Fergie finds favour with Andrew’s former flame

She is reputedly one of the Duke of York’s old flames, but she has just received a glowing endorsement from an unexpected quarter — the Duchess of York.

Fergie has alerted her social media followers that her ‘great friend’ Caroline Stanbury — as she describes the vivacious blonde — is hosting an event next month in California where she’ll share ‘fashion, beauty, business and wellness secrets’.

Now living in Dubai with her Turkish husband Cem habib, Stanbury, 42, will talk about ‘being a married mother of three who is dominating the international business world’.

Four years ago, her company, Gift Library — an online ‘gifting service’ whose products included a £295 baby comb set — went into administration, as I disclosed at the time.

‘Platinum’ tickets for next month’s bash are £800 apiece.

That’s the spirit.
