A Turkish court has said that it intends to Prosecute the Duchess of York for secretly filming Orphans for a documentary. The documentary was for ITV Television, which aired in 2008. She is being accused of breaking the law while getting the footage and violating the privacy of the five children. She wore a disguise when she went into the orphanage to get the footage, which was of children that were tied to their beds and left there all day. At the time that the documentary aired, Turkey, who was trying to gain membership of the EU, claimed that she was trying to run a "smudge" campaign against them. If she were to be convicted, she could face up to twenty- two years in prison. It is not known why it took three years for any charges to be brought up against her, or if there have been any requests to formally extradite her. She has not commented on the issue.
