Quarrels between siblings also occur in adulthood.

Prince Andrew and Prince Charles provide particularly bizarre evidence of this.

Sandringham - The latest revelations about Prince Andrew, 61, are likely to stir the palace up again.

A former member of the royal family is speaking out after years of silence.

As reported by 24royal.de, their descriptions do not make the Duke of York look good.

Queen had to intervene: 'Bizarre argument' between Andrew and Charles

Janette McGown may have seen a lot during her time as a maid for the British royal family, but one incident sticks in her memory to this day.

In an interview with "The Sun" she describes a "bizarre argument" between Prince Andrew (61) and Prince Charles (73) that is said to have occurred at Christmas 1999.

As every year, the Royal Family traveled to Norfolk to spend the holidays at Sandringham House, the country home of Queen Elizabeth II (95).

According to McGown, the two brothers clashed shortly after arrival.

Apparently, Andrew did not stick to the room allocation and occupied Charles's bathroom.

The then 39-year-old is said to have vehemently refused to change the bathroom.

Queen Elizabeth II is said to have finally resolved the conflict between her sons: "The Queen herself ultimately had to intervene to defuse the situation.

She actually had to talk to Andrew and tell him to use the other bathroom and then he finally gave in.

[…] I think it was very stubborn.

As far as his own rights go, he [Andrew] is very spoiled.”

Queen had to intervene: Palace employees unpack

Janette McGowan isn't the only ex-employee to denounce the Duke of York's behavior.

Prince Andrew, who is currently making headlines thanks to his disqualification from his title and a looming abuse trial, is also being cast in a bad light by former royal constable Paul Page.

In a TV documentary, Page claims the father-of-two "roared and screamed" when the maids didn't arrange his teddy bears in the correct order.
