Royal FEUD: How Charles 'has always been ENVIOUS of the Queen’s favourite child' - Daily News #RoyalFEUDHowCharles, #always, #been, #ENVIOUS, #Queen’s, #favourite, #child Queen Elizabeth II became a mother for the first time 70 years ago when she welcomed Prince Charles in 1948. Next, the Queen gave birth to Princess Anne in 1950, just three years before she was thrust into one of the most prominent roles in the world as reigning monarch of Great Britain and head of the Commonwealth. After her first two children, Her Majesty and Prince Philip waited more than a decade before having more – with the 1960 birth of Prince Andrew being followed by Prince Edward in 1964. Royal WARS: How 'feud erupted between Prince Charles and Prince Andrew The ONE thing 'keeping Kate Middleton SANE' in the Royal Family According to 2019 Channel 5 documentary “The Royal Family at War”, the age difference between the brothers caused great tension in the Royal Family and sparked long-lasting rifts – between Charles and Andrew in particular. Throughout his childhood, the Queen's first-born, was notably distant from his parents. After Elizabeth was coronated, her and Prince Philip's busy schedule meant the Prince was left in the care of nannies. The documentary notes that Prince Andrew, who is said to be the Queen’s favourite child, enjoyed a very different relationship with their mother instead. Royal author Katie Nicholl explained: “The Queen was much more settled in her role. “She was able to be much more hands on with Andrew and Edward than she was for Charles and Anne, so perhaps there was a bit of envy in that regard." Royal correspondent Victoria Arbiter added: “Charles had already been packed off to school by then. “He was at Gordonstoun, he was miserable, he hated it. "And there is Andrew at home being rocked by mummy and read bedtime stories and all the things that Charles probably would have wished he had been able to have if the Queen wasn’t so duty-bound right at the start of her reign.” Former royal butler Paul Burrell also explained how all the Queen’s children jockey for position with their mother, but there is clearly a hint of favouritism. He said: "I know it sounds odd but it is true. "Andrew has aways been the Queen's favourite son. He has never done anything wrong in the Queen's eyes." Royal correspondent Penny Juror agreed: "I think Andrew is quite a favourite with the Queen and I suspect she might have a bit of blind spot for him."
