Andrew’s downfall would have prompted one clear feeling in Queen Elizabeth II – expert | Royal | News

Today, a royal expert revealed that Queen Elizabeth II He claimed Elizabeth would have been “devastated” by Andrew’s royal decline. On Thursday, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles, 76, had begun a “formal process” to strip the style, titles and honors of his brother Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew.

It comes after the reputation of the out-of-work royal, now known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, was tarnished by her previous relationship with the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Although Andrew, who was preparing to move from his home in the Royal Lodge, had always denied the accusations against him, the monarch decided to rid Andrew of royal life altogether. Although the move was deemed necessary following public outcry, one royal commentator criticized the late Queen Elizabeth II. He believes that if Elizabeth were to ascend to the throne, Andrew, 65, would not be in the position he is in now.

This is because he himself had the opportunity to take such an action against his son and never did so, instead taking lesser measures.

This included Andrew’s actions in 2022, when he stripped him of his military connections and royal patronages.

He also made sure that he did not use the title of Her Royal Highness in an official capacity.

To talk express.co.uk Royal commentator Afua Hagan said of Andrew’s current situation: “I think the late Queen would be devastated that this is the action that needs to be taken.”

He continued: “I would also like to think that she (the late Queen) would eventually put the Crown first because that is what happened to Charles, she put the Crown first.

“He said enough was enough. I think he would have been gutted.”

Andrew is believed to be the late Queen’s ‘favourite’ child.
