Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's grim catchphrase he used to 'humiliate staff'A former member of staff has shared memories of working with Andrew, claiming the royal had a demanding catchphrase and would allegedly 'scream and shout' at household staffView 2 Images Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was arrested last week (Image: AFP via Getty Images)He was reportedly the late Queen's 'favourite' son - yet it seems Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor wasn't particularly cherished by those working within the royal household. ‌A former member of staff has revealed what the ex-prince is genuinely like away from public view, alleging he had a "grim" phrase he'd use with employees that left them feeling "humiliated". ‌Royal insiders - ranging from commentators to ex-staff members - have characterised the disgraced royal as "entitled" in numerous accounts. According to distinguished royal biographer Andrew Lownie, Andrew's mindset was that his staff were "there to serve and not to question his actions", reports the Mirror. Following his removal from Royal Lodge, recent reports indicate Andrew will have considerably fewer staff available at the much smaller Marsh Farm.
