The Channel 4 documentary, Queen Elizabeth: Love, Honor and Crown, which airs tonight at 9pm, sees royal commentators discuss the Queen’s relationship with her eldest son, and the heir to the throne. Author Clive Irving said the Monarch is ‘constantly frustrated’ with Prince Charles (pictured: the Queen and Prince Charles during the 2019 Braemar Highland Games)
Irving also said the queen feels more attracted to ‘candid’ love with Prince Andrew (pictured: Prince Charles, Prince Andrew and the Queen at Buckingham Palace in 2019)
Irving also claims that Prince William is the only royal who fully appreciates the ‘very dedicated sense of duty’ of the Monarch and says: ‘Everyone around the queen never complies. Her own family did not measure up to that. Charles never complies with that. ‘
The royal writer also said that the queen was more attracted to Prince Andrew (61) than his older brother, saying: “To this day she is more open to Andrew and more forgiving to Andrew than to Charles.”
In discussing the different characters of the siblings, Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, called Charles ‘the opposite of the younger brother Andrew’.
She said: ‘He’s [Andrew] noisy, blunt, very charming, if he wants to be. He can be arrogant and rude; he has some characteristics of his own father. ‘
Clive Irving, who was filmed during a recent interview on his latest book The Last Queen, is one of the many royal commentators appearing in the Channel 4 documentary.
Seward added that Andrew’s active duty in the navy, following Prince Philip, including managing helicopters on missions during the Falklands War, ensured that he returned ‘like a war hero, his mother was proud’.
She said Charles and Andrew were first and second on the throne at that time ‘representing everything that the monarchy could be’.
The documentary claims to be an ‘in-depth investigation into several dramatic conflicts between Crown and Family during the Queen’s long reign’ and begins with a look at the early romance of the Queen and Prince Philip in the mid-1940s.
This week, a source close to the royal family claims that Prince William does not believe he is ‘trapped’ in the system of the British monarchy, something that is claimed by Prince Harry.
The couple’s marriage in 1947 was a low-key affair, but was hijacked by the need to present a post-war cheer and turn into a much larger national celebration.
The program also suggests that Prince Philip, 99, who has recovered from a recent period of ill health after a month-long stay in London hospitals, has played a key role in modernizing the monarchy.
Declassified documents obtained by Channel 4 also reveal that the Queen gave her consent for the unfortunate engagement of Princess Margaret to group captain Peter Townsend, a divorcee – but that the monarch had to conclude an agreement with then-Prime Minister Anthony Eden for the possible marriage with get the green light from the Government
The documentary contains classified documents, including shedding light on Princess Margaret’s unhappy relationship with group captain Peter Townsend, a divorced man who was King George VI.
The queen could not give permission for a marriage to continue because she is the head of the church, which did not allow divorcees to marry in the church at that time in history – but some claimed that the Monarch tried to ‘crossbar’. the marriage, which the documents now refute.
According to the documents obtained by Channel 4, the then Prime Minister Anthony Eden also had to give permission, and the Queen and the Prime Minister entered into an agreement for a wedding to proceed. However, the couple did not make it, but Princess Margaret eventually ended their love affair.
This week, a source close to the royal family claims that Prince William does not believe he is ‘trapped’ in the system of the British monarchy, something Prince Harry claimed during his interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this month.
Instead, the Duke of Cambridge, who is second in the throne behind his father, ‘accepted’ his role and ‘set the way for him’, say royal sources.
“He is very much his grandson’s grandson in terms of duty and service,” the source, who is close to both brothers, told the Sunday Times.
Queen Elizabeth: Love, Honor and Crown will be broadcast on Channel 4 on Sunday 21 March at 21:00
