Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to Remarry After Revelations of Cuddly Toy Fetish
The Duke of York, Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, are reportedly planning to remarry.
This comes after the latest revelations of Andrew's cuddly toy fetish, which have left him well and truly stuffed in the court of public opinion.
Although he vehemently denies s** abuse allegations against him and still has a chance to defend himself in a US legal action, the Duke's reputation has taken a hit due to the details of his teddy bear collection.
Andrew was married to Fergie for 10 years, from 1986 to 1996, and during that time, he still slept with around a dozen teddy bears on his bed.
Fergie admitted this to royal expert Ingrid Stewart, who noticed the toys while visiting Fergie at Buckingham Palace in 1990 to assist with the biography she was writing.
Ingrid assumed they belonged to the Duchess and were from her childhood.

However, Fergie revealed that they were all Andrew's, which led to laughter between the two.
Former palace maid Charlotte Briggs claimed that Prince Andrew had a huge teddy bear collection, with staff instructed to line them up in size order every day.
According to Charlotte, the Prince had a whopping 72 bears, and staff were given a whole day's worth of training on how they should be arranged on his bed.
The teddies were lined up from biggest to smallest before being arranged at bedtime, with staff spending an hour a day on teddy bear duties.
The Sun claimed that staff were given a diagram which showed how the Prince's bed should be made up, including the placement of teddies.
According to the diagram, Andrew would sleep in the bed with his five favourite soft toys.
Two hippos, a panther, a teddy bear wearing a necklace, and another holding a heart were his favourites.
They each had a set place, with the smaller ones stacked in an unused fireplace, again in size order, to make them look pretty.
His two favourite bears sat on two thrones either side of the bed, while the others would sit at the foot of the bed on the floor.
Charlotte claimed that Andrew frequently lost his temper with the staff, especially if it involved his cuddly toys.
She added that it took her half an hour to arrange them, which she found to be the most bizarre thing to be paid for.
Andrew has previously revealed that he collects teddy bears.
In 2010, he said, “I've always collected teddy bears.
Everywhere I went in the Navy, I used to buy a little teddy bear, so I've got a collection from all over the world of one sort or another.”
Despite the revelations about his teddy bear fetish, Andrew and Fergie are apparently planning to remarry.
The couple now lives together at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, but a suite of rooms was kept for Andrew at the palace for overnight stays.
It is understood that his palace bedroom has been packed up, and his teddy bear collection has been scaled back.
In conclusion, Prince Andrew's teddy bear fetish has caused him embarrassment and ridicule in the court of public opinion.
Despite this, he and Sarah Ferguson are reportedly planning to remarry.
