[Next Star]

I remember one day I was surfing the web and came across a webpage of a woman who claimed to be the long lost child of Edward,Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson.I am not convince of her story and she is not titled at all.

She wouldn't be titled, even if she was his daughter.

She would proably be a Lady at best and that's a courtsey title.Her story still seems vague to me.

[Zonk]

Yes, I believe she would a Lady as the daughter of a duke. But thats about it.

I think every couple of years there is a rollout of a story of someone being the child of the Windsors.

[Lumutqueen]

Well I could calm myself a lady and probably get away with it.
I've read quite a few partially convincing ones, but if they had a kid I don't see how or why they would keep it a secret.

[Zonk]

I am not sure what you are referencing.

NextStar asked if the Duke had a daughter would she have a title. And I said, yes. She would be Lady Blank Windsor.

[Lumutqueen]

NextStar said "that's not consider a title either", which is why I agreed by saying I could claim to be a Lady.

But I don't understand why they would keep a daughter or even a son, secret?

[Next Star]

I edited my previous post Lady is a formal and courtsey title.
And I don't believe the late Duke and late Duchess of Windsor would hide a child none of those people are their children.

[Zonk]

I don't believe that they would hide a child as well.

I believe that David was in fact sterile as a result of measles/mumps when he was a child. So the chances of him fathering a child are supposed to be nil.

It just like the person who every couple of years swears he is the child of Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend.

Zonk, weren't there rumors that Wallis was as well? She was married three times and never conceived as far as I know---or! speculation here as the woman had it swirling about her--was there a child with the 1st husband and a botched abortion? Or am I thinking Coco Chanel?

[Zonk]

I never heard about the botched operation. And I am not a fan of Coco Chanel so I don't know to much about her. I could have at least watched the Lifetime movie...... I know the horror

I believe there was some speculation about Wallis but no proof. And since Ernest fathered a child with the third wife, Mary...one assumes it wasn't him. Didn't the first husband have a child with wife number 3 as well?

Oh! I simply ADORE Chanel! I forgive you for not liking her.
Chanel had an abortion with her first lover, what's his name--the titled guy. Boy Capel came afterwards. And that (abortion) messed her up with Ben D'or (was that the Duke of Westminster? Or Wellington?). Now I did read that Wallis first husband Warfield drank and hit her. So I don't know if she had one to spare herself having the child or not. I intertwine these two women because I read their bio.'s about the same time as Wallis was fond of Chanel couture. So I might very well be mixing them up as Russo hasn't read their bio.'s in about 15 years so we're working with fuzzy memory here.

Have there been any new claims of secret 'royal heir/ess' status? If so, what is their (more than unlikely) story?

Conman who posed as ‘Tengku’ held
A man who posed as a member of a royal family and duped more than 40 people of their cash and valuables in various business scams has been arrested. The con man, “Tengku” or better known as “Tengku Razali”, 28, who also claimed he was a lawyer, was nabbed after he cheated a kuih seller on Aug 11.
Police arrested “Tengku” days after he conned the kuih seller by claiming that he could obtain a business opportunity to supply cakes to the palace whenever there was an occasion.

Royal imposters usually create drama with the royal family , which is one thing that royals like to avoid as much as possible.

[Warren]

Royal imposters these days are generally quickly unmasked and exposed.

[nascarlucy]

Today it's not as easy to be a royal imposter as it was years ago. This however, hasn't stopped people from trying.

[Warren]

Here in the Forums the claims of would-be royals of one sort or another (and we've had quite a few) tend to be swiftly debunked by our very knowledgeable members.

What about Lady Grania Mary Mountbatten? Lol
