| Example: My name is Elaine Stine and I am Mary Ambrose's Aunt on her mother's side, who passed away in 2010. Your article refers to Mary as Robert Palmer's companion for twenty years before his death. My niece was born in June of 1977, making her six years old when she first started dating Robert Palmer. I really don't think so. Mary dated Robert Palmer from 2000 to early 2003, when Robert Palmer ended his working and personal relationship with Mary, who did work as his estate manager and personal assistant for the same amount of time that she dated him. Their relationship ended badly I am sorry to say, in addition to which Robert Palmer had become engaged to his girlfriend, Geraldine Edwards, who was in obvious evidence the entire time Mary was dating Robert Palmer. Robert Palmer's and Mary's dating relationship was never exclusive, and my niece had two children, both sons, born in 2001 and 2002. Her first child was from Robert Palmer's manager, Mick Carter, who the family met, and the second child was from a friend of Robert Palmer's by the name of Christian Charmoux, who the family never met. Mary was returning home to Coronado, California, to move in with her parents as her work visa in Switzerland had been revoked. She was being compelled to leave the country, per law. My sister told me that Mary was coming home in October of 2003 with her two grandsons, and she was looking forward to having her back. She was very fond of her grandsons and told me that she did not get to see them enough. '''And no, Mary was not in Paris with Robert Palmer when he died. She called my son Ethan, my dauthter Elizabeth, and myself from Lugano, Switzerland to tell us of Robert Palmer's death, where she was making final arrangements to return to Coronado, California to take up residence.''' '''Later, my niece filed a number of lawsuits against the Estate of Robert Palmer where she did not prevail. The phone calls made by Mary to myself, my son and daughter, and her brother directly after Robert Palmer's death were traced back to Lugano, Switzerland as part of the court proceedings. Mary had tried to represent to the court that she was literally with Robert Palmer in Paris at the time of his death, which was not true. As I said earlier, she lost all of the lawsuits she brought against Robert Palmer's estate, and untimately, she did return home to Coronado by December of 2003.''' Michael, my nephew and Mary's brother, has also written in here. What he has said about his sister is truthful. I hoped this has cleared up some confusion of what has been written about Mary. | |||
| My name is Michael Ambrose. I am the brother of Mary Ambrose, who you write about in this article. You state that she was Robert Palmer's companion for twenty years, and that she was in the French Capital with Robert Palmer when he died after spending time in England together. I am afraid that is not the case. Mary met Robert in late 1995 at a party given by one of our neighbors in Coronado, California. Mary was very excited about meeting Palmer, and she made it her point to become friendly with others who were friends of Palmer's that she met at the same party she met him at. She was very interested in staying in Robert Palmer's limelight in any way she could. Her plan worked because in 1996 a couple who knew Palmer well hired Mary as their live-in Au Pair. She worked for them till 2000. Mary got to know Robert a little bit better when some of his friends asked him to allow Mary to contribute backing vocals on his 1999 Rhythm & Blues album. Shortly after his divorce from his second wife, Susan, he hired Mary in 2000 as his live-in Estate Manager and Personal Assistant. I know some people do not want to believe what I am saying, but this is the truth. I am her only brother and sibling and I know this to be a fact. '''Robert Palmer started dating my sister at that time, and he continued to do so until early 2003, when he did end their relationship. By way of explanation, although Mary resided with Palmer from 2000 onwards, he always provided her with her own quarters, which happened to be a wing in each of his two homes. To be precise, Mary and Robert were never exclusive with one another. The entire time that they were living in the same home and dating, and that is all it was, dating, Robert was seeing a steady girlfriend who had been in his life since his divorce from his second wife. And, from time to time he dated others. There was no crime in this because the man was not married.''' I had no truck with him. I met him on two occasions and I found him to be cordial and intelligent. M'''ary herself had two children with friends of Robert Palmer's while she was living with him, my two nephews.''' Mary dated, but continued to date Palmer. I will not lie. Mary was hoping that he was going to propose to her at some point. It did not happen. Shortly before Robert Palmer had passed away, he had told my sister that she was going to have to move out of his home. When he broke up with her in early 2003 he had allowed her to keep working for him until she could find other sustainable employment due to the fact that she did have two sons with friends of his. He was a gentleman about it. '''Mary was milking out the situation in the hopes that Palmer would change his mind and want to resume the relationship. She was unsuccessful in this regard. My parents were making plans to welcome Mary and their grandchildren into household.''' They were crazy about them. They have both passed away since, God rest their souls. When Robert Palmer did die, Mary called