Si, y no estaría equivocado, después de todo el padre se desligó y la madre tuvo que luchar mucho con su salón de belleza, en la Australia de esa época, que supongo habrá sido un lugar difícil.
Por eso cae tan mal la pobre. A cierta gente, por esnobismo invertido. A los de su propia "clase", por darse una importancia que, relativamente, no tiene. La verdad, la pobre no cae bien a casi nadie.
Pero algunos de los motes son muy divertidos. El de 'Princess Pushy' esta muy visto, pero a quienquiera que se le ocurriese lo de 'Rent-a-Kent' deberian darle un premio.

Since her husband does not hold a title of nobility, like her brother in law the Duke of Kent, Marie-Christine, therefore, is styled HRH Princess Michael of Kent, the feminine form of her husband’s name.
3. Princess Michael stands 6 ft tall, making her the tallest member of the British Royal Family, excluding male members, of course.
4. Princess Michael has authored four books: Crowned in a Far Country, Cupid and the King, The Serpent and The Moon: two rivals for the love of a Renaissance king, and The Queen Of Four Kingdoms.
5. Princess Michael was born Baroness Marie Christine Anna Agnes Hedwig Ida.

Her father was Baron Günther Hubertus von Reibnitz a cavalry officer of the German Empire during the First World War. Her mother was Countess Maria Anna Carolina Franziska Walpurga Bernadette Szapáry, a member of the Hungarian nobility. From her mother’s side, she is the grand-daughter of Princess Hedwig von Windisch-Graetz. Her maternal grandfather, Count Friedrich Szapáry von Muraszombath, Széchysziget und Szapár, was a diplomat, who served as the ambassador of Austria-Hungary in Saint Petersburg at the start of World War I.
7. Princess Michael is a working royal. She is an author, a lecturer, an art connoisseur at Galerie Gmurzynska in Switzerland, and runs her own interior design company.
8. Princess Michael's first husband was the English banker Thomas Troubridge, the younger brother of Sir Peter Troubridge, 6th Baronet.
