Sarah Ferguson was apparently the victim of a tabloid sting by the News Of The World, who used an undercover reporter posing as a businessman to offer her a commercial deal.
The tabloid claims the Duchess offered to sell access to trade envoy Prince Andrew for £500,000 and accepted a $40,000 (£27,000) cash down payment from the reporter.
The paper claims that unknown to the prince, the Duchess, 50, promised to introduce reporters to her ex-husband and claimed he would help fix lucrative deals. She allegedly went on to demand a cut of all profits.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the allegations.
