Andrew Mountbatten Windsor at peculiar needs during overseas strip.

The ex Duke of York, who has been exiled from the Royal Lodge earlier this year, is outed by a former ambassador who has spoken about his demands during trip abroad.

Simon Wilson, who was a deputy ambassador to Bahrain from 2001 to 2005

reveals: “And there was this chap called the valet who was carrying a six-foot ironing board which we were unaware of until it arrived.

“And then the ironing board got stuck in the revolving door of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Bahrain — this five-star hotel.

“And I’d say to the valet, ‘Why on earth are you bringing this ironing board — is this normal?’ And he’d say, ‘Yes, I carry it everywhere because I’m the only person that knows how to iron his Royal Highnesses’ trousers.’

“I said, ‘It’s absolutely insane — this is one of the best hotels in the Gulf.’

“And this was the start we had before we’d even started the visit “ he noted.
