Royals Did the Queen know about Prince Andrew and his sweat glands? The fallout from Prince Andrew’s shambolic interview with Emily Maitlis on BBC Newsnight continues. It was a unanimous bomb. A major disaster. A total sh-t show to the point where even the British tabloids can’t avoid it as, you know, they prefer another royal target. But it’s By Lainey • Nov 19, 2019 10:36 am
