Michael Bowes-lyon, 18Th Earl Of Strathmore And KinghorneMichael Fergus Bowes-Lyon, 18th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, DL (born 7 June 1957) is a Scottish politician and former army officer. He was educated at Eton, the University of Aberdeen, and RMA Sandhurst. He rose to the rank of Captain in the British Army (serving with the Scots Guards). He is a nephew of the Queen Mother and first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. In 1984, he married Isobel Charlotte Weatherall and is the father of three sons. The Strathmores separated in 2003 and a year later became embroiled in a divorce suit much publicized in the press. According to a 9 January 2005 article in "The Scotsman," the countess was battling to continue to live at Glamis Castle and to receive a lump settlement of five million pounds while the earl was described in court as an alcoholic with liver damage and for whom the continued stress of the case posed a health danger. The same article reported that a tabloid had revealed that during the earl's separation from his wife, he had hired the services of three call girls over a period of four days, behavior that his lawyer deemed out-of-character and related to his "drinking heavily." In January 2005, Lady Strathmore dropped her demands and the divorce was finalized.
