Queen Elizabeth announced her first (!!) royal event of 2020 this week. She will visit an RAF base in King’s Lynn on Monday. She ordinarily stays at Sandringham, on vacation, through the first week of February. Which is interesting, isn’t it? Why is a 93-year-old woman suddenly an eager-beaver to get back to work earlier than usual? My theory is because QEII has terrible PR instincts, and she’s a tad eager to “take the temperature” of the British public following two solid months of scandals, controversies, racism, rape accusations, shenanigans and Sussexiting. Will she do this RAF visit alone? Or will she bring her favorite son, HRH Prince Andrew, the Duke of York?
Yes, it’s also clear to me that QEII is making Andrew’s rehabilitation one of her special little projects this year. Come hell or high water, she’s going to force everyone to “accept” Andrew again. So, what’s new? In the wake of the FBI/DOJ saying publicly that HRH Prince Andrew has provided “zero cooperation” in the Epstein probe, royal sources want us to know that QEII is terribly embarrassed. So embarrassed she’ll probably do another church pap-stroll this weekend.
The Queen is “embarrassed” by the Prince Andrew Epstein sex scandal – but “will always protect her favourite son”, a royal insider has claimed today. The 93-year-old is even more hurt by the scandal embroiling the Duke of York than the decision made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to quit the Royal Family. A senior source within the Royal Household today revealed the toll the scandal had taken on the Queen as the FBI dramatically hit out at Prince Andrew for providing “zero cooperation” into the Epstein probe.
The source said: “The Queen has been hurt by all the criticism of Andrew far more than the fuss about Harry and Meghan breaking away from the family. The reason, quite simply, is that Andrew has always been her favourite son, not least because she spent more time with him than any of her other three children.”
The royal source today pointed out how the Queen’s relationship with Prince Andrew had grown since the time he was a child, saying she had been able to devote more time to being a mother by the time he was born in 1960. They added: “Her family noticed that she had become warmer, more relaxed, which wasn’t always the case when she was bringing up Charles and Anne, who spent more time with their nannies than they did with their mother. She’s also very proud of how he conducted himself in the Navy, and his time spent at the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth (a special place for the Queen, as that is where she first fell in love with Prince Philip). And later, when he was serving on HMS Invincible, Andrew effectively became the Royal Family’s very own war hero because of his bravery in the Falklands. The Queen felt a huge surge of maternal pride about how he conducted himself, putting his life on the line for his country.”
The source added: “As for the noise surrounding Andrew’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, she feels embarrassed on his behalf. No mother wants to hear stories about a son’s sexual relationships with very young women. She feels particularly bad that Andrew has given up so much of the work, especially his charities and military roles, because he was carrying out those duties on her behalf – and doing them very well. She will always protect Andrew, and they often talk on the phone or when he is at Buckingham Palace, where he still has a flat. They speak far more with each other than Edward, Charles or Anne.”
You know who else served in a war zone? Her grandson Prince Harry. And the Queen took away his military patronages and sat on her hands as his wife was being smeared by a racist press and the racists in her own family and in her staff. The Queen isn’t worried about any of that, or how her implicit punishment of Harry for his egregious behavior of… marrying a biracial woman… might look when compared to her constant fawning over her “favorite.” And the whole thing about the Queen having more time to be a mother to Andrew… um, you know Edward is the youngest, right? If anything, she had more time to mother Edward, but I guess that’s not the point. The point is that the Queen is so terribly embarrassed by the idea that her son would have raped an trafficked teenager and that her beloved favorite child would be so chummy with a pedophile. It’s enough to make one… go out of her way to shield and embiggen her terrible son.

She OUGHT to be embarrassed. (And so should he!) For starters!
That’s about the nicest thing I can say so I’mma leave it at that.
Seriously. This story from the Sun is just so gross.
