Cash-strapped Duchess of York to sell family silver ‘live on TV’
December 20th, 2009 - 4:31 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, Dec 20 (ANI): In a move bound to anger the Royal Family, the Duchess of York is reportedly planning to sell family silver - on shopping channel QVC.
Cash-strapped Sarah Ferguson, 50, has already held talks with QVC bosses in Los Angeles and pitched to them a range of royal-themed china, glassware, silverware and bed linen.
“She’s desperate to create her own lifestyle brand. She said she’d never cash in on her name or sell out the Royal Family but that’s precisely what she’s doing - and why she doesn’t want them to know what she’s up to,” News of the World quoted a source as saying.
“She told staff to go round her house photographing items that could be replicated and sold with her own ‘S’ logo on.
“Some of it has been passed down through generations.
“One plan is to to make doll’s houses based on the Queen’s miniature childhood cottage at Windsor. QVC executives seem keen and Sarah’s happy to go on TV and sell the stuff.
“She’s still got fans in America and that’s where the money is,” the source added. (ANI)
