A reporter for the British newspaper News of the World posed as a wealthy businessman and asked Ferguson to help him meet Prince Andrew. Ferguson "met" with the reporter and demanded a 500,000-pound ($724,000) "introduction fee". This reporter on May 18, 2010 secretly shot the two "joint" video and uploaded to the website. Ferguson's spokesman said on the 23rd, Ferguson "for this incident and the embarrassment caused by the deep remorse". Prince Andrew, 50, is currently Britain's special representative for international trade and investment.
Sarah, 50, was caught in a British tabloid trap, asking a wealthy businessman posed by an undercover reporter for 500,000 pounds, claiming that she could introduce him to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, who is Britain's special representative for international trade and investment, so that his business would get a 10-fold return, and then received a $40,000 deposit. She smoked a cigarette while the face of the price was secretly photographed, often exposed as a spendthrift Sarah this time the scandalous appearance of the hard evidence. The scandal has embarrassed the British royal family. According to British media reports, Sarah learned that after the incident, emotional collapse, May 23rd issued a statement saying "very regretful, y sorry", admitted that he appeared "serious errors of judgment", and stressed that her ex-husband did not know about this matter. Sarah's image of the Princess is completely destroyed, news that she intends to move out of the Windsor mansion given to her by her ex-husband, and leave the UK forever, hoping to get rid of the bad reputation of "selling her husband".
Sarah used her ex-husband's name to enrich herself, and the royal family immediately drew a line in the sand, claiming that Andrews had "no knowledge" of her meeting with the fake tycoon. Sarah's former adviser, Starkey, told the media that she had planned to have sex with an Arab prince for money to pay off a multi-million-pound debt, only to flee later, exchanging kisses for a 50,000-pound bounty from the prince. It was also revealed that Sarah had long ago bragged to friends that she had been paid $300,000 for a sex party on a luxury yacht with two Saudi Arabian oil barons. Sarah's classmates at the Queen's Secretarial College revealed that she had often engaged in sexual favors with wealthy businessmen even before she married Prince Andrew.
After her divorce from Andrew, Sarah argued that she had to find another way to make money because she was broke and miserable. But British media accused her of taking the blame for her own misery, which was caused by her profligate lifestyle and greed, which eventually led to huge debts. She invested in the company in New York closed down last year, owed 620,000 pounds of debt; recently was also sued by creditors in court, requiring her to pay back at least 200,000 pounds in arrears. Despite the debt, Sarah still insisted on living a "semi-royal" life, in and out of the Bentley car, travel to take the plane first class, but also hired 12 male housekeepers and assistants.
