Lownie claimed, \u201cBy the end of her life, what people don\u2019t realise, is that she was completely gaga. He [Andrew] would go up there and he would bully her into doing things.\u201d Additionally, the author suggested, \u201cSo for the last few years of her life Charles actually was running the show, rather than the Queen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Lownie also claimed officials raised concerns about Andrew through palace channels and got nowhere. He argued, \u201cShe, I\u2019m afraid, abetted this. The whole family abetted this \u2014 they knew about it,\u201d adding that people in royal circles had discussed the allegations since 2011.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Furthermore, the biographer described what he believes happens privately when the Palace faces pressure. In that, he claimed, \u201cOn one hand, they\u2019re saying publicly \u2018Of course we\u2019ll help any inquiry\u2019, but I know they are putting pressure on police protection officers to not go beyond their obligations on confidentiality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">These claims are just another round of damaging headlines for the Royal Family, not just about <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/working-arrogant-ex-prince-andrew-110405914.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:ex-Prince Andrew;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;ex-Prince Andrew&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">ex-Prince Andrew<\/a>, but about who, as per Lownie, allegedly helped him throughout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/03\/27\/ex-prince-andrew-bully-royal-family-late-queen-his-bidding-expert\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ex-Prince Andrew \u2018Bullied\u2019 This Royal Into Doing His Bidding, Claims Expert;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Ex-Prince Andrew \u2018Bullied\u2019 This Royal Into Doing His Bidding, Claims Expert&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Ex-Prince Andrew \u2018Bullied\u2019 This Royal Into Doing His Bidding, Claims Expert<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Reality Tea&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claims about ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s conduct, and how the Royal Family, including Queen Elizabeth and King Charles, handled it behind palace doors, have triggered scrutiny.
