That was always my impression as well, that Andrew PB was liked by the Queen Mum. The Queen Mum attended ANDREW'S wedding, which just happened to be to Camilla, if you get my drift. Likewise, any relationship Andrew had with Charles was because he was married to Camilla, meaning, Charles would have been friendly to whoever Camilla had married.
Yet I've encountered more than one person on the internet who claims the Queen Mum just adored Camilla and that Andrew PB was Charles's best friend. I wonder who started these myths and why.
