This has to be one of the bitchiest obits I have ever read in my life, and hilariously funny to boot. "Princesse Ghislaine de Polignac, who has died aged 92, was the former wife of Prince Edmond de Polignac, and more than once survived crises that would have consigned a less determined person to social ostracism."

Amazing what a difference money and rich connections make....if she lived in a trailer park, she’d have been a skank......

She probably wrote it herself and left it with her solicitor to be published upon her demise.

“if she lived in a trailer park, shed have been a skank......”
That would have been a great last sentence of her obituary had anyone the guts to include it.

Her comment about Dubrovnik didn’t make sense—maybe she just didn’t know much about what was then Yugoslavia. Dubrovnik’s population is almost all Croatian, so her idea that if you want to commit suicide, go to Dubrovnik and say “I’m Croat” and that will inspire someone to shoot you is nuts.

Sounds like she was always in the eye of the storm, doesn't it?
People like this are often good to know, but are rarely good to be friends with.

Wonder what the French world for “skank” is.

She’s probably in shock. That was the era when pretty well brought up young women with no life experience were married off to older men with titles. They had little say in the marriage and often were starry eyed at the idea of a title. The reality was they were traded to her money for the connection and title and were only intended to produce heirs while the husband went on with his life and affairs either with other women or men.
I have always felt sorry for young women of that time even the ones who seemingly had everything often had very little.

Pero puta significa “prostitute.” There is a difference between a prostitute and a skank.

or men
I wouldn't be surprised. I would suspect that many of those little boys in boarding schools were sexually abused by the older boys and/or the staff and then grew up to be homosexuals themselves.
