Over the years, Prince Andrew, Duke of York has been known for living an eccentric andlavish lifestyle.
On a 2021 vacation to Balmoral, the duke traveled with three SUVs, perDaily Mail.
Besides cars, Andrew is also an enthusiastic collector of stuffed toys.
In 2010, the prince told theDaily Beast, “I’ve always collected teddy bears.
According toWoman & Home, Andrew also has a hippo and panther as non-bear additions in his collection.
If they don’t, [Andrew] shouts and screams.”
Charlotte Briggs,Andrew’s former maid, confirmed Page’s story.
“They each had a set place,” she toldThe Sun.
The Duke of York’s two favorite bears had their own bedside thrones.
Briggs also confirmed Page’s reports of ill-treatment.
“Andrew was extremely demanding.
Everything had to be immaculate and he threw his weight around.
I often tried to hide,” she toldThe Sun.
And she said, ‘No they are all Andrew’s.’
We found it very funny and fell about laughing."
Seward wasn’t the only one who got a laugh from the prince’s bears.
“you could imagine him crying, ‘Mummy, they haven’t put the hippos on my bed!’
to the Queen if anyone got it wrong.”
“It was a bit odd but it was very tongue in cheek.
He used to find it very funny.”
As reported by theDaily Mailin 2019, Day recalled interviewing the Duke of York 10 years earlier.
I wondered if this was someone who had never really grown up because he had never had to."
