PRINCE Andrew kept Fergie’s wedding dress in his wardrobe at Buckingham Palace after they divorced — and laid her make-up out on a dressing table, former maid Charlotte Briggs has claimed.
The royal couple married at Westminster Abbey in July 1986 but separated in 1992.
The split came amid scandals involving Fergie — including the infamous snaps of her “financial adviser” sucking her toes.
They finally divorced in May 1996.
But ex-royal maid Charlotte says he still held a torch for her after moving back in with his mum at Buckingham Palace.
She told HOAR: “Although she didn’t live there, her make-up was still laid out on a dressing table.
“I used to have to pick up all these eyeliners, mascaras and powders, dust underneath them and lay them back out every single day.
“But she was never there. She didn’t live there and she certainly wasn’t welcome back after what she’d been up to.
“Her clothes were there, so too were her shoes — and even her wedding dress was still hung up in the wardrobe. It was creepy.
“It was all laid as if she was there. I couldn’t understand why I was cleaning around it all when she wasn’t going to be coming back.
“He’d moved back home and she wasn’t welcome.
“I polished the dressing table every day but I never saw her.”
Fergie’s wedding dress of ivory silk had a 17ft train and 20ft long veil. She later said she shed 26lbs to get into it.
And designer Lindka Cierach revealed she had to veto some of the bride’s bizarre dress requests, including decorative teddy bears, lovebirds and helicopters.
But she and Andrew did get their own way as they headed off on honeymoon.
Pictures of them in their carriage showed a giant teddy bear sat opposite them.
