Fergie, debt, and the bank that can't say no

Article Abstract:

The Duchess of York is believed to have an overdraft of 1 million pounds sterling with Coutts bank and 2 million pounds sterling in other debts. To some observers, this seems to confirm the belief that she is not fit to be a member of the royal family. A statement from the Queen indicates that the Duchess of York can expect no more financial support from that source. The scandal surrounding her has raised serious questions about the nature and practices of Coutts, which has permitted her to build up such a large overdraft.

The domestic economy of the Duchess

Article Abstract:

The Duchess of York has recently been reported to be experiencing financial problems, with the large sums of money she was expected to make from her 'Budgie the Helicopter' books, films and products not having materialised because of contract difficulties. However, many other single mothers would regard the Duchess of York as having an extremely comfortable lifestyle. She still employs staff, and is able to travel to exotic locations.
