The late Queen Elizabeth II’s fierce loyalty to her son Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was laid bare in a tender yet telling remark made during the height of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
According to royal biographer Robert Jobson, in his explosive new book The Windsor Legacy, the Queen refused to turn her back on her son, even as public outrage grew over Andrew’s ties to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Palace insiders reportedly urged the monarch to distance the Royal Family from the disgraced Duke, but her response was unwavering.
In private, she simply told a trusted aide: “You have to remember, he is my son.”
Those four words revealed her unconditional love and belief in her son’s innocence, even as his friendship with Epstein plunged the monarchy into turmoil.
Jobson claims the Queen “shielded” Andrew from the full force of palace exile, refusing to let public pressure dictate her personal loyalties.
