Queen Elizabeth II has paid for an expensive chauffeur-driven limo tour through the tunnels of Paris for her son Prince Andrew, who has suffered through a difficult few weeks.

Andrew, still mourning the loss of his close friend Jeffrey Epstein, will be driven around the tunnels of Paris at breakneck speeds, thanks to his mother.

‘This is exactly what I need right now,’ Prince Andrew told his mother, who agreed with that assessment.

The Queen booked the holiday for her son after seeing his disastrous BBC interview in which he tried to defend his friendship with Epstein and his own action.

As the Queen said to her aides: ‘One good car crash deserves another.’

It’s unknown who will be driving Prince Andrew through Paris, although his father Prince Philip might be the man for the job.
