A shock tell-all interview with Prince Filiberto, 52, saw him reveal some personal truths about his life.
Topics from his “family jewels”, experiences with threesomes and cheating allegations all arose from the candid chat.
One of the most remarkable confessions saw Filiberto admit to once being uncertain and unsure over his sex life as a younger man.
He said he had always felt awkward over making love and that this drove him to enquire about getting a helping hand from an expert.
The prince from the old House of Savoy said he relied on a prostitute to show him the ropes on how to romp.
He told Italian newspaper La Repubblica: “I had a girlfriend and I wanted to make love with her, but I didn’t know how to do it.
“So I had a prostitute teach me how to do it. It became clear to me very quickly.”
Filiberto shot to fame after winning Italy‘s version of Strictly Come Dancing in 2009.
He is also the owner of several restaurants in the US as well as being the Chief Executive Officer for a video game called RoyaLand which is being developed alongside seven other royal families.
Before falling into favour with TV audiences for his quicksteps and foxtrots Filiberto was mainly seen as a spoilt royal.
He comes from a line of royalists from the House of Savoy.
This lineage provided Italy’s kings from unification in the 19th century to the final abolition of the monarchy in 1946.
The last king was his grandfather King Umberto II with his dad, Prince Vittorio Emanuele, campaigning to take back the throne up until his death last year.
If Italy does ever call for the monarchy to be reinstated then Filiberto would be the heir.
Despite this he has always said he would rather hand down the honour to daughter Vittoria Cristina, 21, who is currently studying in the UK.
Vittoria is already catching up to her father’s fame as she boast over 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Filiberto remained as honest as ever in his latest bombshell-filled interview.
Another X-rated admission saw the prince say he enjoyed to be seduced.

As well as opening up about his past experiences with threesomes.
Filiberto said these rare sexual encounters often left him feeling “a little bit like an imbecile”.
He added that he rarely uses a bidet and always wears boxer short in order to hide his self-titled “family jewels”.
The prince also spoke on his relationship with wife Clotilde Courau.
Despite still being married the pair live apart with Filiberto spending his time in affluent Monaco and Courau living in Paris.
He revealed: “We love each other dearly, but we live apart.
“It is not quantity that matters but quality. We are happy this way.
“In the beginning she was the whim of the prince who wanted to conquer the Leftist actress. Today I love and respect her much more.”
The couple have been together for over two decades and have faced a number of controversies since tying the knot in 2003.
Courau was once seen slapping her husband in the face in public as cheating claims swirled.
Filiberto cleared up the accusations in the open interview as he insisted it was “not for cheating” but rather because he complimented Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson.
The prince also opened up on a second relationship he had with a former lover which quickly declined as it turned violent.
He named the ex as Natasha and said on one occasion he remembers her throwing a bottle of whiskey at him.
Another time he claimed she threw a plugged in hairdryer into a bathtub he was sat in.
Filiberto recalled being left eternally grateful that the cord was short and caused the hairdryer to unplug at the wall.
