Queen diffused Andrew and Charles’ ‘bizarre standoff’ over bathrooms

Princes Andrew and Charles as soon as battled over the throne – in a rest room — and the royal row bought so heated the Queen needed to intervene.

The squabble unfolded Christmastime 1999 at Sandringham Property, northeast of London, when Youthful brother Andrew, then 39, refused to take away his toiletries from a rest room earmarked for Prince Charles, 51, The Solar reported.

“We had been informed to not transfer something and to not contact something in that rest room as a result of there was an ‘ongoing state of affairs,’” Janette McGowan, then a Buckingham Palace maid who traveled with the royal household, informed the outlet.

“When members of the Royal Household journey to Sandringham they're every allotted rooms and a rest room.

“However Prince Andrew took the lavatory that was allotted for the Prince of Wales and he wouldn’t budge and refused to take his stuff out of it. It changed into a weird stand-off.”

It took the queen to “defuse the state of affairs,” McGowan mentioned.

“She truly needed to have phrases with Andrew and say to him that he had to make use of the opposite toilet and that was when he lastly backed down.

“He was virtually 40 on the time. It was very odd conduct for somebody of that age,” she continued.
