Museums and galleries across the world regularly unveil new portraits of members of the Royal Family.
However, there's a set of princely images which look set to remain hidden from the public gaze.
During a recent visit to Brazil for a round of engagements in his capacity as Britain's Special Representative For Trade and Investment, Prince Andrew reportedly
decided to cast off the shackles of his official role by undertaking a
rather more relaxed portraiture session.
It is one which went on until 4am
and saw the Queen's second son flanked by several beautiful women.
The 47-year-old Duke was at a dinner party with one of his more colourful friends, millionaire businessman Johan Eliasch.
While Andrew's own personal life is often deemed to be complex
thanks to his ongoing friendship with his ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of
York, his Swedish-born pal shares his life with two women: his wife in
London and, during his time in Brazil, a 'stunning' lady by the name of Ana Paula Junqueira.
It was during the dinner party that Andrew allowed himself to be
photographed for a tongue-in-cheek set of images with a bevvy of
beauties, including one of the women with whom he shared a yacht during
a visit to Rio several years ago.
