“THE ROYAL STAFF HATE PRINCE ANDREW: THE SECRET TESTIMONIES EXPOSED BY PAUL PAGE”

For decades, the British Royal Family has perfected the art of silence—polished smiles, crisp uniforms, and carefully scripted appearances. But behind the velvet curtains and gilded walls, a very different truth simmered. And according to former royal protection officer Paul Page, the staff at Buckingham Palace weren’t just irritated by Prince Andrew—they hated him.

Not disliked.
Not avoided.
Hated.

Now, for the first time, the stories whispered in palace corridors are being exposed—stories that paint Prince Andrew not as a misunderstood royal… but as the most despised man in the monarchy.

And according to multiple staff members who served him for decades, the resentment wasn’t born out of one bad moment—it was years of arrogance, entitlement, tantrums, and a shocking lack of basic human decency.

Buckingham Palace may never recover from this.

“HE ABSOLUTELY HATED HIM”: THE VALET WHO BROKE HIS SILENCE

When Paul Page—a former officer in the Royal Protection Command—first heard the truth from Prince Andrew’s personal valet, even he was stunned.

This valet wasn’t a temporary hire or a low-level staffer.
He wasn’t a disgruntled newcomer.

This man had served Prince Andrew for 20 to 30 years. He lived in an apartment connected directly to the prince’s own suite. He packed Andrew’s clothes, handled his personal items, and stayed by his side through royal tours and private travels.

If anyone knew the Duke of York intimately, it was him.

And according to Page, the valet didn’t just dislike Andrew.

“He absolutely hated him.”

Not mild frustration.
Not workplace tension.
Hate.

And the stories that followed explain why.

THE 2 A.M. DOG-WALKING ORDER THAT BROKE THE STAFF

One of the most shocking tales involved Prince Andrew’s beloved dog—a Jack Russell terrier named Bendix.

The dog may have been cute, but Andrew’s behavior around it was anything but.

According to Page, whenever Bendix woke up at night—which was often—Andrew would press a special bell, or call through a private line, ordering his valet to get out of bed, come into his room, and take the dog out for a walk.

Not at 10 p.m.
Not at midnight.

At 2, sometimes 3 in the morning.

Paul Page recalled seeing the exhausted valet wandering the palace grounds in the middle of the night, cigarette in hand, the tiny terrier trotting ahead while the man muttered darkly about his employer.

One night, Page asked him gently, “Are you all right?”

The valet looked at him and said the words Page can never forget:

“I hate him. I hope he goes skiing next week and just skis off a cliff.”

This wasn’t said by an enemy.
Not by a tabloid journalist.
Not by a Republican activist.

But by the man who served Prince Andrew more closely than anyone else.

That level of hatred doesn’t happen overnight.
It grows—fed by years of mistreatment.

“HE NEVER GREW UP”: THE CHILD PRINCE IN A MAN’S BODY

Staff members repeatedly described Andrew with the same phrase:

“He never grew up.”

His infamous teddy bear collection wasn’t a harmless quirk—it was a symbol of a man trapped in emotional childhood. According to insiders, Prince Andrew treated palace employees like servants in the most literal, degrading sense.

He barked orders.
He lashed out when things weren’t perfect.
He expected immediate obedience—even when the request was absurd.

One staffer once said:

“If Prince Philip had shoved a bar of soap in his mouth the first time he told a servant to f* off, maybe things would be different.”**

Paul Page agrees.

Andrew’s behavior wasn’t accidental.
It wasn’t unintentional.
It was allowed.

And Page puts the blame squarely on the monarchy itself.

THE QUEEN’S FAVORITE — AND THE DANGER THAT CREATED

According to Page, Prince Andrew was unmistakably the Queen’s favorite child.

Staff saw it.
Senior aides whispered it.
Even other royals acknowledged it.

Andrew got away with what no one else could.

Page put it bluntly:

“He was allowed to get away with absolute murder.”

He stuck out like a sore thumb not because he was special… but because he refused to follow the rules the others lived by.

While Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and even Charles operated within the rigid system of royal discipline, Andrew pushed boundaries, broke norms, and acted like the monarchy was his personal kingdom.

And because staff members were deeply loyal—not to Andrew, but to the monarchy—they tolerated behavior no normal employer could justify.

In the palace hierarchy, the staff were at the bottom.
They couldn’t challenge Andrew.
They couldn’t correct him.
They couldn’t even complain safely.

He was a senior royal—and that meant untouchable.

The more he exploited that power, the more resentment festered.

THE STAFF HIERARCHY: A ROYAL CLASS SYSTEM WITHIN A CLASS SYSTEM

Even palace staff are divided by rank.

According to Page, there are three separate staff canteens inside the palace:

1. The Top Tier — Senior Household Officials

These are the private secretaries, the Lord Chamberlain, retired colonels, and military advisors who form the “rib cage” around the royal family.
They enjoy silver service, fancy menus, and French cuisine.

2. The Middle Tier — Office Staff

The secretaries, assistants, and administrative personnel who support various royal offices.
Basic cafeteria-style food.

3. The Bottom Tier — Maids and Footmen

Their facilities?
A microwave.
A kettle.
That’s it.

This rigid hierarchy breeds tension, resentment, and elitism.

And Andrew treated everyone below him — which was everyone — as disposable.

THE PROTECTION OFFICERS: “WE ARE STAFF, NOT FRIENDS”

One of the biggest misconceptions, according to Page, is that protection officers become close to the royals.

They don’t.

They can laugh with them, chat with them, even share outgoing moments — but they are NOT friends.

Their job is protection, not camaraderie.

Page put it simply:

“We are staff. We’re not personal friends. We don’t socialize.”

So when the public later wondered whether protection officers “knew” about Andrew’s alleged behavior on Epstein Island, Page clarified:

They didn’t know because they weren’t part of his private sphere.
Andrew never allowed them into the places where real secrets lived.
He only expected obedience — nothing more.

THE LARGER PATTERN: ENTITLEMENT WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE

The stories Page revealed are not isolated.

They represent a pattern of:

abuse of staff
unreasonable demands
emotional manipulation
elitism pushed to extremes
protection by palace silence
total lack of accountability

Add to that the years of scandal surrounding Andrew — scandals involving Jeffrey Epstein that nearly destroyed the monarchy’s reputation — and the staff’s hatred becomes clearer.

It wasn’t the scandals alone.
It wasn’t one fight or one moment.

It was everything.
Years of disrespect.
Years of arrogance.
Years of taking loyalty for granted.

And now, thanks to Paul Page, the palace walls can no longer hide it.

“WHO WOULD TAKE HIM TO TASK? NO ONE.”

This final quote may be the most damning of all:

“Who’s going to take Prince Andrew to task? No one. Because they’re loyal to the monarchy.”

Not loyal to Andrew.
Loyal to the crown.

The staff didn’t hate the monarchy.
They hated the man who abused the power given by it.

THE SILENCE IS BROKEN — AND IT WON’T BE PUT BACK

Paul Page’s revelations have cracked open a truth Buckingham Palace desperately wanted to bury.

Prince Andrew was not disliked.
He was not misunderstood.
He was not merely flawed.

He was feared, resented, and despised by the very staff who served him.

And now, after years of scandal, disgrace, and public exile, the truth adds another layer to a royal portrait already drenched in controversy.

Prince Andrew wasn’t just the monarchy’s problem.

He was the staff’s nightmare.

And now, finally, the world knows why.
