Queen’s favourite child revealed – and it’s not Prince Charles
While most of us see the Queen as a dedicated monarch who has led her country for 67 years, to her four children she is just mum.
The Queen and Prince Philip are parents to Prince Charles , Princess Anne , Prince Andrew and Prince Edward – but according to one royal expert she has an "obvious" favourite.
The couple fell pregnant with Charles shortly after their wedding, and Anne followed just a year later.
But there was then an 11 year gap before next royal baby , and during those years the King George VI died and Princess Elizabeth became Queen.
In Jeremy Paxman’s new Channel 5 documentary the journalist spoke to royal historian Piers Brendon who believes Andrew is the Queen’s favourite.
While most most assume Charles is in the top spot as he’s set to follow in her footsteps as monarch, Piers claims there is a very specific reason why Andrew beats him in the Queen’s eyes.
Speaking on Paxman on the Queen’s Children he says Andrew was an "action man".
He said: "Andy skipped university and went straight to naval college, which went down well with his naval officer father.
"He completed the Marines Commando course, just to show he could, before qualifying as a helicopter pilot.
"Then, aged just 22, he fought in the Falklands.
"Prince Andrew is obviously the Queen’s favourite son.
"He was heroic during the Falklands War – she clearly has a soft spot for him."
