The Duchess of York was caught on tape by an undercover reporter, offering him access to Prince Andrew, her ex-husband, for half a million pounds.
Known better as Fergie, the Duchess was caught on Tuesday night offering to accept a bribe from the News of the World journalist in disguise as a businessman for a chance to meet the Prince.
Fergie supposedly agreed to take a cash down payment of £27,650 for the deal, and asked that the rest of the amount be wired directly to her bank account.
The film showed the duchess saying that £500,000 can open doors. According to the tape, Fergie stated that the Prince is not in on the deal and would not underwrite her efforts, but would have a meeting if prompted by her.
The paper stated that it started to look into the story after it heard from a royal associate that Fergie was making money by setting up deals with businessman unbeknownst to Andrew.
Fergie stepped into the setup at a New York Hotel, and a dining club located in Belgravia. She then took the reporter to a Mayfair flat where she was caught on film shaking on the deal.
Afterwards, she asked for a seven page confidentiality agreement, and told the reporter that she is the complete aristocrat.
She also stated in regards to the Prince that that have a great relationship and are possibly one of the happiest divorced pair in the world.
Buckingham Palace has not made a comment about the allegations or the film yet.
