Could you please list her name? If the current Duchess of Kent dies in 2024 and is succeeded by another, I need to know which woman you mean. It’s just for the record, you probably mean Katharine.
And still one more change: Please substitute Ivanka Kushner with Gérard Depardieu (excessive eater, drinker and abuser - and very bad motorcycle driver). The list would then read:
Ramsan Kadyrov
Jared Kushner
Vladimir Putin
Gérard Depardieu
Julio Iglesias
Celine Dion
Shannen Doherty
Demi Lovato
Elon Musk
Reid Wiseman
Victor Glover
Christina Koch
Jeremy Hansen
