Suspicious of the ad, the Times checked and found that no such deaths had been reported in Penzance and that Princess Margaret of Hesse, 72, who happened to be visiting Queen Elizabeth at Balmoral, was actually childless. Scotland Yard traced the ad to Rita Coleman, a local magistrate, who said a mysterious "Countess Maggie," whom she had never met, had contacted her at a charity she worked with and asked her to place the death notice of her three children...
