Britain's Sarah Ferguson has accepted an award in Hollywood for her charity work amid a swirl of scandal.
US television footage of the gala event showed Ferguson as she accepted the award from the Variety International group, despite the media storm around her back home in Britain.
Ferguson in brief remarks at the soiree confessed late on Sunday to having had 'quite a heavy day,' after the News of the World went public with its story of having set up the duchess
'I hate grown ups, and I love children. Thank you very much,' she said as she accepted her award at the Hollywood event, without directly alluding to the payola scandal which has become huge news on both side of the Atlantic.
Ferguson, who divorced from Queen Elizabeth II's second son in 1996, apologised Sunday for a 'serious lapse in judgment' after the release of the film footage.
The video released by News of the World shows Sarah promising to provide a reporter posing to be a businessman extensive access to Prince Andrew in exchange for STG500,000 ($A874,584).
