The ex-wife of Prince Andrew has been in Rome for several days where she has been spotted at several glittering events.

However, Manuel has been absent up until Friday night but looked pleased to be joining the mother-of-two in the Italian city.

Sarah and Manuel reportedly split in March 2016 after the internet entrepreneur ended it with the Duchess.

The mother of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice was reported to have been dating the half-Irish half-Spanish businessman since being introduced by a mutual friend in early 2014 and, despite the eight-year age gap, insiders say she was 'besotted' with him.

Despite their apparent break-up the pair appear to have remained friends having been spotted at several events together in the past year. 

The Duchess lived at Royal Lodge in Windsor with her former husband, Prince Andrew, but finally moved out of the home in August 2015 - nearly 20 years after their divorce.

Manuel, meanwhile, has devoted his life to campaigning against domestic violence following the brutal murder of his 50-year-old sister Maria Stubbings in 2008.

The businessman is the co-founder of a lifestyle internet venture called vVoosh, which channels 10 per cent of its profits through a charitable foundation supporting causes including the Duchess’s Children in Crisis charity.
