Not quite, no - their children are fourth cousins. The 'removed' part of a cousin description only applies when there is an unequal number of generations from the common ancestor. So, Beatrice and Eugenie are Ralph's third cousins once removed, but his children's fourth cousins. This article...

They are third cousins, yes. William -> Herbert -> Marian -> Ronald -> Sarah William -> John -> Walter -> Elizabeth -> Ralph This page will let you trace the descent to Sarah and Ralph through the 6th Duke's two sons, Herbert and John.

I would say Baron Downpatrick as well, but he seems to be a committed bachelor...

Google tells me the 'most divorced' British peer is John Wodehouse, 4th Earl of Kimberley (1924-2002), who was married six times in total, and divorced five times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wodehouse,_4th_Earl_of_Kimberley Lord Wodehouse's final marriage took place when he was 58, and...

The version I favour is a quote from Ian Fleming - once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action...

Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer and his third wife, Karen, have announced they are divorcing. The couple married in 2011, and have apparently been separated since March. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13509355/charles-spencer-sad-divorce-wife-memoir.html

Earl Spencer and his third wife are apparently divorcing. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13509355/charles-spencer-sad-divorce-wife-memoir.html Their relationship apparently broke down 'amid the strain of writing his harrowing memoir detailing the physical and sexual abuse he suffered...

That's how I feel about the dress as well - I don't like it at all. It's just too flimsy and thin. I think it would have looked much better in a thicker material. I also agree about the hairstyle aging her - it's rather severe.

The article claims 'Meghan will likely officially launch American Riviera Orchard later this spring'. But we are nearing the end of the first week of June - there is no 'later this spring' left.

I don't understand why she launched ARO without having a CEO and a chef in place. Surely, that's the first thing you arrange when starting up a company like this? It is all so messy and disorganized.

I personally don't mind if Meghan spends a lot of money on clothes. The funds are hers, to use as and how she wishes. If she chooses to use them on expensive clothing, is that really any business of mine? Saying that, there are definitely optics to consider for these kinds of trips. Especially...

I just saw the speculation about that. I will feel sorry for everyone involved if it is - to have it cancelled again, at such short notice. That would be extremely frustrating.

Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles and Queen Camilla will postpone engagements 'which may appear to divert attention or distract from the election campaign'. This in response to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announcing a General Election for July 4...

One interesting thing about the delinquency - any donations Archewell has received in the meantime will not be considered tax-protected. So Archewell would have to declare them for tax purposes, and pay appropriate taxes on them. The error was relatively minor, and by all accounts, extremely...

The suit is lovely, and looks great on her. A thumbs up from me.

Bare back and shoulders does not seem appropriate to me. Especially for a daytime visit to a school in a conservative country. Although, even if they were doing a day event in Denmark or the Netherlands, I would probably say the same thing.

It will not, as the UK does not impose a residency requirement to be eligible. Harry will be in the LoS until the day he dies, unless the British government passes new legislation to redefine how the LoS works, or the monarchy is abolished.

That's very sad for Nikolaos and Tatiana. But it sounds as if the separation will not be acrimonious.

An article in The Daily Mail indicates the government has spent 514,000 pounds. Harry will now have to cover 462,000 of that, as well as his own fees. He apparently has the right to approach the Court of Appeal directly, but one would hope he chooses not to do so, for the sake of his bank...

Has there been any mention of what the 90% costs will be? Quite a chunk, I suspect, especially on top of Harry's own legal fees.

According to this article in The Daily Mail, "the full outline of Meghan's new brand will become clear very soon, with sources saying that it will go live in early to mid-April". I don't know exactly what 'go live' means. Presumably 'offer products for purchase'? Time will tell soon enough.

Not sure if he'll outright apologize, but between this news and Rose issuing a 'cease and desist', you have to hope he recognizes it's time to drop the topic and quietly move on.

And it turns out, THIS is why William pulled out of the memorial service. Because she had just received the news that the cells were cancerous.

My jaw literally dropped when I read the headline. "When sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions."

Now there is news breaking that someone at the hospital allegedly attempted to access Kate's medical records without authorization. I really hope this isn't true. And that somebody is held to account if it is. It doesn't matter who you are in life - medical confidentiality should be guaranteed.
