Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson "would be turned away" from the exclusive Annabel's nightclub in Mayfair despite being patrons of the venue for decades, an insider said.
The upmarket club, established by Mark Birley in honour of his wife Lady Annabel Tempest-Vane in the 1960s, is a major draw for celebrities and Andrew held his 30th birthday party there in 1990.
