Prince Andrew has apparently always treated staff poorly. Just after he was stripped of his HRH and his patronages, a former Buckingham Palace maid told her story about how Andrew would scream at her often and how he refused to do anything for himself. He also had dozens of stuffed animals on his bed – as an adult man, in his 40s – which had to be arranged a certain way. Those stories were from the 1990s and early 2000s. But guess what? Andrew still screams at staff on a regular basis. Again, where is the energy for a bullying investigation into Andrew’s behavior??
Under-pressure Prince Andrew shouted at a female gardener over wrongly-cut trees — just days after he was served with his sex case writ. The Duke left the flunkey “shaken and upset” in Windsor after he had been served his sex-abuse writ by accuser Virginia Giuffre.
He “shouted and yelled” at the flunkey who wasn’t to blame, it is claimed. A royal insider said: “Andrew is under a great deal of stress but it’s no reason to take it out on staff doing their job. She had nothing to do with the damage and felt it was unfair. After all, it’s only a few saplings.”
The gardener was part of a team working on the young trees in October when the Duke stomped out of his 31-room, £30million Royal Lodge mansion on the Queen’s Windsor estate. His outburst came soon after he had been served with a sex abuse writ by Virginia Giuffre, a trafficking victim of the prince’s former pals Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Numerous people are said to have witnessed his tantrum and haranguing.
The gardener, who The Sun on Sunday is not identifying, still works for the Queen at Windsor Castle but no longer tends the grounds of Andy’s home. The insider said of the bust-up: “There was a team of gardeners tending the grounds and Andrew spotted a problem with saplings. He started screaming and shouting, ‘What have you done?’ The gardener was very upset and shaken. She has always been considered conscientious and hard-working. Andrew was over the top. You just don’t talk to people like that no matter who you are.”
This would have been last summer, that’s when David Boies (Virginia’s lawyer) had Andrew “served” in the UK. Am I the only one who wonders just what the gardener actually did though? I’m not saying anything would justify being screamed at by a rapist loser, but I would like to know what the hell the gardener did with the saplings? Were they too close together? Not planted in the right place? Were the saplings dying? The lack of specificity is interesting. There should definitely be a bullying investigation to work out what really happened.
