Now in a follow-up title " Catherine and Tilly : Porchey Carnarvon's Two Duped Wives" Cross will provide the compelling story of the two woman who were lured into marriage by Almina's only son, the outrageous Henry, 6th Earl of Carnarvon, dubbed 'Randy Carnarvon'
Among the many amazing facts the book will explain the following and much more
The quaint background and social standing of Catherine and Tilly
The family secrets of these two women
How Porchey lured Catherine and Tilly into marriage but continued countless other carnal affairs
The identity of the high placed admirers of Catherine and Tilly who tried to save them from self-harm and ruin
The tangled relationship Countess Almina had with her son and two daughters in law
The years of sorrow and anguish for Catherine and Tilly littered with tragedy
Using previously unpublished facts and testimony including the startling recollections of several people who knew Almina, Porchey, Catherine and Tilly, Cross spills the beans in a highly controversial narrative that will challenge any incomplete, romantised and inaccurate stories of Porchey's wives Catherine Wendell and Tilly Losch
Porchey was a cad but these two girls were certainly no angels
This is another book to rock the rafters at Highclere Castle and dent the old world Establishment
