Jan. 30 2022, Published 12:08 p.m. ET
As allegations against Prince Andrew of mistreatment of his staff continue to mount, a source claims the royal viciously lashed out at a gardener shortly after he was served court papers for his ongoing sex abuse case.
Andrew's tirade was reportedly so "over the top" that he left the gardener "shaken and upset" by the incident.
"Andrew is under a great deal of stress but it’s no reason to take it out on staff doing their job," a royal insider dished to The Sun. "She had nothing to do with the damage and felt it was unfair. After all, it’s only a few saplings."
According to the source, many people witnessed the cruel outburst on the sprawling estate.
"There was a team of gardeners tending the grounds and Andrew spotted a problem with saplings," the insider continued. "He started screaming and shouting, ‘What have you done?’ The gardener was very upset and shaken."

"She has always been considered conscientious and hard-working. Andrew was over the top." The insider added, "You just don’t talk to people like that no matter who you are."
This is far from the first time Andrew has been called out by staff for his nasty temper. One of his maids claimed he would "shout and scream" at her if his teddy bear collection was not lined up perfectly.
Though she had previously signed an NDA during her time working for Andrew, years later, she finally decided to break her silence. "I don't give a toss what Prince Andrew feels," she said per DailyMail, adding, "he is a horrible, nasty man."
As OK! previously reported, the prince was served with papers in late August last year after Virginia Giuffre filed a civil suit against the royal in the state of New York.
Giuffre claimed she had been forced to have sex with Prince Andrew several times when she was 17-years-old, both in London at Ghislaine Maxwell's home, and at Jeffery Epstein's homes in Manhattan and the US Virgin Islands.
Andrew has fiercely denied all allegations against him.
