From the National Alliance for the Restoration of the Monarchy (ANRM)
Perhaps some of my long-time readers will remember my outing of Grania O'Malley, a delusional 65-year-old woman, who has been trying to convince courts, lawyers, and others that she is Lady Grania Mountbatten, the only daughter of Lady Iris Mountbatten and her first husband, Hamilton O'Malley-Keyes.
[To get caught up, type Grania in the search box, and you will find my postings going back to 2009 when I outed Grania.]
The woman is mentally ill, yet she is able to waste British taxpayers' money with her many court filings, trying to claim money from Lady Iris's marriage settlement from her first marriage. Memo to Grania: there is no money. Lady Iris died in near poverty.

Steeped in nostalgia, influencer culture has reclaimed 1990s and 2000s fashions as its own, but there are many vintage names left to rediscover. Having dug deep into it, here are the five designers I dream of seeing relit by the paparazzi flare this Sunday.
