Mayte Garcia was muse and wife to Prince until tragedy pushed them apart. Now an actress and fashion ambassador, she reveals the details of their strange life together – including the fact that she was never allowed to phone the pop star - even when they were married. When Mayte Garcia married Prince in 1996, the singer bought his young wife a rambling hacienda in Marbella, overlooking the sea.

Built in the style of a fairytale palace, it was painted white and bordered with peach, festooned with mirrors and even boasted its own hair salon. ‘Oh, I never used the salon,’ says Mayte hastily, as if to imply otherwise - even a decade on - would be a tremendous breach of trust. ‘I always went out if I needed my hair done.The salon wasn't for me, it was for my husband. Prince needed his space.’

There's no trace of irony in her voice at such a peculiar arrangement, but then her rather claustrophobic relationship with rock's most eccentric showman was pretty much characterised by its peculiarities. ‘I wasn't allowed to call him, ever. Even when we were married; I had to wait for him to call me. I've no idea why, he never actually said,’ she says, an expression of retrospective puzzlement briefly clouding her flawless features. ‘Hey, maybe I should try it now, and see what happens?’

She then bursts into peals of musical laughter at such an outlandish idea, and I think it's fair to assume she never will make that call. Even six years after their divorce, which was precipitated by the tragic loss of their newborn baby, she still abides by the unwritten rules of Prince's parallel universe.

and this part too..

The family followed her father's postings abroad, and it was in Germany that they all went to a Prince concert. ‘My dad showed him a video of me dancing and Prince asked to meet me.’ They were invited backstage by the roadies, and it was there that Mayte came face to face with her future husband.

‘My first thought was “Wow, he's really - small!” It came as a surprise, because he's got such a huge presence on stage,’ she says, smiling at the memory. ‘When I mentioned I could flip coins on my belly, he called everyone into the room to watch.’
Prince, then 32, was so taken with Mayte, he asked permission to contact her. This he did, for almost two years. He would send her his new songs, and in return, receive feedback and videotapes of Mayte dancing to them. He would also call her every other day. ‘Looking back, it was a bit surreal,’ she says, with masterful understatement. ‘I didn't tell many of my friends because they wouldn't have believed me. It was all quite innocent, but quite intense.’

i read part one beforee

i love mayte so thankss for thissss

Mayte said "I had to wait for him to call me. I've no idea why, he never actually said," she says, an expression of retrospective puzzlement briefly clouding her flawless features.

Well Mayte, did you not think to ask why you were not allowed to call him?

I like Mayte, I think she is as cute as a button, I even have a soft spot for her album, but comments like these do not really do her any favours, it makes her sound like a robot.

Prince "You are not allowed to call me, ever!"

Person with half a brain cell "Why am I not allowed to call you? I find that a little strange, even for you."

But robot Mayte never thought to ask that question.

A beautiful, and touching story. Shows how gentle and loving Prince is.

Cant understand, why she dated tommy lee after, a wife batterer and womaniser.

she was also on the American tv show called 'That's Incredible' several years before she met prince. I think the video of that was shown on one of the Prince 'movies' from that time.

edit: corrected the name of the show

Yeah, sounds like control to me, not really someone who is loving and gentle, though i'm sure he was to an extent.

We're thinking about it out of context and from the perspective of normal people in normal relationships. In all likelihood, he never actually stated "Don't call me." but rather he would say something like, "I'll call you when I'm ready." and she never questioned it. That's not TOO far fetched when considering he is a huge rockstar at this point (1988-).

All true.

I still like to think of her as a robot, not a robot, a cyborg, yeah, that's it, Mayte the cyborg.

Mayte could be the missing link Cylon.

^^ I had to google that.

I know cylon was from BSG but I had not heard of the missing link. I assumed that the newer shows have better cylons (as opposed to the chrome ones from the original series)

but then i was getting aroused thinking that there could be a robot that looked like mayte

Because even commercial salons don't have space for all the relaxer it takes to keep up with Prince's hairstyles!

If we're passing out cookies for rampant womanizing, Prince himself definitely deserves a big ol' oatmeal chocolate chip, with sugar frosting on top.

yeah it was. It was april or so 1997,

If I was Mayte I would have phoned him just to see Prince's reaction. I mean what if she had something important to tell or ask him. Women like Mayte allow men to control them. It is very childish to say to your lover ' Don't call me, ever'. If you loved someone you would enjoy hearing from them. Very odd.

Takes a certain type of woman to be with a man lile Lee - especially after Prince. I will let you make your own conclusion as to what type....

You find a guy that won't let you call him on the phone gentle and loving?? REALLY??

So mind games are ok??

Once again the purplebuttkissers are all over Tommy Lee - who by all accounts (from both Mayte and Tommy) had a GREAT and honest relationship with Mayte. Tommy may have been a wifebeater and a scumbag overall, but how does mental abuse escape being called out?

Oh - right.

So, purplenuts, are you a misogynist, or what? Seems like you have a put-down for every woman who gets mentioned here: Wendy, Lisa, Mayte, Mani, and so on and so forth.

Prince must be the loniliest man in the world. I guess there is no wonder why he is always alone and cant keep a relationship. What a shame he is such an ass.

Men like him don't ever feel lonely. They are very content with the state of their lives, believe me.

I suspect he was being more than a little sarcastic.
