This is pretty low! The Duchess of York and former Weight Watcher’s spokesperson, Sarah Ferguson, was trying to make over $7000,000 at the expense of her ex-husband.
Prince Andrew, who is the second son of Queen Elizabeth and the fourth in line to the throne, had no knowledge of Ferguson’s plan.
Ferguson, 50, said Prince Andrew “never does accept a penny for anything,” before shaking on her dirty deal.
Ferguson’s spokeswoman, Kate Waddington, confirmed the video is real and says the duchess is “devastated” and regretted the embarrassment she had caused.
The New of the World tabloid had two separate meetings in New York and London where Ferguson asked for a $40,000 cash advance followed by 500,000 pounds ($718,500) in a wire transfer for giving access to the royal family.
Ferguson can be seen on the video smoking a cigarette and drinking a glass of red wine with a pile of cash on the table.
A reporter posed as a wealthy businessman wanting trade connections.
“Five hundred thousand pounds when you can, to me – open doors,” Ferguson tells the reporter involved in the sting operation.
“Look after me and he’ll look after you,” she said. “You’ll get it back tenfold. I can open any door you want.”
Ferguson and Prince Andrew have two daughters, Princesses Beatrice, 21, and Eugenie 20. Sarah and Prince Andrew married in 1986 but divorced after ten years of marriage.
