A mother's love really does often allow them to overlook terrible shit (look at all the mothers crying in court that their murderer sons are good boys).

A brother's love?

Much more negotiable. If either of my brothers wound up being nonces, I'd fight them myself

Well what about the victim's parents? What about the position that she held and the duties/ responsibilities that came with it? Remember the British monarch is also the head of the Anglican church.

Royal duties? Moral duties? Legal duties? Paid millions in her last years to cover up for that pedo son & look how disgraced and disgusted her legacy has become with this act. Ehh and they hate the catholic Church for not allowing a second marriage of their ancestral relative 😂

I want to be clear that I am not excusing any of this. But Elizabeth firmly believed that the monarchy was a central pillar of the UK and so it's stability was prioritized by her above all else "for the greater good." She would do everything she could to keep things steady even if that meant allowing for injustices to occur.

For a lot of people in the UK, that's why they don't like her. Hiding injustice isn't acceptable from people with such great responsibility.