This woman is an enabler and a big fat disgrace. Juxtapositioning the treatment of Andrew vs Harry really tells you how twisted and deeply, deeply entitled she is. To the point where she thinks her endorsement of him and her “embarrassment” are enough to absolve him of his very serious crimes.
My dislike of her keeps growing exponentially, each time we hear from her.
Bella: I think she’s right thinking the back up she gives to her Precious will wash out his immage to the world. Of course, with a little help of her friends. (= press/staff)
Yesterday, there was articles on DM about the zero coop and etc… Forgive me, but I really think most of the comments were from BP PR team. And I’m so sure, I wouldn’t mind to bet.
It was a massive wave of comments on how Andy was innocent because in UK what he did is not crime because the victim was older to consent. But there were others being positive about how he would never be touched. Few commenting the facts as they really were.
It looked like a massive PR strategy to clean Andrew on the public view.
Conclusion: no matter how embarassed the queen is, she was and is putting her foot down to wash his sins. And she will get it. Not today or tomorrow, but eventually.
Why on Earth does the BRF think that it is ok to talk about – even think about – the Epstein mess without expressing any ANY sympathy towards the victims?
And BTW by that, I mean the real suffering victims and not the one who is mom’s favourite and has been “soo falsely” accused.
I think if someone *really* had been hanging out with Epstein and DID NOT KNOW he was a sex trafficker (which frankly I find ludicrous but let’s just say for the sake of argument), and then found out that that’s what Epstein was, the very first words out of their mouths would be, “Oh my goodness, I am so very SORRY that I was ever in contact with that vile person, and I grieve deeply for the harm done to his victims, and will do what I can (donate money, encourage anti-trafficking policy efforts, etc.) to make reparations for my part in helping this criminal have a social life and travel in my social circles.” But Andrew has said nothing like this, not even close, these thoughts have not occurred to him. Because what happened was, he did know and he participated and he’s guilty.
I’m hurt for Andrew’s victims so STFU Lillibet.
Or keep talking. Keep sullying your legacy. What must it do to a person’s psyche to always be treated as the most important person in the room.
And to add to it, it’s thought that she had issues with Charles because he was her heir, as in the only person who could lay claim to the kind of authority and power she has.
The signs were there. She knew that Charles was going to continue to keep Camilla around yet she condoned his marrying Diana so he could get heirs. She cast out Diana and welcomed the Mistress.
It shouldn’t need to be said that the Queen is more embarrassed and hurt by Andrew being a sex offender and friends with a predator than by Harry and Meghan leaving! It should be obvious!
But it’s not because she isn’t and that’s what’s wrong with that family.
She’s not embarassed that he’s a sex offender. She’s embarassed he got caught.
What HMC and Belli wrote is what I came here to say.
And where is the nations righteous indignation about how Andrew has let the family down, and a listing of all his faults, repeatedly and relentlessly?
Coming here to say exactly this. And she’s probably “embarrassed” that everyone is making such a fuss about it.
Yep, and I guarantee you she thinks that what he did wasn’t wrong at all
I don’t even think she considers him a sex offender, honestly, which is a huge part of the problem. She probably is wondering what the fuss is all about, which is gross.
Yup. He got caught. She doesn’t at all act like she cares about the trafficked children (some looked to be 11 years old!!!) and women. She believes her some was just playing with consenting women, and that’s ok with her, as it’s fine to allow the BP to rip into Meghan with hell from Thomas Markle. She could have shut it al down, but that’s only ok when Will is clipping Rose bushes.
Her treatment of Diana told me all I needed to know all those years ago.
Yep! Simple like that!
Mummy doesn’t like that everyone keeps calling her Darling Diddums a criminal Pedo.
Rather than “feeling embarrassed”, she should feel SHAME.
SHAME that he did it, that he lied to her & the nation/world, SHAME that she’s been helping to cover it up for so long, and SHAME that she sacrificed her GRANDSON & his WIFE to keep the press off of Darling Diddums.
