The scandal-plagued former royal once known as Prince Andrew has reportedly sunk to a bizarre new low — holding full-blown conversations with his beloved collection of teddy bears, insiders tell RadarOnline.com.
According to palace sources, Andrew Windsor, 65, has been spotted chatting with his hundreds of plush companions as if they were living friends, even insisting they’ll “struggle” with being moved from their longtime home at the Royal Lodge.
“He treats the bears like they’re his roommates,” one insider dished. “He says the move will be hard on them — as if they have feelings. It’s honestly heartbreaking and strange all at once.”
With ex-wife Sarah Ferguson retreating to the bar on the property—cheekily dubbed The Dog House—Andrew is said to spend most of his days pacing the mansion’s empty halls or talking to the toys that once filled his childhood bedroom.
“Staff say he throws tantrums if they’re moved or touched,” the source added. “He talks to them as though they give him advice. It’s gotten weird, and everyone’s worried he’s lost touch with reality.”
Once the Queen’s favorite son, Andrew’s life has crumbled in the wake of his connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. His royal titles, public duties, and even his $40 million home are gone — all taken under King Charles’ quiet but firm order.
Insiders say Andrew’s bizarre behavior is just the latest sign of a man spiraling. “He’s alone, stripped of everything that defined him,” another palace contact said. “The bears and his mother’s corgis are literally all he trusts.”
Sources blame years of indulgence under the late Queen for Andrew’s childlike mindset. “He was babied his whole life,” said a former royal aide. “Now he’s in his sixties, still acting like a boy who never grew up.”
King Charles, 77, reportedly reached his breaking point earlier this year, evicting Andrew and Fergie from Royal Lodge as part of a sweeping royal cost-cutting effort. But friends say Andrew hasn’t accepted reality.
“As sad as it sounds, he spends hours talking to those bears,” a source sighed. “They’re the only ones left who’ll listen.”
