They separated shortly after the marriage due to Iris's alleged infidelity, and were already divorced when Grania claims she was born.

Whoever this &qu...Thank you again for writing this! Whoever this "Grania" con artist is, she really needs to get a life. She claims her thug sons have certain titles, inherited through Iris and O'Malley. What a joke!<br /><br />I knew Iris well for many years here in Toronto. She specifically told me that because O'Malley was Catholic, to marry him she had to sign away her distant connection to the throne, an accurate and pertinent fact that this con hasn't even bothered to check. And for gawd sakes, Iris married young, but certainly not during George III's or V's reign. She was only 16 when Edward VIII came to the throne! As a teenager she was a train bearer for Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) when her husband Bertie was crowned King at the coronation in 1937. She married during George VI's reign, in 1941, but left O'Malley a year or so later.<br /><br />Iris was a great dame, so much fun to know and to be with... I wish this idiot would stop besmirching Iris's legacy.Boulevardièrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10866616680776432509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-29255096331951844372014-01-17T14:05:18.247-05:002014-01-17T14:05:18.247-05:00Thanks for sharing this.

She was a very sweet, very funny lady with some amazing stories to recount.<br /><br />I spent a number of years as her friend when she lived at both her house at Inglewood and Welland in Rosedale, and then at her townhouse in High Park.<br /><br />After the fire in her townhouse, she was actually in another apartment in the Avenue Road, St. Clair area for some time before her final illness.<br /><br />Sadly, she developed a cancerous brain tumour. Poor lady. It must have been very painful. <br /><br />I was at her memorial at St. Paul's on Bloor St. E., and attended the wake afterwards. Her son Robin was distraught.your_vamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743199731665144917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-41877565414564096602009-11-28T23:07:52.338-05:002009-11-28T23:07:52.338-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299818121144182146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-20469409320218009472009-02-01T08:03:00.000-05:002009-02-01T08:03:00.000-05:00She's has lots of friends on Facebook - and I wond...She's has lots of friends on Facebook - and I wonder how many realize she is a fraud.
