Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, had a tumultuous relationship with actress Koo Stark before marrying Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, according to an interview from 1986.

The affair was controversial not only because Andrew was already engaged to Ferguson, but also because Stark had a history of appearing in risqué films.

The couple first met on a blind date in 1982, after Andrew returned from serving in the Falklands War.

The British press eventually discovered that the pair had been on holiday together in the Caribbean, and that Stark had starred in several x rated films.

One of these films, Emily, included a now-infamous “n-k-d lesbin shower scene” that sparked disapproval from the royal family.

As a result of the media attention, Andrew was forced to end the relationship with Stark in 1983.

In an interview five years later, Stark spoke about the intense pressure and scrutiny she faced during the affair, saying it had been “a nightmare.”

After their split, Andrew went on to date a number of other women, including Katie Rabbit and Carolyn Herbert.

He eventually married Ferguson in 1986 at Westminster Abbey, with the approval of the royal family.

It is rumored that Princess Diana, the wife of Prince Charles, played a role in persuading the royal family to accept Ferguson as a suitable match for Andrew.

The Duke and Duchess of York’s marriage was not without its difficulties, however. In 1992, they announced their separation after spending a significant amount of time apart due to Andrew’s royal duties.

The following year, photographs emerged of Ferguson being kissed and embraced by her financial advisor, John Bryan, who was also seen sucking her toes.

The scandal was highly publicized, and the couple officially divorced in 1996.

Despite their divorce, Ferguson and Andrew remain close friends and even continue to share a residence. They have two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Eugenie recently married her long-time boyfriend, Jack Brooksbank, recently.

As for Stark, she has continued to work as a successful photographer. In 2002, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy.

She was rumored to be appearing on the reality TV show “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” in both 2007 and 2017, but these rumors turned out to be false. It is unclear what she is currently working on.
