I note that he was charged in 2024, that the offences are alleged to have taken place in Woodstock, that Blenheim Palace is in Woodstock and that Wikipedia says that the Duke and Duchess separated in 2024. All purely coincidental I'm sure.

The court hearing has been adjourned until January, but legal papers show that the charges do indeed relate to alleged offences against his estranged wife Edla, Duchess of Marlborough. Here they are in happier times:

He didn't just look the part, he lived the part all the way into the gutter. Millions of people grow up with nothing at all but still make themselves become assets to their community. Jamie Blandford had every possible advantage in life yet did the complete opposite. One positive thing I can say about him is that, along with assistance from Randy Andy, he has helped to demolish the fantasy that breeding, being from a 'good' family, counts for anything at all. Obviously not.

There is probably a common factor. They grew up with parents (probably mothers) who never said no

In that price range they spend more time with nanny than with mummsy.
