EXCLUSIVE: Koo Stark became a household name thanks to her relationship with Prince Andrew in the ’80s and now she is hoping to become a wellness guru with the launch of her holistic brand
Prince Andrew’s old flame is launching her own wellness brand in a bid to become the next Gwyneth Paltrow. Koo Stark has applied to the UK government’s Intellectual Property Office to trademark a business that will sell products from crystal therapies to tarot card readings.
The 69-year-old also aims to market Koo Stark yoni eggs – stones used by women as a sex aid. Gwyneth markets her own version, a Jade Egg, for almost £50 on her Goop wellness site. Cancer survivor Koo, who dated Andrew for 18 months in the early 1980s, will also offer “therapeutic treatment of the body, meditation services, yoga, spiritual advice, aura photography and meditation training” as well as cosmetics.
The actress and photographer’s application has been filed under ‘Kathleen Norris Stark trading as Koo Stark’. Koo’s controversial relationship with Andrew began after they met at a party in February 1981.

The Prince was said to have considered proposing but the relationship faced intense pressure from the Royal Family because of Koo’s past acting roles in movies such as Electric Dreams, Marquis de Sade’s Justine and Eat The Rich. The couple split in 1983.
Earlier this year, Koo filed a lawsuit against Star Wars producers for £190million. She played Luke Skywalker’s friend Camie Marstrap in the 1977 movie A New Hope, but her scenes were cut.
However, they recently appeared online so Koo claims her intellectual property rights have been exploited. The news comes just one week after claims that Andrew “slept with more than a dozen women” in the first year of his marriage to Sarah Ferguson.
The biography of the Duke and Duchess of York by historian Andrew Lownie – The Rise and Fall of the House of York – alleges Fergie wanted to be “The One” but enjoyed several affairs of her own with “reckless abandon”.
Lownie, who has written several acclaimed books on the royal family, details claims the York’s troubled marriage was riddled with infidelity.
Andrew, who was forced to step down from royal duties over his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, allegedly told his new wife early on: “I am a prince, then a naval officer, then a husband.”
Lownie claims a former driver who worked for the couple has stated that Andrew slept with more than 12 women before they reached their first wedding anniversary. The author also alleges Andrew has slept with more than 1,000 women in his life.
Lownie says the list includes adult film stars, political figures, and nightclub staff and bartenders. One 20-year-old model alleged: “He wanted me to engage in kinky sexual activity. He had no boundaries.
“He told me he had an open marriage arrangement with his wife. I felt like he used me for a few days, so he could live his wildest fantasies.”
