You make good points.
Someone tried to pump the "sold" story on Wikipedia.
That's all I noted. :)
Okay, I admit to being an Anglophile, a history buff since a small child, and probably know more about some topics than others here do; however, this was SO glaringly idiotic, nobody should have fallen for it; not even those with no knowledge of the UK ROYALS, history, etc.!
Thanks for checking!
