Summary at a Glance

The book, which details accounts from royal servants over the years, told how Andrew was 'bossy' and tended to 'act like a classic school bully' with staff - widely assumed to be down to frustrations he would never become king.

In the Amazon Prime series A Very Royal Scandal, Michael Sheen (right) plays a pompous Andrew whose first scene sees him storming through the corridors of the palace, barking at a footman to 'f*** off'.

Although a former maid at Kensington Palace refused to name the prince in question, she said he would shout the naval order, 'Clear the decks', indicating that she had to 'scurry out of the room and make sure no staff were loitering between the prince and the lavatory he was planning to visit'.

They added: 'Some members of his staff, I won’t say a majority, privately thought he was the classic school bully – just the sort of person who used to bully his brother Charles at Gordonstoun [Charles’s school].'.

An ex-staff member explained: 'A bit like his aunt Margaret, Andrew always behaved as if he was frustrated about not being the first-born and therefore destined to become king'.
