Talk:Hamish Bowles

Removing vandalism
The final paragraph read "(Bowles) recently gave away socialite Maddeh Thorp at her wedding in Slovakia, to the Count van der Smythe-Hilton." I believe this unsourced claim to be fiction, if not vandalism. There is no such person, not to mention the nonsensicality of a Dutch surname prefix ("van der" -- "from the") preceding a British surname ("Count from the Smythe-Hilton"?!). Of course, there is no mention of any "Smythe-Hilton" in Debrett's, much less in the Almanach de Gotha. And a Google search of "Smythe-Hilton" and of "Maddeh Thorp" both turn up just a half-dozen hits, all of them resolving to this entry. Consequently, I've removed the claim.
