Charlotte Briggs, a former Buckingham Palace servant, claimed that the Duke of York, Prince Andrew, was “entitled,” spoiled, and downright rude to palace staff. She revealed many details about what Prince Charles’ brother was like behind closed doors. In 1996, when Briggs became Andrew’s personal maid, she learned just how unpleasant time around the royal could be. One “creepy” anecdote she shared with The Sun highlighted that he inexplicably kept ex-wife Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson’s wedding dress in his closet.
The Duke and Duchess of York were married in 1986 and divorced in 1992, but in her exclusive interview, Briggs said, “Her clothes were there. So too were her shoes — and even her wedding dress was still hung up in the wardrobe. It was creepy. It was all laid as if she was there.” Briggs added, “I couldn’t understand why I was cleaning around it all when she wasn’t going to be coming back … I polished the dressing table every day but I never saw her.”
Briggs also told the outlet that all of Fergie’s makeup, like her powders and mascaras, were also still strewn about the dressing table, and she had to dust underneath and around them, so as not to disturb them from their place. *cue “Twilight Zone” theme music* According to a separate piece from The Sun, Briggs added that Andrew “was a bad apple and behaved like a spoiled brat.”
