Who Is He Dateing

WHO IS PRINCE ANDREW DATEING NOW??? YOU NEVER SEE HIM WITH ANYONE !!!

 

[seto]

I think we'll know he's serious about someone when he takes his wedding ring off.

 

[Princess BellyFlop]

IS that really his wedding ring he has on the left hand or could it be his «crest/stamp» ?

Princess BellyFlop, He wears both. His wedding ring is just under his royal crest ring.

 

[Princess BellyFlop]

Sad. Very sad.

Andrew: royal signet ring & wedding ring

 

[crisiñaki]

What did Fergie do to him?
To be honest she's not the prettiest or smartest (or even the nicest) woman in the world, yet he still clings to her, sad, very sad; specially because he's wasting his last years of hotness over a relationship that's not fullfilling
He's the least bald of the Windsor (not including Princess Anne and her beehive of course)

 

[Princess BellyFlop]

Thank you Warren for the proof. I admit I was looking and hoping we would not find anything. It's sad that he is not moving over with his life.

There are pictures of Prince Charles continuing to wear his wedding ring (from 1st marriage) almost right up to the time of his second engagement.

Prince Andrew on TV

If you live in the UK the Biography Channel is showing Prince Andrew's Biography on April 16th, 2006 I believe @ 2:00 p.m. If anyone in the UK can record this I'll pay top dollar for it! I know I can order by sites but I don't have a credit card so check/m.o. is my only way.

A gold ring engraved with his Royal crest or Coat of Arms.

Does he actually use this ring for anything... or is it just symbolic?
BTW, I think he needs to move on from Sarah already!

Suzhou, Jiangsu, CHINA
LIANG BAOHUA (right), governor of east Chinas Jiangsu province, shakes hands with PRINCE ANDREW, the Duke of York and British Special Representative for International Trade and Investment, during a welcome ceremony in Suzhou city. Prince Andrew is on a five-day visit in China to promote trade and investment relations.

 

[Opal]

Is it just my eyes, or does the duke look like he's lost some weight?

 

[Princess BellyFlop]

Hard to say when a man is wearing a well-cut dark suit. He would have to lose a HUGE amount of weight for us to really see it. And Andrew doesn't need to lose a huge amount of weight, maybe just to tone his body a bit.
It's only when we saw him in a bathing suit that some mentioned the need for some training for the lovely prince.

When in a suit he is well.. charming.. as a real prince should be. N'est-ce pas?

 

[ysbel]

I normally like Andrew's looks but I swear he looks like Tony Blair in the Easter pics.

 

[ysbel]

The Queen has just made Andrew a Knight of the Garter.

[Royal Fan]

Awsome!! He did fight in the Falklands so I Guess that counts for something I Wanted William and Henry to get it. Oh well Maybe when the Queen turns 90 or Charles ciomes to the Throne

 

[ysbel]

Yes RoyalFan, its about time Andrew got the Garter.

I'll look forward to his first Garter ceremony this June. He's bound to look dashing in the Garter robes.

In the meantime here's a good pic of Andrew from the Thanksgiving service for the Queen's 80th birthday.

Yeah, men are lucky... they can hide all their flaws underneath their suits. Whereas women's flaws are difficult to hide in a dress. So unfair.

 

[GlitteringTiaras]

Prince Andrew has aged quite nicely in these recent photos.

 

[Princess BellyFlop]

I'm happy that he's getting the Order of the Garter, he deserves it... but i'm surprised that his baby brother is also getting it at the very same time!
