Blackmailed British Royal Outed

Not Harry or William (Follow Up)

— October 31, 2007 — World
Earlier this week we posted on the Royal blackmail scandal but were unable to unveil the identity of the family member involved, but now we can. He is the Queen's nephew, the Viscount Linley.

He is the son of the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret and her husband, English photographer Lord Snowdon Linley. His real name is David Armstrong-Jones and he is the chairman of Christie's auction house and a highly successful furniture and interior design manufacturer whose clients have included Elton John, Oprah Winfrey, and Mick Jagger according to RADAR. British jouralists are not allowed to publicize the Royal's name so it is up to the foreign press to get the truth out.

Check out the post where we broke the news:
Trend Themes
1. Royal Blackmail Scandal - A trend involving the exposure and revelation of scandals involving members of royal families, presenting an opportunity for increased transparency and accountability within monarchy systems.
2. Celebrity Clientele in Furniture Design - A trend where furniture manufacturers and interior designers attract high-profile clients, leading to greater exposure and prestige for their brands. This trend presents an opportunity for manufacturers to showcase their products to a wider audience and expand their customer base.
3. Foreign Press Influence - A trend that highlights the role of foreign press in revealing sensitive information and breaking news that domestic journalists may be restricted from reporting, potentially leading to a more globalized and interconnected media landscape.
Industry Implications
1. Auction Houses - The auction house industry, represented by companies like Christie's, can leverage the success and reputation of chairman David Armstrong-Jones (Viscount Linley) to attract more high-profile clients and generate increased revenue.
2. Interior Design - The interior design industry has the opportunity to capitalize on the exposure gained from high-profile clients like Elton John, Oprah Winfrey, and Mick Jagger, which can lead to enhanced credibility, brand recognition, and potential collaborations with other celebrities.
3. Media and Journalism - The media and journalism industry, particularly in foreign press, can exploit the demand for breaking news and scandal revelations involving notable figures like members of the British Royal family, leading to increased readership, audience engagement, and revenue through international coverage.
