Talk:Barbara Cartland

message: Under "Marriage and relationships," the page states "...she was married, from 1927 to 1932, to Alexander George McCorquodale..." But the following paragraph states "After the McCorquodales' 1936 divorce..." Were they divorced in 1932, or 1936? Verdant C 19:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Cartlandgogy.jpg

message: "Cartland was openly critical of her step-daughter Diana, Princess of Wales's divorce from the Prince of Wales, which caused a rift between them, one mended shortly before Diana's fatal car crash in Paris in 1997."
Diana was not Cartland's step-daughter, rather the step-daughter of Cartland's own daughter, Raine. It is the rift between Raine and Diana that was supposedly mended before Diana's death.

thread_title:  The Diana Connection 

message: This was commented upon in the media at the time. I'm not sure why this was - if it was because she was disliked by the royals, or if it was in truth simply because she was infirm. 89.243.83.43 (talk) 10:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

message: erm... I once heard an anecdote that Barbara Cartland bought a new Rolls-Royce, and asked for it to be pink. This became the first ever pink Rolls-Royce - no-one else had previously asked for one in that colour...
How true that is I don't know, which is why I mention it here, and not in the article. :)

thread_title: the first pink Rolls-Royce ? 

message: The Library of Congress catalog lists her as "Cartland, Barbara, 1902-2000", but Wikipedia claims she was born in 1901. How come? Who's right? --LA2 (talk) 10:00, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birth year 

message: Parts of this article are written in a tone that, perhaps, doesn't quite meet Wikipedia standards. I've listed a few examples below. Not knowing anything about Barbara Cartland, I don't feel qualified to make any substantive changes. 
'Though she was born into an enviable degree of middle-class comfort, the family's security was severely shaken after the suicide of her paternal grandfather'
'However, her enterprising mother opened a London dress shop'
'She also began writing and producing somewhat racy plays'
'Despite their tame story lines, Barbara Cartland's later novels were highly successful.'
'This claim fits in with her image as part of a generation for whom such matters were never discussed'
'Her physical and mental health began to fail in her mid-90s but her spirit and courage were undiminished'

message: This article is a bit of a mess. There is a lot of repetition of the number of books sold and other trivia. But moreover a lot of the text verges on gossip and most of it is totally unsourced. I am loathe to remove the text, but it needs sources. Ashmoo (talk) 14:23, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
