Phoebe Knatchbull

[sunt lacrimae rerum]

I know that it has been about 5 years since people inquired about this
young lady. I happened to see that Philip Knatchbull has a Facebook
Page that is NOT private and he lists his children as follows:


Relationship Status:
Married to
Wendy Knatchbull

Children:
Daisy, 17 years
Phoebe, 15 years
Frederick, 7 years
Rocky, 5 years
Tom, 28 years

Current location:
London, United Kingdom

Has anyone ever heard of "Tom Knatchbull?" I don't believe that I
had.
I am not a "Facebook" stalker but I sometimes look up unusual names to
note their frequency.

My guess would be that Tom is either a natural child Philip sired when
he was young (about 21) or that one of his wives had a son Tom from a
previous relationship whom Philip adopted.
