Prince Andrew demanded his water be strictly served at room temperature and that his valet haul around a six-foot ironing board on foreign trips, it has been claimed.
Sources say the Duke was known for being "rude" and having "childish obsessions" - as he was ridiculed while on the road fulfilling royal duties, reports claim.

He immediately warned that Andrew's private life would “willy-nilly, intrude into his public role” – and that he could be “going off with Ghislaine Maxwell to a nightclub” during his private time, it was claimed.
Andrew has effectively been banished from the royal family less than 24 hours after learning a civil sex case against him in New York will go ahead.
