \u201cBut he was her favorite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug \u2014 until now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lownie said he\u2019s been getting \u201cmore and more information every day\u201d from people close to Andrew in the wake of his titles being officially stripped\u00a0and his eviction from his royal residence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are no longer scared to talk or come out and tell the world what really happened now that Andrew has been removed from power,\u201d he added. \u201cNow that he is no longer protected by the queen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now known publicly as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, Queen Elizabeth\u2019s second born was stripped of all his titles and honors by his older brother King Charles<\/a> last month amid renewed allegations that he was among Epstein\u2019s clients.<\/p>\n

Virginia Giuffre<\/a>, an outspoken victim of the disgraced financier, claimed in her recently released memoir<\/a> \u2014 published just six months after her death by suicide<\/a> \u2014\u00a0that Epstein introduced her to Andrew, whom she accused of sexually abusing her on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n

As Giuffre\u2019s claims both old and new began making the headlines, the exiled royal issued a statement on Oct. 17 maintaining his innocence, but saying he would surrender his title as the Duke of York<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family,\u201d Andrew said in a statement released by Buckingham Palace. \u201cI have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew previously announced in 2019 that he would step back from public life<\/a> over his alleged links to Epstein, despite his continued denials of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith His Majesty\u2019s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further,\u201d his October statement added. \u201cI will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lownie said he\u2019s currently working on a follow-up book to \u201cEntitled\u201d called \u201cUntitled,\u201d which will focus on the salacious allegations surrounding Andrew and his subsequent downfall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen Elizabeth II allegedly knew of the unsavory sexual proclivities of her son, Prince Andrew, according to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[2878,85,9,24,12,63,122,124,123,2632,904,1076],"class_list":{"0":"post-32757","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-queens","8":"tag-books","9":"tag-latest-headlines","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-nyc","14":"tag-queens","15":"tag-queens-headlines","16":"tag-queens-news","17":"tag-snyde","18":"tag-things-to-do","19":"tag-world-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
