"Lady Grania" at it again

Ahh, the latest missive from the faux Lady Grania ..

. the real issue is that I do know my history - and I know a lot more about Lady Iris than "Grania" does. The facts are plain to see. "Grania" just doesn't want to see them ... "hi marlene - having fun? you should know better- you are so arrogant where is that going to get you - no where! do some more homework -you are so lazy - or get off my case - are you a lesbian - you must be - you are enfatuated or bosonic about me - you cant stop talking about me - I am flattered- woh you have made me more famous - thank you keep it up my dear - your facts of my parents history is not correct - you are american i believe, i suggest you travel to england and dublin and spain to find out more about lady iris and hamilton - as about me you have not a clue you have made yourself a mocking stock - tatio - have fun - I certainly am having fun what you are writing about - regards grania commonly known as Lady Grania" Common ... indeed. 

My boyfriend thought one of her comments was absolutely hilarious. Let's look at several facts again. Lady Iris married Hamilton O'Malley in 1941. They separated shortly afterward. He went off to war, was a prisoner of war, and eventually returned to England by the end of 1945.

 Divorce proceedings were initiated by O'Malley -- and it was not easy to get a divorce in the 40s -- and the divorce was granted in July 1946. In January 1947, Hamilton O'Malley married Eleanor de Pentheny O'Kelly, known as Sadie. They had four sons and one daughter, Grania Mary. It is possible that "lady Grania" is actually Grania Mary O'Malley. Perhaps. "Lady Grania" claims she was born July 31, 1946, in France. 

Grania Mary O'Malley was born July 31, 1950. If Grania is indeed Grania Mary O'Malley, why would she want to add four years to her age? What normal woman adds years to the birth date? But one of the most important identifiers here -- that the story is false -- is the use of the courtesy title "Lady." 

Lady Iris was a commoner. She bore a courtesy title as the daughter of a marquess (a peer of the realm). This title "Lady", which precedes a Christian name is used in the English, Scottish, British, and United Kingdom peerages to denote daughters of dukes, marquesses and earls. The courtesy title is not inherited or transmitted to children. Thus when Lady Iris Mountbatten married Hamilton O'Malley, she became Lady Iris O'Malley. Children of the marriage would have had the surname O'Malley, not Mountbatten. 

 Lady Iris resumed her maiden name after her divorce. If "Lady Grania" ignores all the evidence, including official announcements in newspapers, about Lady Iris' life. It's all documented, but it is a shame that this impersonator is so deluded that she cannot cope with reality.

bosonic? She thinks you're a subatomic particle?

Interesting that the only words she will expend the effort to capitalize (or, apparently, spell-check) are her Own Purported Name.

I am not even sure why I got this latest blast (and I never respond). Perhap she is Hamilton's daughter by Sadie de Pentheny O'Kelly - she uses the same birthdate but added four years to her age ... although she looks far older than someone allegedly born in 1946 But she cannot get the point: Iris did not see Hamilton after 1942, certainly not by 1944. That marriage was over before it started. Moreover, the facts of his second marriage are also well documented, and the births of his children by his second wife.

I was in fact harrassed by her son after I found through one of the organisations I belong to that indeed it left questions. I posted to remove her from the organisation until she could produce substantiation of her lineage. Immediately the mediator suspended her membership and enforced a query. Her son then began sending rather polite letters at first bashing the others..in an "assumed" manner as if they were victims. I personally do not have proof one way or the other, but I dare say she is a subject of controversy. Having seen many maligned when in fact they are victims, I am always reticent to cast disperations. However, I would suspect all this could be put to rest if she would simply make a declaration in support of who she is..as we know the truth needs no defense and to that end, if she does not wish to defend herself properly, then she should be conducting herself as the "Lady" she claims to be. It is all quite vulgur.

Her statements certainly aren't very "Lady"-like. She seems quite delusional!

hi marlene and marlene supporters and genealogists - I assume you have now looked at my family tree maker genealogy site - as you are so quiet!!

I note 'Grania' makes claim to be 15th in line for the Throne.Here is the official list, can someone lend me a pair of glasses as I can't find her.
These days her websites are getting cheekier, now pronouncing on a Noble Order of Mountbatten which she controls as head of the House of Mountbatten. Despite her delusions I don't find her funny at all. I think she's dangerous in making a mockery of the Royal Household.Time the Mountbatten heirs did something about her and the ridiculous claims she makes. It always gives me pleasure to get her kicked off as site and to help educate her friends on facebook.

The "Lady Grania Mountbatten" is a thoroughly debunked fraud.

Yes, JC I know. I was the one who first outed her as I happen to know Lady Iris' son. If you use the search box, you will find I wrote numerous pieces on Grania. Even reported her to the Home office for lying on her passport.
