Later Life
After the divorce, the prince resumed the life of a playboy, having relationships with actresses Ava Gardner and Kim Novak. In 1973 he married the actress Jocelyn Lane. This too was a stormy partnership, and ended in divorce in 1985.
In the 1990s, the property speculator Jesus Gil y Gil became mayor of Marbella and the town entered a construction boom. The prince pulled out, selling his shares in the Marbella Club, due to the area's increasing association with Arab arms traffickers and Russian mafia, whose conspicuous consumption was peppered with violence. He moved to the town of Ronda and successfully turned his efforts to wine-making with a new wife, Marilys Haynes. His last wife died on 2 November 2000 after apparently taking her own life, the same year he learned he had prostate cancer.
