The squabble unfolded Christmastime 1999 at Sandringham Estate, northeast of London, when Younger brother Andrew, then 39, refused to remove his toiletries from a loo earmarked for Prince Charles, 51, The Sun reported.
“We were told not to pass something and now not to contact something in that lavatory due to the fact there used to be an ‘ongoing situation,’” Janette McGowan, then a Buckingham Palace maid who traveled with the royal family, informed the outlet.
“When participants of the Royal Family journey to Sandringham they are every allocated rooms and a bathroom.
“But Prince Andrew took the lavatory that was allocated for the Prince of Wales and he wouldn’t budge and refused to take his stuff out of it. It turned into a weird stand-off.”
It took the queen to “defuse the situation,” McGowan said.
“She definitely had to have words with Andrew and say to him that he had to use the other loo and that used to be when he in the end backed down.
“He was almost 40 at the time. It used to be very strange behavior for anyone of that age,” she continued.
Prince Andrew has a records of petulant outbursts and has not gained any desire with his family in the years since.
Another servant currently said that the Duke of York would “shout and scream” if any person misplaced the teddy bears stored in his Buckingham Palace bedroom.
And closing week the Queen stripped Prince Andrew of his royal and navy titles in wake of the shame he brought the family for his affiliation with the Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He now fears “complete financial ruin.”
