It was so peculiar."She added: "But he absolutely loved the ­teddies and was very clear about how he wanted them arranged."The former maid explained larger teddies were put at the back while the smaller were put in descending order of size at the front.She added that the Duke allegedly had two favourite teddies who sat on mahogany thrones at his bedside.However, the weird requirements don't stop there as it was revealed there was even a handwritten guide laid out that explained how to arrange the toys and other items in the room which was shared in an ITV documentary about Andrew.According to former royal protection officer Paul Page, the guide is said to have included two toy hippos, a black panther and bears, as well as three cushions called 'Daddy', 'Ducks' and 'Prince'.The
