Koo’s romance with Andrew "has ended’
NZPA London Friends of the actress. Koo Stark, said yesterday that she knows she will not see Prince Andrew again, according to the “Daily Mail" newspaper.
Miss Stark, aged 25, was said to be deeply upset that her romance was over, the paper added in its front page story. Miss Stark recently holidayed with Prince Andrew and a number of other people on the Caribbean island of Mustique. The Prince, a helicopter pilot with Britain's Royal Navy, is now back with his squadron.
The “Mail” said that the American-born Miss Stark went to the United States when Prince Andrew ended his holiday in Mustique and slipped back into Britain a few days ago. The newspaper said that she had left the London home of friends where she had been staying, and was driven away on the back of a
motor-cycle by another girl. 1 The “Mail" quoted Miss Stark's. agent, Michele Fox, as saying: “Koo is very, very hurt. A broken romance is bad enough anyway, but a broken romance under the public eye is even worse. She is in a very delicate state of mind. She does not want to say anything at all.”
Prince Andrew has said that the letters he wrote to Miss Stark were “in safe hands” and denies the existence of a home movie of them together. Buckingham Palace had checked with the Prince, aged 22, after press reports that the letters and film were missing from Miss Stark’s London apartment.
“We have checked with the originator of the letters and he says that they are safe — there is nothing missing," said a Palace deputy press secretary, Victor Chapman. “The Prince has also assured us that no film was ever made of him and Koo Stark."
