Yes, it looks as if California makes a clear distinction between community and separate property, where separate property is defined as 'what you each own or owe individually from before you married or after you separated, and any gifts or inheritance'. I would interpret this to mean that any...

The Earl of Ulster served in the British Army from 1998 to 2008, and apparently now works for The Transnational Crisis Project, 'a unique, stateless social enterprise dedicated to developing transnational security strategies for governments around the world'.

It was a store on Shopify, which is still open, and has some rather strange content :) https://americanrivieraorchard.myshopify.com/

It will be interesting to watch what happens with the American Riviera Orchard name - if she is actually able to proceed with using it as planned, or if registration and patent issues force her to choose another name. It's honestly amazing to me that anyone would announce the launch of a named...

I assume this is because she has pulmonary fibrosis - a chronic lung disease - and doesn't want to breathe in germs or particles that could further compromise her respiratory health.

That wedding itinerary is making me tired just reading it. Not sure I'd have the energy to survive all that :) We stayed in Alesund for three nights at the start of a motorcycle tour that took us all the way to the North Cape. It's a beautiful town. The setting is absolutely stunning. We were...

People magazine is reporting that Prince Harry will make a solo trip to New York City during the UN General Assembly High-Level Week, which runs from September 23-27. He will be in New York to 'advance a number of patronages and philanthropic initiatives', and 'to further the work of The...

Prince Harry's biography, Spare will apparently be released in paperback on October 22nd (US and world) or 24th (UK). https://www.thebookseller.com/rights/prince-harrys-spare-to-be-published-in-paperback-this-autumn The paperback version will apparently have the same cover image as the...

The other thing I find exasperating about a lot of costume drama shows these days is the focus on sex, violence and shock value scenes at the expense of telling a good, serious, dramatic story. The recent series set at the court of James I - Mary and George - I should have loved that. But...

Many years ago, I worked in a job which often brought me into contact with young, wealthy, privileged people, and many of them suffered from what you describe here. They had more money and houses and toys and influence than most ordinary people could even dream of, but there was always someone...

I'm watching the men's 400m hurdles, where the reigning champion is Norwegian, and they panned to show Mette Marit applauding him from the box. Editing to add - the Norwegian took the silver...

Harry and Meghan will visit Colombia in November. The tour will take them to Bogota, Cartagena and Cali. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2024/08/01/prince-harry-meghan-visit-colombia-invite-vice-president/

As well as being Diana's brother-in-law, he was also Ronald Ferguson's first cousin, which made him first cousin once removed to the Duchess of York. I can only imagine how 'interesting' his job became through the late 80s and early 90s, given these family relationships. His memoirs would have...

The 2027 Invictus Games will be held in Birmingham: https://archive.md/jfcS7

That instagram message is throwing some serious shade, oh my...

I've been following Marlene one way or another since my early days on alt.talk.royalty. She's one of the most respected figures in the royal news business.

I quite agree. The presence of downvotes is why I largely avoid Reddit these days. People there will downvote you to oblivion merely for saying 'hello', it seems. And we are all Pavlovian creatures at heart - it is difficult for us not to alter our behaviour based on the disapproval or approval...

I would very much like to be able to access the Nobiliana forums, but they appear to be completely closed off these days - I am not able to even view them as a guest.

I have traced the link between the two brothers you mention and the groom at this wedding. It is very distant, as their common ancestor is Count Joseph von Matuschka (1764-1829), who married Baroness Ernestine von Strachwitz und Gross-Zauche (1765-1811) in 1785. Karl-Philip (1937) -> Richard...

The actor Sam Neill runs his own winery in New Zealand, and says he could never afford to run it if he didn't make money from film work. It's an expensive business, especially in the start-up years. But if Meghan is looking to attach her name to an established winery, that might be an easier route.

Here is an archived version of the Daily Mail article, for anyone who wishes to read it.

With the addition of a hat, a bow and a belt, it turns a 'dress' into an 'outfit'.

Whether it was deliberately planned or not, today does not strike me as a good day to reveal another product. Not given how dominant the coverage of Kate's appearance at the Trooping has been. IMO, it would have made more sense to do the reveal on a day when there wasn't some huge royal event...

I think you are right. Looking at photos from today, comparing them to the pre-coronation dress - they look identical to me.

Just saw a piece on my local news show about a fire at a restaurant in Maple Ridge near Vancouver in Canada. The owner of the restaurant is a man named Ed Auersperg, who I believe is Prince Eduard Viktor von Auersperg, born in Vancouver in 1958, married to Nancy Andrews in Maple Ridge in 1991...
