Royal nightmare: Queen 'knows she will be the last monarch of Great Britain'

Recent scandals have seen the ruler plunge into a dark mood
  • 05 Dec 2019

After a spate of royal scandals - from Prince Andrew’s involvement with sex creep Jeffrey Epstein, to Prince Harry and Prince William’s squabbles - reports say that the Queen is fearing the end of the monarchy.

“There has always been grumbling about the tax money going to the wealthy royal family, but the latest scandals have whipped the public into a purple fury,” a royal insider told US publication GLOBE. 

“People are calling for an end to the costly ‘sovereign grant’ that pays millions in allowances to the royals each year. And the queen, who is ailing and 93, is terrified the monarchy will cease to exist after her death,” they continue.

Before the monarchy was able to weather the royal divorces of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, and Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, but now with Prince Andrew’s association with Epstein, the public are beginning to distance from the royals. 

“Andrew’s refusal to say he regretted ever knowing Epstein and his apparent lack of feeling for the creep’s victims was outrageous — despite his proclamations he never had sex with a member of the paedophile’s underage harem,” notes the insider.

Add to the fact Harry and Meghan have been fighting with Prince Andrew along with lavishly spending the tax-payer’s money on private jets and home renovations, it’s a “publicity nightmare” notes the publication.

“The queen is in despair that these scandals have shamed the royal family beyond repair,” says the insider. “She’s depressed and distraught that her death will mark the end of the monarchy.”
