PRINCE Andrew’s denials he is a party-loving playboy who likes to cuddle up to beautiful women looked on shaky ground today as photos emerged of him doing just that.
The Duke of York insisted in his “car crash” BBC interview with Emily Maitlis that despite his “Randy Andy” reputation he definitely wasn’t a “party prince.”
In one revealing photo the prince is seen leaning it to give one bikini-clad beauty a peck on the cheek
The pictures -taken in 2002 – come after the Royal said he wasn’t one for showing affection in public
The under-fire royal claimed he was not the kind of the man who would ever be seen cuddling up to women in public
He spoke out as he tried to distance himself from a picture which showed him with his arm around Virginia Roberts when she was 17 at a party thrown by paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew said that as a member of the royal family, hugs and public displays of affection are not things he would do.
However, in one revealing photo the prince is seen leaning it to give one bikini-clad beauty a peck on the cheek at a swanky French Riviera beachside bar.
The pictures, taken in 2002, also show the Duke strolling along the sands with another stunning looking woman in a swimsuit.

Photos have emerged of the Prince cosying up to bikini-clad beauties in the Riviera
The royal’s party-loving reputation earned him the nickname Randy Andy
Other startling images show the Royal chatting to German supermodel Heidi Klum at a ‘Hookers and Pimps’ Halloween party held in New York in October 2000.
The A-list bash was also attended by Epstein’s alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who had her arm round him for some of the night.
There is absolutely no suggestion the Prince had any kind of physical relationships with any of those pictured.
The Prince also bizarrely stated he did not sweat because he was shot at in the Falklands as he dismissed damaging claims he slept with “sex slave” Virginia.
However, in pictures published elsewhere today a clearly “glowing” Andrew is seen dancing with a blonde socialite in 2007.
She can be seen sticking her tongue out next to Andrew’s cheek.
In another photo he is seen dancing nose-to-nose with a beautiful brunette.
Andrew has been on the guest lists of dozens of A-list parties
His royal duties have taken him all over the world
Prince Andrew is now facing a huge backlash over his interview, which Prince Charles’ former PR chief Dickie Arbiter described as: “Not so much a car crash but an articulated lorry crash.”
Mr Arbiter said he must “take a break” from royal duties, adding: “What charity wants a VIP guest with this hanging over him?”
Piers Morgan also slammed Prince Andrew’s bombshell Jeffrey Epstein interview as “desperate toe-curling bullsh***” as backlash grows.
The outspoken Good Morning Britain host tweeted his response to the much-anticipated Newsnight episode last night.
He wrote: “This is one of the most astonishing interviews I’ve ever watched.
“Brilliant forensic dissection by @maitlis – desperate to-curling bulls*** from Prince Andrew. “Why on earth did he do this? Insane.”
The interview was branded a “car crash” as viewers turned on the royal for having “no empathy” for his paedo pal Epstein’s alleged victims.
The Duke of York spoke about his links with the disgraced millionaire during an “unvetted questions” interview with BBC2 Newnight’s Emily Maitlis.
