Prince Andrew, 64, is known to have been very meticulous over his teddy bear collection in real life.

Charlotte Briggs, who claims to have worked as a maid at Buckingham Palace in the 1990s, told The Sun that one of her daily tasks was to strategically place Andrew’s 72 stuffed animals around his room.

She said: “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.”

She added that the bears were collected from all over the world and many were dressed up like sailors.

Briggs also claimed that Andrew’s two favourite teddy bears were always placed in mahogany thrones by his bedside.
