Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip have four children. But, among all the royal siblings, Prince Andrew has become arguably the most controversial, apart from Prince Charles.
With his recent entanglement with the late Jeffrey Epstein's case, it is not surprising why he has since stepped back from his royal duties as the Duke of York. Some reports even claimed that it was the British Monarch who asked him to resign from his duties and responsibilities.
Despite all these controversial events, the Queen and his second son have, reportedly, maintained a good and close relationship. As revealed, they even spent quality time together following Prince Andrew's bombshell interview with BBC.
Sources have, repeatedly, attested that Queen Elizabeth II always favors her second son. As it happens, the Duke of York is her "favorite," according to the Daily Express. The same is also, reportedly, said to be true for Prince Philip.
Many have, allegedly, concluded that the reason behind this is because Prince Andrew "signified" that the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's marriage was "back on track." His arrival was also an important event in British history since he became the "first child" born to a currently reigning monarch in the last century, as per claims.
While it is already known speculation that the royal couple has always favored their second son, Queen Elizabeth II is not, reportedly, "blind" to her son's "faults." As pointed out, she, previously, asserted that the royal-born Prince is "not always a ray of sunshine," even during his youthful years.
The same report continued to share that Prince Andrew's "wild antics" actually started as a child. Revelations emerged that he has always had a "lifelong fondness for practical jokes."
In the past, he, reportedly, once placed a "whoopee cushion" on the Queen Mother's chair. There was also a time when he reportedly "interfered" with the Palace's aerials causing Queen Elizabeth II to miss the races.
Aside from Queen Elizabeth II's "frank" assertions about her son, Prince Charles also reportedly had something to say about his brother. As stated, the Prince of Wales once deemed the Duke of York as a shaken "fizzy drink," with the "top taken off."
In his material titled, Prince Andrew: The End of The Monarchy and Epstein, royal author Nigel Cawthorne, reportedly, shared a lot of shocking revelations about the Queen's alleged "favorite son." Aside from deeming him as a "handful," sources also, reportedly, called him "Baby Grumpling" and a "bully."
