Duchess goes undercover for TV probe

The Duchess of York has reportedly completed an undercover mission to investigate how children are treated in Romania and Turkey's state-run orphanages.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie accompanied their mum during the probe, which will be broadcast on ITV's Tonight programme on November 6.

The Duchess told ITN: "Everybody always rushes to what the front page says, or what's sexy, or the glamorous Hollywood party where you're raising money for paediatric aids, which is fantastic and a great job, but there is still a child in Romania saying 'help me'."

A team from the show carried out a similar investigation three years ago and the Duchess reportedly wanted to see for herself how conditions are improving.
