The Duchess of York, who was married to Prince Andrew from 1986 to 1996, stormed out of a TV interview after being quizzed about the 'cash-for-access' scandal. Princess Beatrice and Eugenie's mother sat down for a trainwreck interview with 60 Minutes Australia host Michael Usher in 2011.
During the car crash interview, the Duchess walked off mid-interview, because she didn't like the line of questioning, before returning to speak to Michael. It appeared the interview started to go south when the Duchess was forced to watch recorded footage of her offering 'cash-for-access' services to her former husband Prince Andrew.
