'I want to be a supermodel but I won't kiss and tell,' says Prince Andrew's yacht beauty...as she meets Max Clifford for dinner
By Fay Schlesinger
The beautiful brunette seen getting close to Prince Andrew was making the most of her new-found royal connections yesterday.
Alexandra Escat, 25, has arrived in London and hopes to make major steps towards achieving her dream of success as a supermodel.
Friends insist that she is resisting temptation to ‘kiss and tell’ about her relationship with the 50-year-old Duke of York after she was seen lovingly rubbing sunscreen into his back during a Mediterranean cruise.
However, she will not be short of advice if she changes her mind, having wasted no time contacting PR guru Max Clifford.

Dinner date: Miss Escat with PR guru Max Clifford at the Colony bar and Grill in Marylebone
Andrew is said to have bombarded her with phone calls and emails since they met last week, and friends told the Daily Mail they are likely to meet again.
Miss Escat, who was born to a Spanish mother and Filipino father, was brought up in Madrid and studied PR there for five years from the age of 18 before moving back to the Philippines.
Although she was the face of Unilever’s Cream Silk hair conditioner, her modelling work remains relatively unknown in Britain and the U.S.

Got milk? Prince Andrew, 50, with Miss Escat, 25.
Royal sources initially denied the pair were anything more than acquaintances
When she was pictured with Prince Andrew on a superyacht off Sardinia, royal sources quickly denied the pair were anything more than acquaintances, claiming Miss Escat was married to another guest on the boat.
But it soon emerged that she is very much a single girl.
She is also single-minded in her ambition to reach the top in the modelling game.
A source close to her said: ‘She is charming and absolutely beautiful, with her life ahead of her. Andrew and her were much closer than people think. He is keen. That’s obvious because of constant calls and emails. But talking about relationships is not her way – she's not like that. Honesty and integrity are important to her.’
Clifford later said: ‘People are looking for her, and contacting her family and her friends. There is a lot of commercial and media interest, including potential TV adverts, modelling assignments and swimwear deals.
‘She was wondering whether to go into PR but I have advised her against it if, as she has said, her priority is to make her parents proud. She is keeping her head down at the moment while she looks at the whole picture.'
