Queen Elizabeth of the UK, Always Frustrated Because of Eldest Son Prince Charles
[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Reports have emerged that Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom was always frustrated because of her eldest son, Prince Charles.
According to British media such as the Daily Mail, Clive Irving, author of 'The Last Queen' which covers the British royal family, appeared in a documentary aired on Channel 4 and made these claims.
According to Irving, Queen Elizabeth II showed affection toward her second son, Prince Andrew.
In the Channel 4 documentary, Ingrid Seward, editor of the British royal magazine Majesty, also revealed that Prince Charles and Prince Andrew have completely opposite personalities.
According to Seward, Queen Elizabeth II was proud that Prince Andrew actively served in the navy, including personally piloting a helicopter during the 1982 Falklands War.
However, Prince Andrew is also a figure who caused trouble for the British royal family. He was embroiled in controversy over allegations that he had sexual relations with a teenage girl sent by Jeffrey Epstein, an American billionaire convicted of child sex crimes.
In November 2019, Prince Andrew announced that he would suspend his official duties, taking responsibility for the 'sex trafficking' allegations made against him.
The documentary also mentioned the scandal of Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth II's sister who passed away in 2002.
Princess Margaret caused controversy in the mid-1950s by expressing her intention to marry Peter Townsend, a divorced royal equerry.
There have been claims that Queen Elizabeth II tried to prevent her sister from marrying a divorced man.
According to the documentary, Queen Elizabeth II agreed with then British Prime Minister Anthony Eden regarding Princess Margaret's wedding.
However, the documentary explained that the marriage could not proceed because Princess Margaret ended her relationship with Townsend.
