Re：QUOTES Date Posted：2025-05-19 11:54:32Copy HTML "What family doesn't have its ups and downs?" (Eleanor of Aquitaine in The Lion in Winter) I just read an article, which may be old news to you Mark and Major, that the Earl of Yarmouth just lost a Court battle to gain control of his family's estate. The suit was against the Trustees of the Estate but the Earl's parents and his siblings came in on the side of the Trustees. The family are the indirect descendants of Jane Seymour. The story sounded a little parallel to Harry's issues with his family. The Earl is not opposed to reconciliation with his family as well.

Re：QUOTES Date Posted：2025-05-20 05:27:13Copy HTML This was in the Daily Telegraph a few weeks ago. He is William Seymour the son and heir of the 9th Marquess of Hertford descended from Jane Seymour's brother Edward, Duke of Somerset who was Regent for the boy King Edward VI in the 1540s. The dispute centres around the Ragley Hall estate in Warwickshire and is yet another example of a family feud being aired through the Courts. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Mark knows more about these people’s ancestry than they do |

Re：QUOTES Date Posted：2025-05-20 03:10:40Copy HTML I noticed a few years ago a growing trend among wealthy young people who didn't have control over that wealth to seek emancipation from their parents as young as 16 because of money. It seemed to be more prevalent in "new money" cases, but I guess "old money" has its impetuous youth as well.
