Duchess of York 'wanted cash for Prince Andrew access'

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;">The Duchess of York has been filmed offering to sell access to ex-husband Prince Andrew for £500,000 ($723,000), a newspaper has claimed.

The News of the World said Sarah Ferguson was filmed by an undercover reporter posing as a businessman.

She appears to accept a $40,000 cash payment, and is quoted as saying: "Look after me and he'll look after you."

The paper says the prince - a UK trade envoy - knew nothing about the deal. The duchess has not commented.

The duchess's spokeswoman, Kate Wadington, said she had not been told about the meeting and was "incandescent" it had taken place.

She said the word "naive" sprung to mind.

Oops! Another "cash-for-favours" row for the Duke – a financier friend paid off £50,000 of Fergie's debts:

Fergie better hope she doesn't end up killed.

Better stay out of chauffeur driven cars in Paris...

Apparently HRH Prince Andrew, The Duke of York, has quit his gig as UK Trade Envoy.

''Finding Sarah'' airs its finale this week, it's been EPIC. Loved every second of it. The companion memoir, also titled ''Finding Sarah'' is selling OK. Not a NY Times best seller, but it's doing OK. Should feather her nest for a little while.

HRH Princess Beatrice of York graduated with a 2:1 from Goldsmith's, University of London, so apparently she's clever.

The latest issue of Vanity Fair has a good article on Andrew...my money is on a remarriage for Andrew and Fergie once Prince Philip kicks the can.

Why did he quit? I know the press likes to go after him but I thought there hadn't been any scandals lately.

The heat's been on Andrew for years to quit. He finally cracked and said "sod it"...

"Finding Sarah" is now on the NY Times Bestseller List, both hardcover non-fiction and e-book. Number 25, so not super high, but it's a success.
