We know. She gave £2 million towards buying the silence of Virginia Giuffre, potentially using taxpayers money. Awful woman. The monarchy should’ve died with her.

Yes this isn’t news. We knew she paid off a victim to go away. Why are people pretending we didn’t know exactly what she did. I rolled my eyes at every single tribute when she died

The sooner we dispose of this family of reprobates, the sooner we can move into the 21st century

Couple of things:
It’s her son. Doesn’t need to be more complicated than that. She might have known the full truth and still supported him, because it’s her son. I know Reddit is filled with people who have cut their parents off, or endorse doing so at the drop of a hat, but in the real world prisons are filled with murderers whose mothers still visit them every opportunity and love them just the same.
Her helping with the payments etc are possibly less about protecting Andrew and more about protecting the institute of the crown. Getting a royal infront of a career hungry American prosecutor under oath is probably the worst nightmare of for a family that is notoriously private. Obviously the issue of Andrew’s behaviour being the main problem, but even things about the inner workings of the family would be on the table and that would be deeply troubling for the Queen.

Andy was the only family member – besides the dogs of course – that she is said to have loved unconditionally. Or that’s what some Fleet Street tabloids used to say.

The Queen has been completely deified in this country. The media was so subservient towards her it was sickening. Huge questions and scrutiny should have been on her role in this long ago. She very clearly helped attempted to cover this up and a mother’s love is not a good enough excuse

Charles and William both seem to have lots of skeletons rattling about – and both seem to be unpleasant people.
Hopefully we are seeing the end of this corrupt and disgusting practice.

Any goodwill she may have garnered through her life vanished for a lot of people. A lifetime of tolerating and hiding his transgressions arguably made him get even worse.

Wonder how all those people who spent hours in a queue will feel knowing they wasted their lives waiting to see a nonce-defender

Never let anyone say the royals have no power, they have plenty of power and they use it for their own selfish purposes.

She knows that I’ve been doing something wrong
But she won’t say anything
She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
But she won’t mind me lying
Because
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
It breaks the cage
And fear escapes and takes possession
Just like a crowd rioting inside
Make me do this, make me do that
Make me do this, make me do that
Am I the cat that takes the bird
To her the hunted, not the hunter?
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
Mother hides the madman
Mother will stay mum
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will stay mum
Stands for comfort

I never shed one tear for Elizabeth. And I never will.

Its hard to judge tbh. When the information is coming from the same place that’s been telling stories about you that are 1 part true 10 part bullshit for your whole life, it was probably pretty easy for Andrew to play it down or blame it on the media twisting it.
Having had it happen to her for like 60 years, I can see her giving him the benefit of the doubt.

How many people in the room would have the backing of their mum no matter what they did?
I’m conservatively guessing 95%.

Yeah, almost like she died protecting the nonces and it was the time to have the conversation about the lot of them.

I know it sounds silly but it’s really upset me . And this has been a horrific eye opener without this part . I feel stupid and appalled . But I’ve only recently learnt how bad things were . She knew it ALL and still . Shame , expected better of her .
