The Duchess of York says she's devastated and regretful after falling victim to a British newspaper sting.

Sarah Ferguson was secretly filmed offering to sell access to her former husband Prince Andrew.

In the video, filmed by a News of the World reporter posing as a wealthy businessman, she's heard asking for more than $700,000 for an introduction to the Prince.

She's later seen to accept a $40,000 cash downpayment.

The paper's royal editor Robert Jobson says it's a scandal that will cause a lot of damage.

  • Not surprising to see the media continue to create the news not just report it. The whole media industry should be ashamed of itself.

  • Is anyone surprised by this? This is the way these criminals work, all government levels. Have dinner with the premier? It's gonna cost you... dinner with you local member, it's gonna cost. Once you've paid, your in the pocket, as long as the cash keeps flowing.
