THE Duchess of York alluded to an influence-peddling scandal involving her ex-husband Prince Andrew yesterday when promoting her latest children's books, joking that "I prefer children."
The ex-royal Sarah Ferguson was caught offering an undercover reporter access to her former husband for US$724,000, a British tabloid reported this week.
"As you all know, I really don't like grown-ups. I prefer children," Ferguson quipped at BookExpo America at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center before several hundred book dealers. She was one of four children's book authors at the event promoting and signing their new books.
Ferguson made a number of offhand, self-deprecating remarks during the event without directly saying anything about the recent scandal.
"It was quite difficult for me to get to Javits Center today - one or two people in the way," she said of the paparazzi she attracted. "You might have heard that."
In introducing an author, she said his book gives us "reason to believe that problems can be solved. I think I'll read it immediately."
Ferguson has issued a statement apologizing for causing embarrassment for selling access to her ex-husband.
The duchess has written several children's books. Her latest series is called "Helping Hand Books" and includes four titles: "Matthew and the Bullies," "Emily's First Day of School," "Ashley Learns About Strangers" and "Michael and His New Baby Brother."
