A French millionaire has bitterly attacked the Duchess of York after learning she had splashed out £5m to buy a house in Mayfair.
Isabelle de Rouvre has been involved in a long running financial dispute over a Swiss chalet with Fergie and ex husband Prince Andrew.
De Rouvre said the news that the duchess had purchased a property for £5m was "incredible and unbelievable" because she believed she "didn't have a penny".
