An international arrest warrant has been issued for Princess Anne’s Swedish chef after he was convicted of threatening to cut off a female groom’s nipples with a pair of pincers.
Steffan Sjolander was employed at the Princess Royal’s Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire where he became notorious for his heavy drinking and vodka-fuelled rages.
He was sacked after the incident in the royal stables, involving Amy Tyrrell. Witnesses including Ms Tyrrell told magistrates in Gloucester how he brandished a pair of long-handled pincers used to remove nails from horses’ hooves and said: “I cut your f***ing nipples off.”
Later he threatened her with a pair of scissors when she refused to stitch up a gash in one of his fingers.
Ms Tyrrell was in the Gatcombe Park stables last October with Graham Cummings, a gamekeeper, and Zara Phillips’s groom, Rachel Allardyce, when Sjolander confronted her. She said: “He had a pair of pincers in his hand and he was moving them towards me and he was telling me he was going to remove my f***ing nipples in his horrible manner.”
Sjolander was found guilty of affray, common assault and threatening behaviour in his absence. Teresa Perry, prosecuting, said that Sjolander had told his solicitor that he was back in Sweden and would not be attending.
