Finally, after Mick interrupted one too many dates, Jerry changed the rules. By making the conscious decision to move on and do what is best for her, Jerry Hall is making her own mark.
If there is any constant in Fergie’s life now, it is her public identity vis-a-vis her children and ex-husband. Why else was she standing with Andrew in New York during last year's 9/11 commemoration ceremony?
The leak of her forced seating with the staff at the dinner demonstrates the court resistance to her continued association with the Windsors. The ubiquitous "grey men at the Palace" — the officious royal aides partly blamed by Sarah for the collapse of her relationship with Andrew — would have cheered her marrying her longtime boyfriend, the Italian count Gaddo della Gherardescain. They split in July 2001 and in 2004 Sarah publicly (and not for the first or last time) bemoaned the lack of romance in her life, revealing: "I'm still not dating anyone. It's been two and a half years."
But the marriage never transpired. Clearly, Sarah intends to stay the No. 1 woman in Andrew’s life, married or not.
2. The Ex is Popular: HRH Princess Muna al-Hussein in Jordan and HH Princess Alexandra of Denmark, Countess of Frederiksborg:
In her autobiography, Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan mentioned the difficulties encountered by a young, optimistic American in adjusting to life as consort to King Hussein II.
Alongside her new life as the King's consort, the woman formerly known as Lisa Halaby also had to confront a daunting new role as sister-in-law to the King's brother Crown Prince Hassan, stepmother to his eight children, and 'stepwife' to two of the monarch's previous wives.
Technically the King was a widower, having lost his third wife, the much loved Queen Alia, the daughter of a diplomatic Jordanian family and mother of three young children, following a tragic helicopter crash.
However, Hussein had two living ex-wives: his first divorced wife was a distant royal cousin, Princess Dina. His second wife, Antoinette Gardener, was barely out of her teens when she met the King during her time as a member of the film crew for Lawrence of Arabia. The couple, who had four children together, divorced after ten years of marriage.
Upon her marriage, Antoinette was known as Princess Muna al-Hussein ("dream of Hussein"). Unlike Queen Noor, she stayed away from the spotlight, preferring to concentrate instead on her children’s education. Such discretion earned Muna the respect of the people both during the marriage and after the divorce.
