Prince Andrew called a palace staffer working in the Royal Household a “f–king imbecile” for not referring to the late Queen Mother by her full title, according to a new e-book.
The Duke of York, 65, may be “unbelievably cruel” to staffers behind closed doorways, according to an excerpt of veteran royal biographer Andrew Lownie’s new e-book, obtained by the Daily Mail.
In his newest biography, “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” Lownie detailed one such event involving the scandal-scarred prince — who has lately gained his yearslong combat to keep at the Royal Lodge.

Following a extreme storm that ravaged through Northern Ireland in 2005, Andrew had requested the pinnacle of Hillsborough Castle, David Anderson, if there had been any vital harm to the building.
“Yes, sir,” Anderson responded, per Lownie’s e-book. “The tree which was planted by the Queen Mother.” This was adopted by a withering silence, then Andrew stated in a mocking voice, “Did you mean Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother?”
“He then asked the poor man how long he had worked for the royal family. Mr Anderson replied, ‘I joined in 1984, sir,’” the e-book claims.
“And you still don’t know the proper way to refer to my grandmother? You f–king imbecile. Get out,” Prince Andrew is claimed to have stated.
The Post has reached out to the duke’s reps and Buckingham Palace for remark.

Lownie additional claimed that the duke’s catchphrase for royal staff was, “I want this done and I want this done now. Do it!”
Elsewhere in the e-book, Lownie claims that Andrew’s relationship with his youthful nephews, William and Harry, was “problematic.”

In one excerpt revealed by the Daily Mail, Lownie claimed that Prince Harry had bodily confronted his uncle over alleged feedback about his spouse, Meghan Markle.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, was stated to have left the disgraced Duke of York with a “bloody nose” following a “heated argument” more than a decade in the past, according to an excerpt obtained by the Daily Mail.
Lownie, who wrote the e-book about Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, claimed that Harry misplaced his cool after his uncle uttered a remark about the “Suits” alum, 44, “behind Harry’s back.”
The royal creator alleged that Andrew had called the previous actress an “opportunist.”

Harry has since firmly shut down the claims, saying they’re “gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks.”
“I can confirm Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make the comments he is alleged to have made about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry,” the Invictus Games founder’s rep informed The Post of the alleged altercation.