me and other family members from Lugano, Switzerland to tell us. She was not in Paris with him. And she had never spent any time with him in England. By the time of their 2003 break-up she was not travelling with him. I lot of nonsense was written about my sister after Robert Palmer's death, none of it reflecting the truth. Part of this was Mary's fault. '''She wanted to change her background altogether, which really disturbed her family. She billed herself as thirty-six years old to the press when she was twenty-six years old. She had decided also that she had met Robert Palmer in San Francisco in the early nineties while working as a waitress.''' Somehow this suited her. In fact, Mary was born and raised in San Diego, and in the early nineties was living at home with my mother, father and myself. Two articles wrote that she was living with Robert Palmer in Switzerland in 1993. Wrong. Mary was attending High School in Coronado in 1993. And the list of errors went on and on at Mary's request. I have to say here that the three writers that wrote articles on Mary's behalf were known to her personally before Robert Palmer's death. She was promising these people an opportunity to interview Palmer and they stayed in contact with her. She mentioned their names more than once and me and my father, who worked in media knew what happened when we saw their names on the bylines. Just helping my sister out. This backfired when Robert Palmer's family and Mary's famiy confronted these writers. One writer posted an interview where Robert Palmer was talking about my sister and backdated it to 1994. I wrote this man and asked him how Palmer could have been speaking about someone he had not yet met, and the man sent me a curt response, containing words that I can not type here. The entire situation was a nightmare for both families. Mary is not doing so well now, and I have custody of her children. I really do feel that those people who helped to enable her, and that includes the writers of the aforementioned articles, did not help her. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 21:20, 31 January 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||

Death
Does anyhow have any information surrounding his death? It seems unusual for an apparently healthy 54 year old man to suffer a heart attack and die. ThereIsNoSteve 03:25, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
According to http://www.scotlandonsunday.com/entertainment.cfm?id=1075762003 :
- The reasons behind the heart attack remain to be established. Cater said: "Robert had no history of heart problems. Only two weeks ago he had a medical check-up which gave him a clean bill of health.
- Cater is Palmer's manager, Nick Cater. RickK 03:29, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Robert Palmer was a heavy smoker throughout his life. The French police have reportedly opened an inquiry into the circumstances of his death. Leanne 03:32, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- It has been reported that Robert Palmer had suffered from High Blood Pressure, which could have easily led to the heart attack. That combined with being a heavy smoker bumped up the risk factor.
Also, other sources say that he wasn't buried in Switzerland, but in London...the location of his grave is being kept confidential by his family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chkencyclopedia (talk • contribs) 15:44, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Who is Mary Ambrose? She contested RPs will, but she's not mentioned elsewhere in the article. What was her relationship to him? --Web1X (talk) 01:42, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Bruce Palmer
No relation, right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.10.127.58 (talk) 22:30, 19 December 2006 (UTC).
Robert Palmer was actually cremated, his remains are not in Lugano Switzerland, that was what was reported in the media that he is buried, but it is not true. Furthermore, Palmer divorced and was with Ms. Mary Ambrose for over twenty years she greatly influenced his music. Addicted to Love, Simply Iressitible, she was on the cover of Honey kissing him. She was completely neglected in this bio. She co-wrote one of his best songs. That was his bestfriend and inspiration. She was with him when he died.
He had an aneurysm within the heart that blew.
Untrue
Ambrose was NOT with Palmer when he died, she was in London. She wasn't his girlfriend, they had casually dated from 2000-2003. She was a live-in housekeeper, hired by Palmer. The publicist who released the info that she was "his girlfriend" was the father of her child. The family sued her to stop calling herself that, blocked her from publishing a book claiming to be his girlfriend and her lawsuit contesting the will was thrown out of court. She was reported to have died in 2005, but a 2011 post by her brother states differently.
Many, many relatives, friends and co-workers have been all over the net posting that Mary Ambrose's story was false, and legally she was told to stop.
His real girlfriend was Geraldine Edwards.

Nagel's influence?
What ground is there for supposing that the two videos referred to in the article owed anything to the artwork of Nagel. Nagel's name is mentioned twice in the article which is no doubt good news for him but having looked at his artwork I don't see that there is any reason to suppose that the videos had any direct connection to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.233.172 (talk) 18:00, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