Bear in mind she comes from a family where an older married man grooming an extremely sheltered 14 year old was seen as a great romance (Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend). Add to that that sex offenders often have at least one devoted family member (usually female but not always) who KNOWS they are innocent and you’ve got a woman who is going to be wilfully blind to the avalanche of evidence against her beloved son.
She doesn’t think he did it and if he did, Virginia was over the age of consent so what’s the problem /s.
The issues of trafficking and the LACK of consent can be carefully ignored.
Not only that, but her husband’s family included a literal pedophile, Mountbatten. Three cheers for the IRA.
She’ll never believe Andrew is guilty.
Jane..say more. First I’ve heard of this.
She really seems to believe this is just a storm that can be weathered…this isn’t going away. I’ve lost so much respect for her over the last couple of years. Having said that I don’t want her to pop her clogs yet because you know who will get the blame if she does!
“No mother wants to hear stories about a son’s rape of trafficked underaged girls.” There, I corrected it for you Liz.
Or “child”. We could just say “child”.
This!
Yeah that part really needed correcting. The sugarcoating is disgusting.
Exactly. Stunning how they use the phrase Epstein sex scandal to make it sound like a non-criminal thing. I just can’t with QEII anymore. She’s shown her true colors. I am also astounded with some comments on DM (when I still read it, just can’t now) that the “girls” were of age in the UK so what’s the big deal…..they totally ignore the trafficking aspect. And yes, if the old gal pops her clogs too soon it’ll all be on Harry & Meg….insert huge eyeroll
I LOVE that term “pops her clogs!” No explanation needed.
The Queen may be a lot of things but embarrassed isn’t one of them. If she were, the pap walks wouldn’t be as plentiful as they are. While she may be proud of Andrew’s work in the Navy, too bad she couldn’t be proud of his behaviour with the rest of humanity.
I agree, judging from how TQ has handled this so far she is def not embarrassed because she doesn’t believe Andrew did anything wrong.
More to the point, she probably doesn’t think that Andrew even did any of the things that he is being accused of. “Poor Andrew – why can’t they just leave him alone?” she cried. Or else she’s head of the “Boys Will Be Boys” school of thought, where they teach the “Men Have Needs That MUST Be Met” curriculum. Somebody needs to tell TQ that whenever she’s decided on some PR plan, that she needs to be doing the opposite because, so far, she’s just been shooting herself in the foot.
Bad, bad look. Redeeming pedo Andy is insulting and the queen spearheading the effort is pathetic.
He wasn’t have relationships with young women, they were girls.
Ànd they weren’t relationships, either. The spin is atrocious.
I hope Harry and Meghan are having coffee and playing with their adorable baby right now. XO That is all I have got.
I wish the Queen would spend time thinking about how different her life would have been if she had have been forced to have sex with strange, older men when she was 12 to 17. Empathy … it is a skill.
There was a study and nyt article that people who are extremely rich actually have lower levels of empathy than people who are less well off. It makes sense to me. They actually think they did something unique for their money and are better /smarter. I think this is why people are obsessed with the movie Parasite as well.
You just described trump. Also, parasite was an incredible movie. Should have been voted for best picture for an Oscar, not best foreign film, imho.
@deedee, parasite was nominated for BOTH best picture and international film.
@ Shannon Oaks While I take the show The Crown with a boulder of salt, there was an episode where the Queen admitted to missing an “emotional chip” shall we say. I don’t know if there’s any truth to that but given recent events it makes me wonder.
H&M probably had inside info that BP/KP/Clarence House would not move a finger to stop the attacks until Andy’s immage was enough clean and William’s enough big and sanctified.
For H&M was a run for life matter.
So she spent more time with him and he turned out that way, eh? Just saying…
I have always wondered why the Queen has been such a cold and distanced mother. She grew up with happily married, loving parents and she was allowed to marry the man she loved.
