'Fergie, please keep your clothes on'
LONDON
ONE British newspaper yesterday launched a campaign to urge controversial British royal Sarah Ferguson to stay clothed following news that she is to pose for a charity book wearing only a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and jewellery.
A readers' petition - entitled Keep 'em on, Fergie - was the Sun's swift response to the decision by the former daughter-in-law of Queen Elizabeth.
According to the spokesman for the Duchess of York, she will appear nude but for some Cartier jewels and a pair of designer shoes for a charity book being produced to help an Aids charity.
Money raised from sales of the book Four Inches will be donated to the Elton John Aids Foundation, reported BBC News.
The book - which takes its title from the height of the heels worn by the models - will be out early next year.
Among other big names thought to be posing for shots are models Kate Moss and Rachel Hunter, and actresses Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Lara Flynn-Boyle. Fashion photographer Pamela Hanson is taking the pictures.
The Sun, Britain's best-selling daily paper, printed cut-out coupons in Saturday's edition which it urged readers to sign and send to the Duchess, care of her public relations agency.
'Dear Fergie,' they read, 'please, please don't inflict your naked pictures on the world'.
Ferguson married Prince Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth, in 1986, and although they divorced 10 years later the couple remain good friends.
She has endured a distinctly rocky relationship with the British tabloid press, which has regularly castigated her for a sometimes haphazard dress sense, various money-making enterprises and an occasionally dubious choice of friends. -- AFP
