Andrew’s romance with Koo Stark may not have been destined to ring wedding bells, but the same can’t be said for his relationship with Sarah Ferguson. The duo married in 1986 in a ceremony watched by 500 million people. Clearly their love was much loved, but it wasn’t to last forever.It seems things got off to a bad start straight away when Andrew had to return to British naval service just two weeks after the wedding.
