Prince Andrew sketched out a plan for how his five teddies and cuddly toys should be positioned on his bed every night, it has been claimed.
The Duke of York, 61, would “scream and shout” if his servants failed to place them exactly how he wanted at Buckingham Palace, ex protection officer Paul Page tells ITV ’s Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile.
A handwritten guide is said to have included two hippos, a black panther and bears, as well as three cushions called 'Daddy', 'Ducks' and 'Prince'.
It showed exactly where to place blankets, as well as five toys and a fur, which had ribbons that had to hang off the side of the bed.
The instructions were laminated and titled “DOY bed: Points for turn down & making the bed”, with Andrew keeping the accompanying sketch close to his bed while staying at the Palace.
Staff wrote: “When the DOY is staying overnight, place one small teddy & cushion in the turn down.
“When making the bed, place the teddy & cushion next to the teddy on the left- hand side with the necklaces on.”
Underneath in capital letters, it stressed: “Do not loose (sic) the teddy & cushion!!”
The sketch showed a teddy holding a heart had to be put on the left of the headboard and a grey hippo on the right, while the panther was halfway down.
A second hippo was to be put on a green throw at the end of the bed.
A source told The Sun: “It’s hilarious a Prince of England would want his teddies on his bed. You can imagine him crying, ‘Mummy, they haven’t put the hippos on my bed!’ to the Queen if anyone got it wrong.
"Maybe they were presents from his daughters or Fergie, but it’s still strange.”
Page worked in Royalty and Specialist Protection Command between 1998 and 2004 and had access to the prince's private quarters.
In this apartment, the Duke had a bed piled high with stuffed animals and toys, Page claims.
He 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.
“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.”
That's just upper management type shit right there, that man is going places.
