Prince Andrew is alleged to have laughed when one of his staff members was bitten by his dog. Only days after reports emerged alleging that Prince Andrew was 'verbally abusive' to maids over his teddy bear collection.
According to Charlotte Briggs, the maid in question, the incident happened back in 1996 when, aged-22, she worked for the royal family. Charlotte says the dog attacked her owing to being 'spooked' by the vacuum cleaner.
Speaking to The Sun about what happened she said, “My leg was bleeding and my tights ripped.”
After it happened the nine-year-old Norfolk terrier, named Bendicks after the Duchess of York's favorite chocolates, was banned from Buckingham Palace.
Bendicks wasn't the only one left out in the cold. On top of being sent to Prince Andrew's personal doctor in order to get a tetanus shot, a butler told Charlotte that, "they just laughed."
“He wasn’t bothered," she said. "Even when I was limping and my leg was purple he never apologized. It’s those little things that tell a lot about people and their character."
