Thank you for this. A little confused though. You say she was born in October 1989 and then post an article to Tatler, for her 18th birthday that is dated for August 2011? Is the Tatler one the same individual? As there is definitely an Alice born in the fall of 1989, in the location you say? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe date of the article is when Tatler put it on the website -- it happened several years earlier .. the same year, they also posted Lady Olivia's 21st birthday party as well
ReplyDeleteI wondered if that might be it. Thank you.
