If you haven't heard this story already, which would be quite surprising, Duchess Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson is now the topic of a lot of controversy, after an incriminating video clip leaked earlier this week, taken by a sneaky reporter. The video depicts the famous woman accepting $40,000 in cash from a News of the World undercover reporter, with the
promise of $360,000 more, in order to gain a political and royal advantage through her husband. Many journalists are now taking different sides after evidence supports both arguments. A lot of journalists believe that Fergie may have had a little too much red wine that evening, and that the video footage is not that incriminating. Others believe that what the journalist was is called entrapment, where to convict someone of a crime, a position is taken where the the purportator is actively sought out, and tricked into revealing the truth. Some others are taking her side wholly, because the scandal had her coming out to say that her financial issues had brought her to such a financial situation that she took the money out of desperation. Most people, however, believe that Sarah Ferguson has let down the United Kingdom, and shamed the Royal Family, even though some peple argue that her decision doesn't reflect her husband's interests. Now, Sarah Ferguson is thinking of retreating to the United States to avoid the harsh glare of the British tabloids. We will soon see if she will follow through, and go into hiding, or try to not listen to the controversy, and continue her role as a British icon.

I personally believe that she just had too much red wine to drink, a snooping journalists came to her doorstep, and she was manipulated out of financial desperation into saying things she did not mean. I do think she has made a big mistake in this, but I really do not think she should hide from the world when she was heavily manipulated by the Britsh Press and blurted out things that were put in her mouth.
