Her choice of escorts will be seen as a vote of support for Andrew after he settled a lawsuit linked to his relationship with the late, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_20434835\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/03\/GettyImages-1239589165.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Britain\u2019s Queen Elizabeth II (L) and Britain\u2019s Prince Andrew, Duke of York, arrive to attend a Service of Thanksgiving for Britain\u2019s Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey in central London on March 29, 2022. \u2013 A thanksgiving service will take place on Tuesday for Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s late husband, Prince Philip, nearly a year after his death and funeral held under coronavirus restrictions.
