Rumours are doing the rounds in Britain that Prince Andrew, the Queen's second son, is dating a 25-year-old bikini model who is just three years older than his eldest daughter.
The 50-year-old Duke of York and Alexandra Escat were on Saturday spotted boarding a private jet and flying out of the Olbia Airport in Sardinia where they spent last week in each other's company on board a yacht, the Daily Mail reported.
Though friends of Prince Andrew have insisted that Escat was "not a new love item", the report said that the pair enjoyed spending time together and were pictured engrossed in each other's company on board the superyacht.
The brunette, whose exotic looks are a legacy of her Spanish father and Filipina mother, grinned and chatted with the fourth in line to the throne, rubbing sun cream into his back

In fact, they were on board the luxury 154ft yacht Yalla, owned by a millionaire friend of the Prince, believed to be an Egyptian.
During the trip, Miss Escat, wearing hotpants, laughed as the bare-chested prince kissed her hand. Later, she chatted to Andrew again at the exclusive Hotel Cala di Volpe in the resort of Port Cervo, where guests have included Janet Jackson and England footballer Peter Crouch, the report said.
Prince Andrew has enjoyed the company of a string of glamorous women since his separation from the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, with whom he has two children - Princesses Beatrice (22) and Eugenie (20).
Escat is a well-known face on the party scenes of Madrid and Manila.
