Multi-faceted Sarah Ferguson, whose career has included writing books, flying helicopters and hosting a TV show, is now set to pose for the cameras clad only in strategically-placed Cartier jewels and a pair of Jimmy Choo designer shoes.
The flame-haired Duchess, formerly married to the Queen's son Prince Andrew, is among several famous women to be photographed nude for a book whose proceeds will benefit Elton John's AIDS Foundation.
Pictures of the Duchess, who turned 45 last Friday, will appear alongside similarly revealing shots of actress Lara Flynn-Boyle and models Kate Moss and Rachel Hunter.
Mother-of-two and tireless charity campaigner Sarah was spotted last week with Prime Minister Tony Blair’s wife Cherie at an event in aid of the anti-child abduction charity PACT. She also recently made headlines by donating her £250,000 appearance fee on the hit reality TV show I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here! to the Children in Crisis charity.
