That twenty minute sex attack by the Earl of Strathmore probably felt like hours to his poor victim. It?s especially shaming because the Strathmores have always had an excellent reputation in Scotland.

Fiona, Lady Carnarvon is not his ex-wife as the video states. She is in fact his sister in law. She is married to his older brother George (George's second wife and mother of his youngest son).

Herbert was married previously but to Francesca Bevan. Though he does indeed have three children with his ex, just wrong woman. Their children, 2 daughters and a son, range from 22-27 this year.


Unlike Fiona, neither of Harry's wives have lived at Highclere. They live at Broadspear house, which is a cottage on the estate though.

Clodaugh has made use of the plentiful gardens at her new home with Harry for her business.

I have seen an article that claims the tiara belongs to the groom's great aunt. But its not the same tiara (both fringe but very different).

It seems more likely the rumors are correct and the tiara belongs to the bride's family.


The reception was held at Palermo Palace and there was a ball to follow.

The bride converted to catholic last year in the Vatican.The celebrant was Cardinal M?ller, Grand Prior of the Constantinian Order & Cardinal Mamberto, who is the prefect of the Apostolic Segnatura. There was even a letter from the Pope read.


The bride Lady Charlotte is the youngest of five children of the 16th Earl of Lindsay. She is the third sibling to marry (her 2 older sisters are, her 2 brothers including a twin are not). She works as an assistant vice president on the trading floor of Citibank in London.

Queen's childhood friend dies aged 97: Monarch loses another loyal aide as Lady Myra Butter dies | Daily Mail Online

Lady Myra befriended Princess Elisabeth when they were both in the same Girl Guide Troop.

QuoteSpeaking to The Telegraph in 2021, she revealed how she got to know the Queen as a child, saying: '[Buckingham Palace] They got hold of some girls to be part of the thing to make it more fun.

'In the Guides and the Brownies it was a real mixture, which was really nice, some friends, friends of [the family], and all the people in the Royal mews, their children, they were Brownies and Guides. Just a normal sort of pack really.'

And Lady Butter was also in the 1st Buckingham Palace Company of Girl Guides with the Queen, when it launched in 1937. The Queen was in the Kingfisher patrol, Lady Butter in Robin.

Sad for HM. However, unfortunately, when people get into their nineties it becomes usual for friends and relatives known for decades to begin to pass. People in general live to a greater age now than they once did but it?s still common for those within hailing distance of their century to be without spouses, similar aged siblings and close friends.
