The Duchess of York is “devastated” and “regretful” following newspaper claims she offered to sell access to ex-husband Prince Andrew, a source says.
The News of the World said Sarah Ferguson was recorded by an undercover reporter posing as a businessman. She appears to accept $40,000 in cash.
The paper says the prince – a UK trade envoy – knew nothing about the alleged £500,000 ($723,000) deal.
A source has told the Press Association the duchess regrets the incident.
According to the video soundtrack, the 50-year-old duchess tells the undercover reporter “£500,000 when you can, to me… open doors”.
