Ex-Prince Andrew Is ‘One Step Away From Completely Losing It’ Amid Ongoing Royal Fallout

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is rapidly going bonkers in the wake of his royal exile and clinging to his beloved stuffed teddy bears for comfort.

Sources say how the disgraced ex-duke, 65, is cuddling up with his furry friends while continuing to cry the blues about his rotten predicament.

“Andrew has always been obsessive about his collection of teddy bears, but these days it’s crossed the line. The way he’s carrying on about having to move them and how each bear needs to be handled and arranged is completely cuckoo,” a source tells Globe.

“He’s so paranoid that someone is going to try to steal them that he refuses to let anyone touch them unless he trusts them completely.”

As readers know, Andrew’s world imploded after King Charles III finally pulled the rug out from under him and ordered him to leave his luxe digs of Royal Lodge, near Windsor Castle.

Charles also exiled Andy’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, 66, and stripped both of their royal titles.

His Majesty finally snapped after a public outcry over his brother’s friendship with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.  (Andrew has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.)

Globe previously revealed how Andrew has lost the vast majority of his friends in the aftermath, although he’s clinging to everything he can, including his late mother Queen Elizabeth’s pet corgi dogs, whose care was bequeathed to him by Her Majesty.

But lately Andrew’s main attention has been focused on his vast teddy bear collection, which he guards with his life and treats like his BFFs.

“What is even more strange is that Andrew carries on whole conversations with the bears and then will relate what they ‘say’ back to his staff as though the stuffies have given orders,” adds a source.

“He’s completely anthropomorphized them to the point that Andrew’s convinced the move out of Royal Lodge is going to be hard on them because, as he says, it’s their home too.”

“It might sound pathetic, but he is in a genuinely pathetic place and the bears, along with his late mother’s corgis, are the only companions he feels he can rely on.”

“Everyone’s whispering that Andrew is just one step away from completely losing it.”
