Cash-strapped Sarah Ferguson is even more red-faced today after fresh claims of money-grabbing emerged – this time involving the sale of her two daughters on Ebay.
Last week the former princess was recorded offering an undercover journalist access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew for £500,000. While the revelation has been embarrassing, it pales in comparison to the latest discovery.
Yesterday, an eagle-eyed Gusset reporter discovered Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie listed on popular shopping site Ebay with a reserve of £350 for the pair. Investigations revealed that the seller, whose username was Chubbsy1959, had also listed a number of royal items including a pair of Princess Diana’s jodhpurs and hair allegedly from Queen Elizabeth’s plughole.
The double sister sale, which began “Two royal princesses for the price of one!!!!1” went on to describe Princess Beatrice, 22, and Eugenie, 21, as “buxom and plyant (sic)” and from a pet and smoke free home.
The princesses in happier times.
Human rights organisation Amnesty International has warned against selling royals on online shopping sites after Prince Frederick of Denmark was sold on a Danish shopping site to African slave merchants in 2002.
The organisation has urged Ebay to include a clause that prevents the sale of anyone linked to the monarchy.
The princesses were unavailable for comment this morning.
