Construction workers near Prince Andrew's estate faced his wrath as he verbally lashed out at them
In a series of recent developments, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, has found himself embroiled in a fresh wave of controversy. The latest incidents involve escalating conflicts with workers near his Windsor residence, primarily concerning the installation of speed bumps in Windsor Great Park.
According to a recent report linked to a new tell-all book by author Lownie, Prince Andrew was upset by the speed bumps forcing him to slow down near the Royal Lodge. An alleged outburst was reported, with the prince shouting, "What the f--- are you doing now?" This incident is said to be part of a pattern of rude and bullying behavior towards staff, as detailed in the book, which portrays Andrew as arrogant and often cruel to workers.
These latest incidents come after Prince Andrew stepped down from his royal duties in November 2019 and has not participated in any official royal engagements since then. His residence, the Royal Lodge, needs extensive renovations and repairs, costing around £400,000 per year.
Despite these ongoing issues, King Charles III, the Ranger of Windsor Great Park, has not been involved in the public pressure for Prince Andrew to give up his titles. A survey conducted by ntv.de and gut/spot revealed that two-thirds of Britons want Prince Andrew to lose both his dukedom and his prince title.
Prince Andrew's financial situation has also been a topic of discussion, with reports indicating that he has no regular income. The survey results, however, do not address this aspect.
It's important to note that these latest developments do not address the ongoing civil lawsuit from Virginia Giuffre, a matter that continues to cast a long shadow over Prince Andrew's reputation.
In the past, Prince Andrew has been reported to have lost his temper with employees, including shouting at a gardener and his former housekeeper. The survey results do not address these previous incidents.
Prince Andrew is no longer referred to as "His Royal Highness." Despite this, he continues to reside in the Royal Lodge in Windsor. The speed hump in question is reportedly on Prince Andrew's route, causing him distress due to his preference for fast driving.
These latest incidents serve as a reminder of the challenges Prince Andrew faces in managing his public image and his role within the royal family. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how these conflicts will impact his future at the Royal Lodge and his standing within the British monarchy.
