The Queen followed her instincts to take swift action against Prince Andrew to save The Firm.
The 96-year-old 'protected the institution' in 2019 when the Duke of York invited public fury over his ties with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Royal correspondent for The Times Valentine Low reveals: “The Queen is there to protect the institution of the Royal Family and she will do that above all else.
“We saw this with Prince Andrew.”
Mr Low continued: “The damage from that was immediate and seismic.
“It was a very small number of days before he was stepping down from his royal duties.
“He went from a working Prince in the Royal Family to nothing.”
In his interview with the BB, Prince declared he had 'no recollection' of meeting sexual assault accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
