"A lifestyle app backed by Sarah Ferguson received more than £1m of taxpayers' money but collapsed without ever launching a product, according to documents filed this week.

vVoosh was founded by Manuel Fernandez, a close friend of Ms Ferguson, who once described herself as an "ambassador" for the company and was an investor.

It promised to give users "the power to Find, Plan, Share, Live, and Remember all the things you love to do - and those you're yet to try."

Ms Ferguson and Mr Fernandez did not respond to requests for comment.

vVoosh was put into administration last month - and its failure will raise further questions about the judgement of the former duchess and the business relationships she pursued"

".........Ms Ferguson, 66, lost her duchess title when her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, relinquished use of his Duke of York title over his links with Epstein. He has since been stripped of the title of prince as well.

Last month it emerged that a crypto-currency mining firm had agreed to pay her up to £1.4m for acting as a "brand ambassador" - that firm also failed, allegedly costing investors millions. Its co-founder denied misconduct and said he was working to repay backers. "
