The habits of Prince Andrew were deposited bare by a royal source.
The Duke Diffamé d’York, who lives in the Royal Lodge, likes to play a strange game with his staff.
A palace source said to the mail: “When he lived in Buck House, he would also hide his toy monkey in improbable places to test if the cleaning staff would locate him … woe to the steps if they did not do it.”
They added that Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson was not used to it.
They said: “The Royal Lodge staff must still play the game of Prince Andrew – unless Sarah resides. She takes a weak view.”
This occurs when the Duke was recently spotted during a walk in the middle of the new shocking book.
The expert in body language Judi James noted: “His mouth is closed but his lips are not tight, and his shoulders seem relatively relaxed. A photo like this may not capture his current mood in his entirety, but that could refer to a more philosophical and less provocative approach.”
