According to Charlotte Briggs, Andrew’s large collection of teddy bears is preparing to move into a new home.

She told the Sun: "As soon as I got the job, I was told about the teddies, and it was drilled into me how he wanted them. I even had a day's training. Everything had to be just right. It was so peculiar."

Meanwhile, expert Rob Shuter says nothing has chance for Andrew post exile.

He said: "Your Royal Highness" (HRH) and demanded bows or curtsies - despite having lost his royal titles.

A household insider said: "The butler still says Your Royal Highness, and the staff still bow. Andrew's made it clear — palace rules don't apply inside his walls. He insists it's his birthright — not something the King can erase."

Meanwhile, expert Andrew Lownie, quotes Queen Mother 's former equerries , Colin Burgess, adding: "I saw Andrew about once a month, when he came to visit Clarence House, and he would talk to the staff, including me, as an officer talks to his subordinates. He would say things such as: 'I want this done and I want it done now,' or 'Have that done by such and such a time.' I remember him always saying 'Do it!' which was his catchphrase of sorts."
