Royal Family News – Andrew Needs Rehab?
According to reports, Andrew’s friends swear that the late Queen Elizabeth encouraged him to do charity work as a means of polishing his image, the same tactic politician John Profumo used after his affair with 19-year-old Christine Keeler was exposed in 1963.
A source close to Andrew told the Independent: “Andrew’s mother suggested the route forward was taking on a charitable cause. Other members of the family agreed and saw it as his only way to rehabilitation.”
And yet there is no record of Her Majesty speaking of such a move for her disgraced son, who is said to have been her favorite child.
