Before Prince Andrew was exposed as having connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the youngest son of the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip was already known for being controversial – with numerous UK media reports referring to him as the “party prince” over the years.

He has been linked to a string of women during his time in the public eye. One sensationalist revelation from a “long-time friend” in British tabloids even suggested the Duke of York had slept with “way over a thousand” women.

Here are some of the women he’s believed to have dated in his lifetime.

According to Town & Country, Stark, who was understudying for a production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf at the National Theatre in London, met Andrew in the early 1980s via mutual friends.

They reportedly started dating not long after meeting, and Stark would spend time at Buckingham Palace and Balmoral. The pair split after 18 months together, according to the magazine.

2. Sarah Ferguson

The prince and Sarah Ferguson’s connection dates back to when they were just three years old, according to their parents, as “Fergie” and Andrew’s fathers used to play polo together, per The Washington Post. According to People, Fergie’s best friend Princess Diana was the one who later set them up.

The former royal couple were married from 1986 to 1996, and share two children: Beatrice and Eugenie.

3. Lady Victoria Hervey

As previously reported, former “party” girl and British aristocrat Lady Victoria Hervey dated Prince Andrew in 1999, and spoke candidly to the British press about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell being a “double act”.

“Models got taken advantage of all the time,” she said of her socialite days, according to Yahoo! Movies. “We were just sort of a pretty face to have and entertain people. I was definitely one of the luckier ones and I’m aware of that.”

4. Caroline Stanbury

Ladies of London and The Real Housewives of Dubai’s Caroline Stanbury reportedly had a thing with the disgraced royal in 2000. According to News Australia, he once took her to Martha’s Vineyard with then-president Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton.

Also in 2000, Andrew met Denise Martell, a former Playboy model and actress, per News Australia. She told British media, “He gave [his] mobile number to me on the first night after I’d only known him a few hours. There was never any security there. I was very surprised. I was shocked. The President would never have been left alone like that. I was worried for him.”

7. Amanda Staveley

News Australia also reports that Andrew was smitten when he met British businesswoman Amanda Staveley in 2001. It apparently got so serious that there were rumours he might’ve popped the question during their time together, per the source. “Andrew’s a lovely man and I still care for him a great deal,” she told the British press in 2008. “But if I’d married him, my independence would have disappeared.”

8. Angie Everhart

 

The Express reports that the prince met another woman in 2003, this time a Sports Illustrated model by the name of Angie Everhart. Giving an interview to British media in 2009, Everhart said she first met the prince via her former father-in-law George Hamilton.

“George and I had remained on good terms after my divorce and when [he] called to ask if I’d like to go for dinner with a prince, of course I said yes,” she said. “George told me, ‘He likes redheads and he has a wish list of girls he’d like to meet while he’s in town – and you’re on it.’”

One well publicised photo of the pair together shows the prince ferrying Everhart around in his Aston Martin circa 2008.

9. Ghislaine Maxwell?

While Andrew and Epstein’s accomplice Maxwell have often been referred to as friends, there’s also been speculation that the two had a potential romance. Former royal protection officer Paul Page alleged that Andrew and Maxwell had an intimate relationship – at times.

“From the way she was allowed to enter and exit the palace at will, we realised – suspected – that she may have had an intimate relationship with Prince Andrew,” Page told the documentary Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile. “A colleague of mine remembered her coming in four times in one day. She kept coming in and out, in and out.”
