The queen’s third son, her favourite, it is often said, Prince Andrew paid tribute to his mother on Sunday. A “three in one” tribute to the Queen, the “Mother of the Country” and the “Mom”.
“Your Majesty, it has been an honor and a privilege to serve you,” he wrote. “Mother of the Nation, her dedication and personal service to our nation is unique and singular.”
“Mom, your love for a son, your compassion, your care, your trust, I will always treasure them,” he continues in a more personal record. “I have found your infinite knowledge and wisdom, without limit or restriction. I will miss your ideas, your advice and your humor. Just as our book of experiences closes, another one opens, and I will always carry you close to my heart with my deepest love. and gratitude, and I will walk in joy, with you as my guide.
princes vigil
Retired from public life, stripped of his military titles and of his functions and honors after a sexual scandal, Prince Andrew appeared for the first time in many months, after the death of the queen.
We saw it on September 10, looking at the flowers and messages left by the crowd at Balmoral, where the queen died. Then follows, in civilian clothes, the coffin of the sovereign, on September 14 in London. She finally participated in the “vigil of the princes”, with her brothers and sister, on Friday, September 16, this time in military uniform.
Prince Andrew was sued in civil proceedings in the United States earlier this year by the American Virginia Guffrevictim of the late american billionaire Jeffrey Epstein who accused her of sexual assault when she was 17 years old. If Andrew managed to avoid a lawsuit thanks to a confidential settlement, your image is permanently ruined in the United Kingdom.
“Old Pervert”
He was thus reprimanded in Edinburgh, on September 12, during the passage of the queen’s coffin, by a protester who shouted “Andrew, you are a perverted old man” and “disgusting”, before being detained by the police.
One of the attorneys for several of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims said it was “beyond embarrassing that Andrew would be accorded any form of state-sponsored honor or privilege, given his past affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein.”
