Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Charles Francis Topham de Vere Beauclerk, Earl of Burford (born 22 February 1965) is the eldest son and heir apparent of the Duke of St Albans. From 29 December 1994 to 2001 he was married to Canadian actress and pop singer, Louise Ann Robey. From that marriage he has one son, James Malcolm Aubrey Edward de Vere Beauclerk, Lord Vere of Hanworth (born 2 August 1995). In 1999, Beauclerk first encountered fame during a debate on the House of Lords Act 1999 concerning the amendment of voting rights for hereditary peers. After listening to the debate while seated on the first step of the Throne, as is his right as the eldest son of a peer, Beauclerk leapt to his feet, crossed the floor of the House, stood on the Woolsack (the Speaker''s seat in the House of Lords) and declared the bill treason to the life and culture of Britain. As a result, he received the additional distinction of being banned for life from the Palace of Westminster. Subsequently, he stood as the first ever candidate for the Democratic Party at the 1999 Kensington and Chelsea by-election (which, as the safest of seats for the Conservatives, was won as expected by Michael Portillo).
