Prince Andrew threw tantrum if his teddy bear collection was disturbed, UK documentary to claim
- Former royal protection officer makes claims about Prince Andrew’s love of his soft toy collection
- ITV documentary ‘Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile’ set to be screened on Tuesday
Prince Andrew’s love of his soft toy collection meant he would throw a tantrum if the teddy bears were moved, an ITV documentary will allege.
A laminated picture of Andrew’s favoured possessions was said to be kept in a drawer to help household staff properly place them on his bed.
The claims will be made by former royal protection officer Paul Page in the ITV programme Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile, which is due to be screened on Tuesday.
Speaking about the duke’s private apartment, Page said: “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 on the bed.
“And the reason for the laminated picture was that, if those bears weren’t put back in the right order by the maids, he would shout and scream and become verbally abusive.”
