According to royal author Andrew Lownie<\/strong>, the Royal Navy veteran allegedly “bullied his doting mother in her final years.”<\/p>\n The act would be “deeply troubling to many who followed the late Queen\u2019s reign,” Lownie wrote in his recent book<\/a>, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ex-Prince Andrew was arrested on February 19.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n “By the end of her life, what people don\u2019t realize, is that she was completely gaga. He [Andrew] would go up there and he would bully her into doing things,” Lownie penned.<\/p>\n \u201cFor the last few years, [King<\/strong>] Charles<\/strong><\/a> actually was running the show, rather than the Queen,” he continued.<\/p>\n Charles, 77, yanked away Andrew’s royal titles and peerages last year due to his links to s– trafficker Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong><\/a>.

Also, there is insider trading there.”<\/p>\n “[Buckingham Palace] don’t want Andrew turning up in court saying, ‘Everyone knew about this, this is why I am being penalized,'” he went on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photos of the former Duke of York surfaced in the Epstein files.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Earlier this year, the DOJ released over 3 million files<\/a> from Epstein’s estate. Many emails between Andrew and the financier were unveiled, further tarnishing the ex-royal’s reputation.<\/p>\n The queen reportedly backed her second son up when it came to his scandals involving Epstein, especially when a photo of the two men walking in Central Park surfaced in March 2011. <\/a><\/p>\n “The Queen’s instinct was maternal first. She was not blind to the optics \u2013 she clearly believed the connection to Epstein was a serious lapse in judgment \u2013 but she was determined not to abandon her son publicly, and backed him to the hilt,” source exclusively told OK!<\/em><\/a> <\/em>last month.<\/p>\n The insider continued: “From her perspective, the photographs were deeply embarrassing, yet she saw them as a crisis to manage rather than grounds to cast Andrew aside. She believed loyalty within the family had to be absolute, even when mistakes had been made.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nEx-Prince Andrew Lost His Royal Titles Last Year<\/h2>\n
