NEW YORK - The Duchess of York today embarks on a new career as a newspaper columnist with a moving account of a journey to her stepfather's Argentinian roots and an admiring nod to another celebrity mother.
"With Madonna herself three rows away from me, I could hardly have found the London premiere of Evita anything but exciting," the duchess confides at the start of her first weekly column for the New York Times Syndicate. So far the column has been bought by newspapers in the US, Australia, Chile, Finland, Portugal Mexico, South Africa and Italy.
