Duchess' new partner
Aug 29, 2006, 13:58 GMT
The new business partner of Britain's Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has raised £5 million for her latest ventures.
Investment banker J. Todd Morley is said to be extremely impressed with Sarah's business ideas and has launched himself into her projects, offering financial and professional guidance.
However, since Sarah started her collaboration with the married tycoon, rumours have surfaced about a secret romance between the pair. Speculation was sparked after the flame-haired royal and the 45-year-old father-of-three were spotted together on several occasions. The pair have denied having an affair and Sarah's representatives have emphasised the flamboyant businessman's friendship with the duchess is purely professional. Howard Rubenstein, Sarah's New York publicist, said: 'Their relationship is strictly professional and for anyone to insinuate anything else would be false, defamatory and libellous. 'It is absolutely normal for them to be appearing in public places for a drink or a sandwich as he is quite active in representing her as an adviser.' Sarah - the ex-wife of Prince Andrew - has earned a reputation of enjoying the company of wealthy American men. Her relationship with former American financial guru Johnny Bryan hit the headlines after photographs of him sucking her toes were published in the press.Copyright 2006 BANG Media International
