Prince Andrew’s Bullying Allegations: Insights from Royal Servants

A new book, Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants by Royal expert Tom Quinn, provides a glimpse into the private behaviors of Prince Andrew, revealing disturbing accounts of bullying and micromanagement from former royal employees.

Staff Removal Incident

One incident detailed in the book highlights The Duke of York’s capricious management style. The book claims Andrew ordered the removal of a staff member because the individual wore a nylon tie. This harsh decision showcases a pattern of Andrew’s oversensitivity to minor details.

Displeasure and Micromanagement

The accounts paint a picture of a demanding employer. Staff members recall that Andrew was quick to take umbrage at anything that did not meet his exacting standards. Royal servant testimonials suggest that if Andrew did not like a staff member, he would find any reason to dismiss them, even trivial ones.
