Royal author Andrew Lownie claimed that Queen Elizabeth II was aware that her son, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, brought prostitutes into Buckingham Palace for years.
During a November 6 appearance on NewsNation, Lownie stated that this behavior was a regular occurrence. Staff reportedly complained to their superiors, but no action was taken.
“He brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years,”
“It was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done.”
Security officers who voiced concerns were allegedly ordered to stay silent or face possible demotion. Lownie insisted the Queen was informed but chose to ignore the issue because Andrew was her favorite son.
“Of course the Queen knew [about Andrew’s proclivities]. She was informed,”
“But he was her favorite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug — until now.”
Following Andrew’s loss of his royal title, Lownie said he has received increasing information from people close to Andrew who now feel free to speak out without fear of repercussions.
“They are no longer scared to talk or come out and tell the world what really happened now that Andrew has been removed from power,”
“Now that he is no longer protected by the queen.”
Us Weekly has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment on these allegations. Lownie’s statements come amid broader discussions about Andrew’s conduct.
Summary: Author Andrew Lownie alleges Queen Elizabeth II knew about Prince Andrew bringing prostitutes to Buckingham Palace but ignored it due to favoritism, with new sources speaking out after Andrew’s title was revoked.
