[edit] education

Raine de Chambrun has rather formidable educational and work credits. Why no mention of these? Besides being fluent in Japanese and a graduate of the LSE, there are others. If I can gather all of this info. shall I add it to the article? ----Ashley Rovira 20:41, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Reference to a single author website does not constitute a satisfactory citation. --Westminsterboy 22:36, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

It should be noted that per Cowley v. Cowley a the ex-wife of a peer does not lose the ability to style herself by her marital title in the accepted form for an ex-wife. Raine could continue to style herself as Raine, Countess of Dartmouth or Raine, Countess Spencer if she wanted.

Queen Brandissima

In Cowley v Cowley the House of Lords refused Lord Cowley an injunction restraining his divorced and remarried wife from continuing to style herself as Lady Cowley on the grounds that this was a matter of social convention and not a legal question. --Westminsterboy 23:10, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Surname

Is there any indication that she legally resumed the surname Spencer (I am not talking about the title here at the moment) after her divorce from Chambrun? This is entirely possible; my mother, for instance, retrieved, legally, by deed poll, her previous surname upon divorcing a later husband. Raine can certainly call herself Raine, Countess Spencer, per accepted social convention though obviously not from a legal standpoint. But what is her LEGAL surname? That should be the title of this article if it can be proved. It is entirely possible that she dropped Chambrun and retrieved Spencer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.80.111.132 (talk) 23:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] VOTE FOR MOVE

I would like to make a suggestion that the article be moved to RAINE SPENCER rather than RAINE DE CHAMBRUN. She appears to have legally retrieved the surname Spencer, though obviously not the title, and therefore the article should be RAINE SPENCER, with a mere notation in the text that she prefers to use her previous style.72.80.111.132 (talk) 23:28, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
