Esteemed Readers,

Got a fun one for you debunkers and super sleuths.

Seems there's a new television show premiering in the US called
"Secret Princes" (TLC channel). It reports that four "international
royals" will be looking for love by going undercover State-side. Some
of the "titles" are entirely foolish but others may need a bit of
digging. Either way, it could be fun. So.....let's find out who these
guys really are!

http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/tv/secret-princes/about-secret-princes.htm

Prince Francisco of Spain: Royal House of Borbon and Hardenberg; 33
years old; direct descendent of German and Spanish royalty; had
privileged childhood surrounded by servants, living in castles and
traveling/mingling with Sean Connery and Michael Jackson.

Prince Salauddin Babi of India: Balasinor Royal Family in Gujarat,
India; 32 years old; unable to go out in India without an entourage;
parents have begun arranged marriage process.

Lord Robert Walters: Lord of the Manor of Fullwood, United Kingdom; 29
years old; prestigious bloodline can be traced back to King Henry
VIII; underwear model who has fronted campaigns for Calvin Klein and
Tommy Hilfiger.

Honourable Ludovic Watson of Houghton Hall: United Kingdom; 23 years
old; attended the esteemed Oundle boarding school; enjoys hunting,
shooting and fishing; has home in London’s plush West End.

Son of the Duke of Seville and Countess Beatrice Von Hardenberg - Fürstenberg. Distantly related to the Spanish Royal Family.

Rubbish. No such person as 'Lord' Robert Walters. Buying a Lordship of the Manor doesn't make you a lord. He's a fake..

Watson is the younger son of the 4th Baron Manton. Hardly a 'prince'. Oundle is a good school, but esteemed...?

They're not "fake" if they didn't personally claim to hold princely titles. If they've had priviledged upbringings, then they can be called "princes" the same way Paris Hilton can be called a princess.

Anyway these dupes can hardly be held responsible for the blurbs of reality TV producers -- who aren't known to be scrupulous with reality.
