Prince Andrew 'summons maids to pick up his used tissues' as he's 'horrible' to staff
Prince Andrew is said to be 'horrible' to staff and even drops used tissues on the floor before summoning maids to pick them up, according to a new book and documentary. Prince Andrew has been accused of regularly mistreating staff members, even going as far as dropping used tissues on the floor and expecting maids to pick them up. These allegations have surfaced according to comments made in a new book. The explosive revelations about the disgraced Duke of York's behaviour come from Andrew Lownie's new book, The Rise and Fall Of The House of York, which describes Prince Andrew as being "horrible" to his staff. These claims are further explored in a new Channel 5 documentary, Andrew and Fergie: The Duke and Duchess of Excess, where royal biographer Lownie shares more details, as reported in the Mirror. " Andrew was particularly horrible to staff; he doesn't seem to see them as normal people," Lownie stated. "He treats them as basically subordinates to be bossed around. I think he's very narcissistic and everything is about him." The author continued: "He'll summon his protection officer to pick up his golf balls after he's teed them down the fairway, he will summon maids from four floors down to open the curtains. He will drop tissues he's used on the floor and expect people to pick that up." The 90-minute documentary, which aired on Saturday, delves into the lives of Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, exploring their relationship, controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein and luxury lifestyles. The documentary noted: "Andrew has not commented on the new claims about his behaviour towards staff." Andrew withdrew from public engagements in 2019 following the outcry surrounding his association with Epstein after his Newsnight appearance. He no longer serves as a working royal but has still been seen at family occasions. Earlier this year, he accompanied the King and other senior royals for their annual Easter Sunday worship at St George's Chapel in Windsor. It has previously been claimed that Andrew requested a staff member be relocated because he "disliked a mole on the man's face". Royal writer Tom Quinn made the claim in the Times, stating: "It's true that some royals can display acts of ill temper. "One former servant recalled how Prince Andrew insisted on a member of staff being transferred because he disliked a mole on the man's face." The author continued: "Speaking of Andrew, that another former servant asked for a man to be 'moved to other duties for wearing a nylon tie.'". Andrew has previously been labelled as "very difficult" to work alongside, with some staff members even reportedly attempting to "avoid" the ex-working royal. Former royal butler Paul Burrell revealed in the documentary The Palace: What the Royal Servants Saw: "People tried to avoid Prince Andrew because he was very difficult. Prince Andrew was always bombastic, shouty, and always swore, and that's something that you don't expect from a royal." In response to Lownie's explosive new book, pals of Andrew have dismissed the allegations as "inaccurate". A friend confided in the Daily Beast: "It would be totally inaccurate to say they are devastated or heartbroken by the book, or any of this c***. "There are absolutely no new revelations-it's just a rehash of things already said brought together in one place. The family used to wonder when this would ever end; now they know it never will. It's just, the tide comes in and the tide goes out."

Royal Family 'living in fear' of 'what could come out' over Prince Andrew
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Channel 5 broadcast the documentary Andrew and Fergie: The Duke and Duchess of Excess, which followed the launch of Andrew Lownie's bombshell new book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. The programme examined the pair's extravagant spending, murky financial arrangements, and dubious associations, including Andrew's links with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew Lownie, who appeared in the documentary, branded the duo "greedy" and revealed that despite attempting to locate someone willing to speak positively about Andrew, 99% refused to do so. This follows reports that Prince Harry will 'never be forgiven' by two senior royals despite hopes of reconciliation. Making additional explosive allegations, Andrew Lownie claims that compromising footage featuring Prince Andrew may have been acquired and shared with foreign spy agencies, reports the Mirror. "I think one of the most worrying things I discovered was the amount of kompromat there must be on Andrew. We know that Jeffrey Epstein had filmed people in his home," Lownie stated in the Channel 5 documentary. Prior to his death, it was claimed Epstein had sold portions of this intelligence to Mossad, Libyan security services, and potentially the Russians. "There is material from my sources talking about kompromat in China, in Libya, in the Middle East, and elsewhere. So I mean, there must be an awful lot of sex tapes running around, and I'm just amazed that they haven't hit the internet," Lownie claimed. The assertion has been made previously, but there's no public evidence that such tapes exist, and Prince Andrew has remained silent on the matter. "Who knows what could come out?" journalist Richard Eden pondered. "I think the Royal Family still lives in fear, frankly, of what could come out." In 2019, amidst the uproar over his friendship with Epstein following his Newsnight interview, Andrew withdrew from public duties and ceased using His Royal Highness. Despite no longer being a working royal, he has attended family events. Earlier this year, he joined the King and several other senior royals for their traditional Easter Sunday service at St George's Chapel in Windsor. Earlier this week, news resurfaced about Andrew's "lifelong teddy bear obsession" following the release of an explosive new biography. In 2022, a peculiar story emerged about the embattled prince's alleged collection of 50 to 60 teddy bears. A former Royal officer even claimed that Andrew would "scream and shout" if his staff didn't carry out a specific task involving the toys. Former protection officer Paul Page alleged in the ITV documentary 'Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile' that the Duke would become enraged if his servants didn't arrange them in a certain way at Buckingham Palace.

Royal Family 'live in fear' as experts 'amazed' Prince Andrew tapes haven't leaked
Tonight, Channel 5 aired the documentary, Andrew & Fergie: The Duke and Duchess of Excess, following the release of Andrew Lownie's explosive new book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.

Andrew Lownie, who featured in the documentary, called the couple "greedy" and said although he tried to find someone to say something positive about Andrew, 99% of them didn't. It comes after news that Prince Harry will 'never be forgiven' by two major royals despite reconciliation hope. Making further bombshell claims, Andrew Lownie alleges that compromising material involving Prince Andrew may have been obtained and passed to foreign intelligence services.
