Yeah, I remember this story! Gotta hand it to him...it was quite a trick. To keep it going that long.
"
Stopford's US family said they did not understand why he had adopted an aristocratic title but said he had always loved England, its culture and people and could have developed a convincing accent while working at Disneyworld." - I love this bit!
"
In England people do fantasize about being aristocrats just as Americans like to be celebrities," - not sure about this bit though!
