Queen Elizabeth Forced To Read The Riot Act To Prince Andrew

Queen Elizabeth Forced To Read The Riot Act To Prince AndrewWhile raising children in the royal spotlight is never easy, it looks like Queen Elizabeth has been forced to take matters into her own hands quite often and throughout the years. That’s because both she and Prince Philip have had a hard time making sure that their son Prince Andrew is kept in line. As a matter of fact, there’s a new report that suggests Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were forced to read the riot act to their son Andrew after he took things a little too far several years ago.

According to Express.co.uk, one incident back in 1984 left Queen Elizabeth so furious that she pulled Prince Andrew aside and gave him a warning that he would never forget. Royal journalist Sue Arnold said that the Queen has always been quite worried about her second-born son and the problems that he has caused over the years.

The Riot Act

She said, “Andrew’s romantic escapades, together with some much-publicized midshipman japes (he has a penchant for practical jokes), earned him the reputation of Royal Lout-About-Town, a label that saddened his mother and annoyed his father.Secretly, however, Prince Philip admires Andrew’s macho action-man image – it reminds him of his own youth.”

Arnold says that it wasn’t until that things got out of hand for Prince Andrew during a trip to the United States that the Queen had had enough.

She continues: “It was only after the famous paint-spraying episode on an official visit to California, when Andrew doused a row of photographers with white paint, that his parents finally read the riot act.”

Prince Andrew And Sarah Ferguson’s Divorce

That wasn’t the only time that Queen had to put her foot down with Andrew. She was also so embarrassed over all of the negative and humiliating headlines that Prince Andrew was making with his then wife Sarah Ferguson that she summoned him for yet another reading of her riot act.

Arnold explained, “The monarchy itself was in peril, it was at such a low ebb.It was in such a terrible state that they had to do something. That was the turning point when the Queen said, enough is enough, you must now divorce. We have to draw a line under this.
