Budge over, I'm the REAL Fergie

Will the real Fergie please stand up? The two namesakes came face-to-face for the first time at a charity concert in New York last night.

The Duchess of York was representing the Sarah Ferguson Foundation when she met Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, who was performing.

The Fergies were launching the third annual Cipriani Wall Street Concert Series, which runs for seven days at the restaurant, to raise money for Unicef and the Duchess's charity.

And they have more in common than one might think. Black Eyed Pea Fergie's first solo album is called The Dutchess.

Are they peas in a pod?
