    I’m still not used to the cumbersome British royal family name, Monbattan-Windsor, but I’m at least glad there’s at least some consequences for association with Epstein, even if it is relatively small.

        Yes but Mountbatten is anglicization of Battenburg, not Glücksburg. All those branches are intertwined, of course.

      Weird that The Guardian has chosen a completely unique new convention for naming this guy in headlines. Everyone else would have their family name in the headline.

        It’s so that the readers can tell who’s being talked about at a glance, not weird at all.