And you CAN make sure that your children know they are loved even if you don’t have as much time for them as you would like.
That’s a really good point. I know several extremely busy parents but their kids are still their priority and know how loved they are. I don’t know why I have given her a pass on that.
I have read that she resented Charles because he was the only one who could replace her.
Really puts her in a bad light, no?
“The Source” is Prince perv himself.
It really is a bad look that your favorite son, the one you spent the most time with, turned out to be such an entitled boorish grifter who is accused of raping an underaged trafficked girl.
But she clearly is just embarrassed that he has been caught. Not because of his actions or his character.
And she stripped her grandson of all his military titles. Remember how he served two tours in Afghanistan?
The Crown made me a fan of hers but watching her actions the last two years I have changed my mind.
Not to defend her in any way, because this really is bad, but wasn’t it honorary titles? I personally believe this could end the monarchy.
Oh no!!! The monarchy has survived over a lot of worse stuff. That’s a drop in the ocean.
Oh , how terribly inconvenient my dear.
Now did we run out of cucumber sandwiches?
(Just hearing her voice in my head).
I hope Megan and Harry give an interview soon and say straight out that they decided to leave when the Queen made it clear she would protect human trafficking and pedophilia but not stand against racism and bullying. I hope they point out what that says about the value of women (who are not the Queen) in the royal family and the Queens willingness to sacrifice women (from Princess Diana to the teenagers Andrew raped) for her sons reputations.
I know they won’t but how amazing would it be if they came out all kinds of salty and petty but with absolute facts.
The Queen’s reaction of not believing it’s true reminds me of a friends husband whose grandfather was a paedophile. Despite there being actual video and photographic evidence of him abusing girls, his wife (the grandmother) to this day refuses to believe it happened. So, even though it doesn’t make the Queen’s denial right, perhaps she genuinely cannot comprehend what her son has done. Just a thought
She doesn’t seem to comprehend, but is it because of flat-out psychological denial about someone she loves, or because she comes from a family that promoted the slave trade, oppressed native peoples of colour, and she herself has spent much of her life obsessed with breeding of all sorts?
Exactly. When the entire history of the Monarch and your family is based on the colonization, genocide and slavery of other people, what’s a little sex trafficking?
Of course they don’t see themselves that way.
It is seriously disturbing that a news organization reports someone raping trafficked girls as a “sex scandal.”
Also they always seem to leave out his shady business deals and what was it? bribing people with promise of through his role representing the crown?
And then there’s this. Let’s put the slightly salacious angle on it, instead of focusing on the crime.
Is the source Fergie? Easy to believe she’d come up with something that shameless
Lol!
Monarchy isn’t helpful to a society when it rubber stamps rape and downplays racism. Which this one has for centuries… Egregious waste of tax dollars.
The queen should be hurt that her great grandson Archie was compared to a Monkey, and embarrassed that she never said anything to condemn that, which led to his parents leaving with him to Canada
Prince “I blew out my sweat glands in the Falklands” should be dropped off at the Pizza Express in Woking and left there, never to be again.
Why so mean to the Pizza Express and residents of Woking to leave him there? 😉 They don’t deserve him!
Anyone else think Charles is working furiously behind the scenes to get her to step down?
No longer care. They are two of a kind and can sink together.
I read somewhere that pedo Andy actually attended Kate’s birthday celebration! Looking back at how Meghan was treated, it’s just disgusting to think that she would be ok letting a child rapist attend her party and speaks volumes about Kate.
I’m embarrassed for the Queen. Such blindness to her sons perversion.
What is the point of the shameless embiggening of the Yorks when Charles is going to have them kicked to the curb so fast their heads will spin when he ascends to the throne?
They’re trying to position themselves so that he can’t afford to get rid of them? That’s my guess.
“No mother wants to hear stories about a son’s sexual relationships with very young women.“ Yeah I guess I’d be embarrassed to hear details about one of my son’s consensual, age appropriate sexual relationships BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT THIS WAS, ELIZABETH. Your son RAPED those girls. Girls. Almost the same age as his daughters girls.
