QUEEN, 95, DERAILS ANDREW SEX PROBE

Calls off law dogs investigating claim favorite son raped Epstein slave, 17

FRANTIC Queen Elizabeth secretly squashed Scotland Yard’s criminal investigation into Prince Andrew’s sex life — and twisted ties to child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — in a desperate bid to save her disgraced son from facing justice, stunned palace insiders say.

Now the rest of the royal family, who see Andrew as a cancer on the monarchy, are convinced Britain’s 95-year-old ruler has signed their dynasty’s death warrant and the crown will never recover from the shocking decree, a palace courtier claims.

Meanwhile, Her Majesty’s favorite son and his lackeys are publicly crowing they’re “not surprised” Britain’s Metropolitan Police dropped the probe into Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s claim she was raped by the rogue royal at accused Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s London townhouse in 2001.
