Britain's Prince Andrew spent hours "chatting up" a rich socialite in New York on Wednesday night. The 49-year-old royal shocked onlookers at trendy East 54th Street restaurant Monkey Bar when he made a beeline for fashion heiress Valesca Guerrand-Hermes and spent the whole evening by her side.

Sources told America's New York Post newspaper the Duke of York seemed "fixated" on Valesca, and couldn't stop staring at her.

Britain's Princess Eugenie partied until 4am on Wednesday morning. The 18-year-old royal spent the evening at the exclusive Boujis nightclub in London's South Kensington district, and emerged in the early hours looking tired.
