Sarah Ferguson has expressed “total sympathy” for Kate Middleton after topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge were revealed last week!

“I have been there and know what it’s like,” the Duchess of York, 52, told the U.K.’s Daily Mail. “Everyone is entitled to privacy. It is a devastating invasion of one’s personal inner space. It is deplorable, abhorrent and despicable.”

Twenty years ago, Sarah was photographed topless while sunbathing at a remote villa in the South of France. Sarah was photographed getting her toes sucked by American businessman John Bryan while lying poolside in August 1992.

Despite Kate’s photo scandal, Sarah believes Kate should continue with her Royal duties including a nine-day Diamond Jubilee tour of South East Asia and the South Pacific.

“She is a beautiful young woman doing a great job for the country,” Sarah continued. “Why should she be stripped of that moment with her husband?”

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Will these images hurt Kate’s image?

Is the Duchess of York truly sorry for her recent despicable actions — or is she just still trying to pay her bills?

Sarah Ferguson wants the world to know that she’s truly repentant for her recent crimes — and is willing to do whatever it takes to make things right again with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew!

On June 1, the Duchess of York will go on The Oprah Show to plead forgiveness after an undercover reporter caught her trying to self access to her Royal ex for nearly a million dollars; she will shoot the segment on May 28.  “We all make mistakes,” the flame-haired 50-year-old told People magazine May 26 at the NYC launch party for her new childrens’ books, Helping Hands, adding, Yet we go on. We dust ourselves down.”

And that’s not all! Business tycoon Donald Trump feels so sorry for the Duchess that he’s even offered her a job on next season’s The Apprentice (not the celebrity one) reports PopEater’s Rob Shuter.

With the financial crisis that Fergie is facing, the fact that “Donald Trump himself wants to help Sarah out of this awful mess that she has gotten herself into is incredible,” a TV exec tells Shuter, adding that said executive is “discussing finding Sarah a role on his hit show. It’s not yet clear if Sarah would compete, judge or be Donald’s eyes and ears on the next season of the Apprentice. However, what is clear is that whatever Donald wants, he usually gets!”

We can’t wait to see how this whole situation plays out.  This whole scenario could quite possibly earn The Donald a substantial ratings boost next season!

The Duchess of York is caught on tape accepting a bribe for setting up access to her husband!

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has been caught on tape accepting a bribe in exchange for access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew – in the amount of $750,000! The flame-haired former royal is on video telling an undercover reporter from Britain’s News of the World: “five hundred thousand pounds when you can to me … open doors.” Fergie then goes on to say: “if you want to meet [Andrew] in your business, look after me and he’ll look after you.”

The disgraced Fergie said in a statement following the tape’s release that her “lapse in judgment” was the result of severe financial problems. This from a woman who is photographed carrying the $6,000 Hermes Birkin handbag and who the New York Post says “prefers a chauffeur-driven Bentley, first-class air travel, and lavish gifts.” Her contract with Weight Watchers netted her $3 million in 2007, but most of her money was lost when her US-based promotions company Hartmoor was dissolved in 2009 with $933,000 in debt!

Prince Andrew has released a statement denying any knowledge of his ex’s scam, a claim she backs up. Fergie did accept $40,000 in cash at the meeting and it is unclear at this time what has or will be done with that money.
