Follow both the Manchesters

Alex kicked Laura, his duchess out. Laura told me she was heading to Michigan to change her life and take up her real identity. I told her I would stop exposing her. Then, she attacked me again. Bad move, Laura. I learned long ago, in fact from my former husband who hosted the "Duke and Duchess" at the Biltmore in Montecito in 2011. On that occasion Craig Franklin they could make a tidy income from their attempts to terrorize, libel and slander me. I forgave Laura several times - but never again. It is not safe to forgive those without a conscience.

So, in an informal way I follow her attempts to convert her title into cash and provide accurate information about her and her husband, Duke Alex.

Craig wanted me dead to remove the possibility I would interfere in his incestuous designs on our daughters. More on Craig Franklin

This is the original blogsite. Laura put up one herself using blogspot to misrepresent herself, or perhaps this is just the best she could do. Doxie (a word she had to look up in the dictionary. Once she read the highly accurate definition she was a trifle annoyed. But a Doxie she is.) better describes her ethics. That is HERE

Also see this cute little attempt to reposition herself. Stage32.com The photo has to be from her early 20's.

More on Manchesters

As you read through the sites below you will see references to sites where Laura spends her time posting historical information on the honorable history of the Manchesters. The family lost their wealth several generations ago and today the Duke lives on a tiny stipend which barely supports a lower middle class life style.

This is pathetic, not because they lost their wealth, that happens to people who are honorable every day.

However, to focus on the past instead of attempting to restore the family's honor is sad beyond belief.

For Alex, projecting a semblance of past wealth and stature is necessary for continuing his career as a con-artist. Alex has lived on converting the reputation of his ancestors to money, goods, and services extracted under false pretenses most of his life.

For Laura, the motive is her wish to be someone who matters.

The only things which mean anything to Laura are wealth and status, to which she, herself, has no claim except for her marriage to Alexander.

Today Laura is in her early 50s, a sad and aging woman with nothing in her life but fantasies from someone else's past.

When you read her sites remember this and pray for her. Her relationship with Alexander, 13th Duke of Manchester has cost her everything in life that lasts - and matters.
