In the not-too-distant past, when Prince Andrew was still a prince, there was one person he could rely on: his mother.<\/p>\n

In troubled times, the late Queen would allow him to visit her at Windsor Castle<\/a>, providing if not a heart-to-heart talk with her errant second son, then at least some company.<\/p>\n

In her latter years, as Andrew\u2019s scandals<\/a> gained notoriety, advisers began to refer wearily to his \u201ctea-with-the-Queen tactic\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was just sorry for him,\u201d one such senior adviser is quoted as saying in a new biography by Robert Hardman. \u201cThe others [her children] had spouses, duties, respect. He did not.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the three years since Elizabeth II\u2019s death, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been stripped of his titles<\/a>, honours, styles and home, and arrested on claims of misconduct in public office.<\/p>\n

Recent images have seen him cut a lonely figure. First out riding by himself in a rainy Windsor, then walking the dogs alone at Sandringham as he waits to move into his new home at Marsh Farm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
