British royal family news reveals that among other things, disgraced and dethroned Prince Andrew is accused of being a serial teddy bear tantrumer. According to a former royalty security guard, Prince Andrew yelled, “if his teddy bear collection was knocked out of place by palace maids.”
Paul Page told the story to Ranvir Singh for the upcoming ITV documentary, Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile; the title says it all, doesn’t it?
The royalty protection officer also said that officers, “believed the Duke has a close relationship with Robert Maxwell’s daughter.” That would be Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been convicted of sex crimes, just like Andrew is accused of in a case which goes to court this fall.
According to Page, Ghislaine Maxwell entered the palace, “at will,” and rarely signed in.

Page left the Metropolitan Police in 2007 but before that he was employed as a member, “of the elite Royal Protection Squad and had access to the Duke of York’s private residence,” according to the Daily Mail.
Page stated that Andrew’s bed had dozens of the stuffed animals, “and maids were given a laminated picture so each bear could carefully be put back in its original position.”
He told the interviewer of Andrew’s bed, “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.”

That’s not all the former security detail officer had to say about the collection of bears. He added, “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.”

The outlet further fleshes out the Prince Andrew Teddy Bear Situation by referring to author Elizabeth Day who got to see the Andrew’s assemblage, “back in 2019 at Buckingham Palace.”
She wrote of the bizarre event, “I was told to wait in a corridor where my only other companion was an oversized teddy bear squashed into a seat. 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.”

She elaborated: “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.”
