Koo Stark, an American actress and photographer but perhaps better known as the one-time girlfriend of Prince Andrew (fleetingly mentioned in The Crown), has lost a court battle with another ex-partner over claims that he had promised to pay millions to support her.
Stark now faces ruin with a legal bill of up to £400,000 after the judge said she had been living ‘beyond her means for years’. She will have to shoulder her own lawyers’ fees (expected to run into six figures) as well as her former partner’s, which are estimated at £285,000.
Now 64, she claimed that Warren ‘Robbie’ Walker, a US banker, agreed in 1997 to pay her for life for the equivalent of £50,000 annually, in addition to household expenses. Why, you may wonder? At the time of the alleged agreement, the pair, who were not married, had just had a daughter and Ms Stark claimed that the promise was made in return for her giving up plans to write a column for the Times called ‘Diary of a Single Mother’. |
