I don't think she had the physical, and
0:01
probably the mental strength to stand up
0:03
>> What about the Queen herself? I mean, he
0:05
was often talked about as being her
0:07
favorite. I think even after the
0:09
dreadful newsnight interview, she chose
0:13
him to accompany her arm-in-arm at
0:15
Prince Philip's funeral. What do you
0:17
think she would have made it? I mean, a
0:18
woman of a kind of unimpeachable record
0:20
of service, but I think a weakness when
0:23
>> Well, the media have often said that he
0:25
was the favorite child. I worked for her
0:27
for 12 years. She didn't show any
0:28
favoritism to any of her children. She
0:30
treats them all absolutely equally, as
0:32
she did to her grandchildren. So, I
0:34
would dispute that. Of course, when the
0:36
story broke in 2010, we didn't know then
0:38
what we know now. The files hadn't been
0:40
released. More and more information has
0:42
come to light. So, the late Queen could
0:44
only act on the information that she
0:46
knew at the time. Also, she was in the
0:48
twilight of her reign. She was in her
0:51
90s. She'd just lost her husband. Andrew
0:53
could be quite a brutish character. You
0:56
know, he wanted to get his own way.
0:57
Clearly, he wanted to walk
0:59
uh along with her for the memorial
1:01
service in Westminster Abbey. And I
1:03
don't think she had the physical, and
1:05
probably the mental strength to stand up
