Sarah Ferguson says sorry after sting

Disgraced Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson has said she is sorry for the cash scandal in which she promised to disclose information about Prince Andrew for $874,000 (£500,000).

In exchange for the cash Fergie promised to give an undercover reporter posing as a businessman access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew, who is fourth in line to the British throne.

Fifty-year-old Fergie was caught on video by UK’s News of the World newspaper agreeing to accept a US$40,000 ($48,710) cash down payment from an undercover reporter who was promised access to the prince.

“I very deeply regret the situation and the embarrassment caused,” the Duchess of York said in a statement.

“It is true that my financial situation is under stress. However, that is no excuse for a serious lapse in judgement and I am very sorry that this has happened.”

The incident has surely caused the British royal family embarrassment and will continue to haunt the duchess.