So effing disgusting.
And Pr Edward’s daughter, Lady Louise is 16. How do Ed and Sophie feel about Uncle Andy being around her? Does it occur to QEII that it could’ve been Louise? I hope they keep close tabs on Pr Andrew around the family.
– It could never have been Louise, because Louise would never be in such a situation.
They see this fact as a testament to inherent virtue, rather than as evidence of privilege. So they wouldn’t consider such a (to them) ridiculous hypothetical.
This family is such trash.
No what’s gross is you sidestepping the facts like rape racism bullying blatant lies coverups and Diana’s murder because she surely was murdered ,in my mind these are the things that are truly gross
I can’t muster up any emotion towards the Queen other than disgust. I really should stop reading about her cause I get upset every time.
She protects a pedo but won’t protect her innocent grandson and his wife. She should be embarrassed at her own actions.
I’d be surprised if if the old girl had any soul left with all skeletons buried and scandals hovering and I’m 100% positive the good British people would endeavor to disappear if a small portion of the filth were to surface ,then we find out just how respectable she and Kate would be ,muddy like dogs I suspect
She just cast out Harry and Meghan and Archie. And she coddles her second son. Harry and Meghan are still attacked in the media. She turns a blind eye.
But she isn’t embarrassed that her son repeated raped a trafficked young girl and associated with a child sex-trafficker and invited that child sex-trafficker to one of her homes? She’s okay with THAT.
Someone up-thread pointed out that Harry, a war veteran, was stripped of his military honours but the child rapist still has his, along with all his titles and the privileges that go with them.
If the monarchy doesn’t last beyond this woman’s reign it will ALL be on her. What a DISGRACE she’s become, and I NEVER EVER thought I’d ever say that. The Queen has broken a lot of people’s hearts and I hope she KNOWS that and I hope it hurts her.
Betty and her advisors are a bunch of morons.
I want that bitch off my money.
“The Queen ‘feels’…”
HAHAHAHAHA!
You big silly. No she doesn’t.
Andrew better enjoy his mother now. When she’s gone I believe Charles’ script will be entirely different. Just saying.😇
Mamasan Here’s hoping. I saw a headline that said possibly the York princesses will step in to the “breach” with Harry and Meghan gone. I certainly hope not! At least Charles would not allow that but I’m sure Andrew could convince QEII that the “blood” princesses would do.
Is this a Dan Wooten article? Just wondering. Also, the phrase in the first sentence of the last paragraph of the article excerpt above: “As for the NOISE…”. I find that to be an extremely revealing few words on exactly how everyone in The Firm seems to view Andrew’s actions. It’s not about his behavior, the age or willingness of the girls, or the immoral and illegal ramifications. It is about dealing with the NOISE of the little people yipping at poor Andrew’s heels. Having him step back was not a punishment of or an admission to his actions, it was about appeasing the NOISY roar of the masses.
I have always found much to admire in Elizabeth in her role as Queen. I found her strong sense of duty, honor and commitment to spend her whole life on something she perceived to be bigger than herself or her own needs as amazing. That said, her actions and/or lack of actions around the Sussexes and Andrew have totally changed my opinion of her. I understand that as a mother she may have a deep love of her son and an overwhelming need to excuse and defend his actions. But this is a woman and a mother who has ALWAYS been seen to put her duty to the Monarchy before anyone or anything in her personal life — no matter the cost to her marriage and her children’s well being. Who held herself to the most rigid of rules and behavior. As a Queen, she is now letting herself poison and corrupt everything she has spent her life representing. Very very disappointing.
Then there’s Andrew. This isn’t a young, wayward boy who needs his hands slapped by mommy and put in time out. This is a man whose monumental bad judgement and preening self-entitlement has led him to continually make bad choices: illegal, immoral, and treasonous choices. I can’t get over him continuing to use his mother and her love for him as a shield. He is obviously doing everything he can to use her love for him to aide him in this monumentally bad choice of forcing his way back.
