CAUGHT ON CAMERA... YET AGAIN
THE Duchess of York has an unfortunate habit of attracting controversy after being caught on camera.
She was famously trapped in a newspaper sting in 2010 where she allegedly offered to sell access to Prince Andrew in exchange for £500,000.
Eighteen years earlier – and having split from Andrew – she was photographed with Texan millionaire John Bryan. The images included shots of him kissing her toes as they lazed by the pool of a villa in St Tropez.
In 2009, she was criticised over The Duchess On The Estate, an ITV documentary in which she offered advice to families on a Manchester council estate that she described as povertystricken and blighted.
It followed another TV documentary, The Duchess In Hull, in which she was accused of being ‘patronising’ for trying to persuade an obese family living on benefits to embrace a healthier lifestyle.
The Duchess even faced the prospect of jail in 2012 after being charged with secretly filming in an orphanage in Turkey where the authorities accused her of involvement in a politically motivated campaign designed to derail the country’s bid to join the EU.
