Queen Elizabeth is, allegedly, distancing herself from Prince Andrew amid claims that he could be arrested following a series of sexual abuse allegations.

According to In Touch Weekly, the queen isn’t disowning her favorite son. However, she doesn’t also want to be associated with the Duke of York following Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrest.

“The queen is absolutely horrified that Andrew, her favorite son, is involved in a sex-trafficking criminal case. This is her worst nightmare. She’s advised him to tell the truth, which Andrew says he’s doing, but the queen is still shocked that her son knew about Epstein’s previous arrest involving underage women yet continued to associate himself with him. She might not disown Andrew, but she’s certainly keeping her distance from him,” the source said.

Still, Prince Andrew continues to receive the support of his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. The source said that Fergie has vowed to stand by Prince Andrew until the bitter end.

“She’s doing whatever she can to help him stay positive. She still cares deeply for Andrew, and at the end of the day, he’s the father of her children,” the source said.

Earlier this month, Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested after almost a year in hiding. There are claims that Maxwell could expose the dirt on Prince Andrew to save herself amid claims that she helped entice girls to hook up with the royal and Jeffrey Epstein.

There are also rumors suggesting that Maxwell may be holding on to evidence that could implicate Prince Andrew. As such, the Duke of York decided to cancel his trip to Spain because he’s allegedly worried that he could get arrested there.

“Andrew could be charged if she produces evidence that Virginia Giuffre is telling the truth. If Andrew knew about it and went along with what was going on, he could be charged with conspiracy of sex-trafficking or accessory to the fact. He could be facing 10 to 16 years in prison.

Maxwell, on the other hand, is reportedly facing 35 years in prison.

The source also said that Prince Andrew is horrified about what could happen to him and the monarchy if he gets arrested.

“Ghislaine may have been his friend at one point, but that may mean nothing once authorities tighten the vise. Andrew must be peering out of the window of his home all day wondering if the FBI is about to charge up his driveway next just like they did with Ghislaine,” the source said.

Prince Andrew hasn’t reacted to Maxwell’s recent arrest.