I find her behavior as a mother sad, but understandable. I find her behavior as Queen disgusting and undignifying of all she stands for. As the embodiment in her role as head of state. I find Andrew’s role, both as a son and a Prince far worse though. If he had any honor or love of his mother, his children, or his country he would at the very least not use his mother as a human shield. This is a mother who cannot face the truth of her child, a Queen who has failed her own principles, and a son and Prince who is willing to sacrifice her as both a mother and a Queen.
I like this comment very much.
Agreed! Thoughtful and even-handed. I would only add the possibility that perhaps the reason the Q’s recent behaviour seems so out of character is that she’s 93 and not all there. Of course I don’t know, she could be sharp as a tack, but I tend to think she’s always been a bit dim and out-of-touch, and now is additionally confused by old age. One can still admire her lifelong sense of duty while agreeing that she’s misstepping off the charts in her final years, which will be a stain on her legacy but maybe not as intentionally evil as we’re making it out to be.
Now Andrew, OTOH, is a different story. No excuses. None. And I entirely agree that his willingness to use his mother (his confused and vulnerable mother, if you’re going with my theory) as his shield is reprehensible.
This is excellent. And I agree, she’s too old to be making these decisions.
A hearty round of applause for that comment, JA! Spot on all the way through it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Add my +1 JALowCountryLady👍
+1
👏👏👏
This scandal with Andrew will haunt her for the rest of her life. She should prepare herself. This is a story that is not going to go away easily.
I love this website but don’t comment often. I lost respect for the queen when she knighted Prince Charles ‘ friend confidant & pedo Peter Ball. Peter was at the queens homes and functions for years. I think that is why she is protecting Andrew now or the press may start digging into Charles. Just my opinion
“No mother wants to hear stories about a son’s sexual relationships with very young women.”
Fucking hell. He raped a trafficked teenager! This isn’t about his sex life– it is a violent crime!
Weird. Decades ago, she reportedly had lunch with Edward but was completely unaware it was his birthday until an aid informed her later.
Yet her devotion to Andrew is obvious and unwavering. Her pleasure in his company is apparent, as she genuinely smiles with him but rarely with others.
It does make me wonder about the truth of rumors about Lord Porchester or whatever his name was, being the real love of her life. And if Andrew really is his son. Otherwise I can’t see the special appeal, myself, as a mother. Diana spent a little bit of time with him when theh were growing up and didn’t seem terribly impressed, either, by all accounts.
I can understand some mothers have a favorite, but she’s sacrificing everything she’s worked so hard for all her life to prop up his sorry azz when she has other children and grandchildren and her legacy to consider. There has to be something more to this favoritism than his scintillating personality (reportedly he’s the ignorant bore he appears to be) and the fact that she had more time with him. Because she was around more for Edward, too, yet couldn’t be bothered to remember his birthday.
Lol, I may as well go for it and believe the rumors that she’s actually a reptilian humanoid while I’m at it. It would actually make a lot of things make more sense about these people. I actually came across the reptilian story when looking up some information on “Porchie”
Ah, but I think I’ll just settle for “rampant racist sociopaths”. Same difference.
My guess is the Queen has her own Thomas Markle and Samantha Markle situation happening with Andrew except Andrew is the golden child in that family.
To criticize Andrew is to make the Queen feel criticized because he is her favorite. So Andrew can continue being a putrid pile of human garbage because the Queen doesn’t want to feel bad and she doesn’t care about the effect it has on Andrew or the people who have to deal with him. Ultimately it is solely always about her.
andrew is the love child of queen with that lord fellow. did you notice only andrew does not have the windsor baldness even harry with many rumors he stated his baldness. because male baldness strongly comes from the men linage thats why andrew is not philip son. also watch out for prince louis, he seems kate faviorite because he pratcially save her marraige to william. she will be also blind to whatever she does in the future.
