Prince Andrew was 'not Queen’s favourite child', claims royal author

Emily Maitlis, whose notorious interview with Prince Andrew forced the disgraced royal to announce his departure from public life, has revealed she believes the prince “had behaved rather well.”

The loyal daughters of Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are said to have begged Prince Charles to give their dad a job. Andrew, 62, who was left shell-shocked when the Queen stripped him of military titles and HRH use at the beginning of the year, has had his case for a job fought by his daughters Beatrice, 34, and Eugenie, 32. The Sun reports that the Prince of Wales, 73, held a summit with the princesses at his home on the Birkhall Estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Princess Diana was famous for being a trailblazer when it came to the causes she supported and her cutting-edge fashion - but she also bucked royal trends with Princes William and Harry's births.

Her Majesty the Queen welcomed Prince Charles via Caesarean at Buckingham Palace, where the Buhl Room was converted into a 'miniature hospital'.
