A former maid at Buckingham Palace has spoken out about working for Prince Andrew, calling the Duke of York 'demanding and entitled'.
Charlotte Briggs claimed on Thursday that she was 'left in tears' by Andrew's foul-mouth rants, and on one occasion faced his wrath over a tiny gap in his curtains.
Speaking to The Sun, Ms Briggs said the prince yelled at her: 'Can't you f***ing do anything right?' as she ran up and down the stairs to fix the curtains, some of which he was sitting a matter of yards away from.
'This man fought for his country in the Falklands but couldn't stand up to close his own curtains,' the 47-year-old mother of two told the newspaper.
'It was utterly ridiculous but spoke volumes about him,' she added.
By comparison, Ms Briggs said that the Duke's brothers Charles and Edward, as well as other royals she encountered during her time at the palace, were 'wonderful'.

This gossip or reality will probably become common as his royal Halo is no longer protecting him.
In the UK.. closing curtains may well be a unionized, skilled trade.
As “managent” he may have been “crossing lines” doing it.
Well dash it all, the kings are human!
Yeah, but did he bite her lip?
A man whose job it is to....well, whatever it is he does...can’t be expected to close his own curtains. I am no fans of royals in general and it’s going to be a pleasure to see this one crash hard.
He sounds like a typical liberal.
That's the stuff they edited out of Downton Abbey.
>>>Yeah, but did he bite her lip?<<<
And if so, did he at least tell her to put some ice on it?
I heard some radio show where a guy in the bath fitting industry gave Trump a gold plated showerhead.
he said that Trump sent him a nice thank you letter.
Isn’t that what they’re paid to do?
Tough stuff. Isn’t that her job? She is whinging about having to do her job. She was hired to do “maid” work, i.e. keeping the house in order. That includes, imo, opening or closing curtains. An employer not only hires people to do things that the employer is to busy or incapable of doing, it is also legitimate to hire people to do things you don’t want to do.
I don’t think much of Andrew, but this time, I am on his side.
Prince of a guy.
Wasn’t Obama loved dearly by leftists for putting up window treatments?
When is someone in the press going to start calling him the “Dick of York”?
Big deal
My girlfriend asks me to get her a Diet Coke while she is standing next to fridge and I’m in the living room....
She does it all the time...
Awww.
You want a monarchy, you live with the monarchy.
Tourists are money!
Take his fake title and end the idiocy of calling his inbred clan royalty.
The maid is lucky he cant order her into a dungeon or chop her head off. Royalty used to get to do that on a whim or trumped up flimsy charges. Flimsy or whimsy, off with her head.