@GuestWithCat
Thank you, I needed that laugh over your ending comments. 😄
@Aria
Baldness comes from the mother’s side of the family.
This is beyond gross, disgusting behavior all around. I used to have warm feelings towards Liz but she is really running her legacy into the ground now. I’m glad I’m not British right now, I would be super beyond embarrassed to be associated with this fake family.
This whole thing turns my stomach. The complicitness of this is beyond the pale. And it hits hard right now because I’m trying to cut ties with my family. My grandma sheltered a pedophile for years, my uncle, and she still does. He lives with her and she’s protective of him. The worst thing is that she’s not in denial, she KNOWS. She knows what he is, she’s always known. He molested my mother, myself, and several others in the family. But initially my Gma refused to believe when my mom told her about it, and later on she excused It, because he’s family. My mother is dead now, so I can’t ask her about her childhood anymore.
I was removed from my home when I was a kid and put in foster care, and I’ve been away from them ever since, but I still talk to her and would on occasion visit. (There’s a lot I’m gliding over, but my bio family is a mess). The pressure to perform familyhood is overwhelming and toxic with them. For the first time in my life I refused to go see her because I didn’t want to be around him, I was so tired and done with it. I tried to talk to her on Christmas and have a normal conversation, but after a few minutes she started praising him for cooking Christmas dinner. I felt so sick, and like I’m slowly waking up from being brainwashed. I told a good friend about this and she told me it sounded like a cult.
I’ve distanced myself as much as I can physically from them, but I realized how much my family still has a hold on me. I’m 35, and it’s taken me this long to really internalize how dangerous it is to be around them. (To clarify, I was put in foster care because my mother grew up to be a raging alcoholic.) my uncle has gone to jail before, but never for the pedophilia. I’ve also learned recently that my grandpa assaulted my mom when she was a kid as well. I knew he abused them physically, but didn’t know it was sexual as well. I’m so done.
My Gma has said and still says that family is more important than anything. “Blood is thicker than water,” she’ll say. I’ve confronted her about my uncle and other toxic family members, but all she says is, “but they’re family!”
To clarify, I know she wasn’t the one to molest me or my mom, but she turned a blind eye to it, and she’ll forgive and excuse and deny till her last breath, because “Family” is more important than individual suffering, more important than the safety of any one person.
Sforeman I am so sorry you had to grow up like that. Your instincts are spot on this is so toxic. You deserve 1000 times better than to be treated like this
Thanks, Liz. I really appreciate.All my friends have supported me in this, which I’m so glad for because disentangling myself has been a long time coming, and it would be so much more difficult w/o their support.
She is twisted and sick. I’m so glad you have the strength to walk away from her, it’s horrible that you ever had to even meet them.
Thank you, Jane. She’s 86, and still thinks this way, so I don’t have much hope for her to acknowledge what she let happen. I regret not walking away before now, but better late than never.
I wish people like you were the majority in this world. My grandmother was another ‘family predators first’ enabler, and so I’ve seen how that plays out through the generations and it just destroys everyone eventually, no matter how rich or charming, unless they get out like you are doing.
I think I may be at the point where I don’t care two figs what the Queen thinks, feels, or finds embarrassing.
I am concerned that (as I write), only 92 people have commented on this story.
That is all.
The Queen is pathetic and sad, and her son is a demon who should live in an oubliette for the rest of his days.
The Queen is not upset what Andrew really is-a pedo, but he got caught and it is in the public discourse.
In a world of Pedo-Andrews-give me more Harrys anyday.
And it’s now reported Queenie and Charlie-boy have had “crisis meetings” about PaedoAndy’s ‘situation’
-Why didn’t they hold these meetings in the first place? If we ever needed more proof Sussexit was a deflection tool
