Fergie accused of offering access to Prince Andrew for cash
In an undercover sting, UK paper News of the World has recorded of a video of Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, in which she seemingly accepts 40,000 pounds in cash and makes a deal for another 500,000 pound wire transfer, in return for her promise to open doors to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew. The paper claims Andrew, UK Special Representative for Trade and Investment, does not know about the claims Fergie is making in his name. In the video, Fergie meets with what she apparently thinks is a rich businessman and offers up, "Look after me and he’ll look after you. . . you’ll get it back tenfold. I can open any door you want." The paper says she agreed to a private meeting with their reporter, who was posing as an international tycoon, without once checking his credentials.
