Prince Andrew reportedly "shouted and screamed" if his teddy bear collection was knocked out of place by royal servants, a former royal cop has claimed.
Ex-protection officer Paul Page has revealed new intimate details about Prince Andrew in ITV's new show, "Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile".
Page worked in Royalty and Specialist Protection Command between 1998 and 2004 and had access to the prince's private quarters.
Page claimed the prince had a bed piled high with stuffed animals and toys.
"It had about 50 or 60 stuffed toys positioned on the bed and basically there was a card the inspector showed us in a drawer and it was a picture of these bears all in situ," Page said.
"The reason for the laminated picture was if those bears weren't put back in the right order by the maids, he would shout and scream and become verbally abusive."
Writer Elizabeth Day first saw the prince's "strange" teddy bear collection in 2019 at Buckingham Palace, according to the Daily Mail.
"I was told to wait in a corridor where my only other companion was an oversized teddy bear squashed into a seat," she said.
'When I was ushered in to meet Prince Andrew, I asked him about it. He sniggered and told me it had been a wedding gift from his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
"It seemed rather strange to me that a grown man should be so amused by the presence of a stuffed toy, but I suppose the English upper classes have a long history with teddy bears used as transitional objects to express emotions they might feel uncomfortable with.
"I wondered if this was someone who had never really grown up because he had never had to. Here he was, taking up space in his mother's house, carrying out a made-up job to keep him entertained and still having a teddy bear his ex-wife had given him. It was weird."
Page has had a murky background after being jailed for six years in 2009 for running a $6 million investment fraud scam inside Buckingham Palace.
The news comes after reports that the prince was reportedly in tears when told the Queen had stripped him of his military affiliations and royal patronages.
The demotion comes as Virginia Giuffre alleges Prince Andrew sexually assaulted her at the age of 17. She says this occurred after she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The prince denies the allegations.
