Answer: Theodore Roosevelt

After the death of his first wife (Alice), whom he married in 1861, Theodore Roosevelt wrote a private tribute to her which ended with the words "And when my heart's dearest died, the light went from my life forever".

7. Who is the famous husband of Camilla Parker Bowles whom she married in April 2005?

Answer: King Charles III

Originally Charles and Camilla were to have been married in Windsor Castle on 8th April 2005 but, due to legal problems, the venue was changed. (If they had been allowed to marry in the castle it would, under British law, have meant that the castle would have had to have been made available to everybody for civil marriages).

They were married at the Windsor Guildhall. The marriage was delayed for one day due to the funeral of Pope John Paul II, which Charles attended as representative of Queen Elizabeth II.

8. Marilyn Monroe, blonde sexbomb of the 1950s, was married a number of times but who was her last husband?

James Dougherty was her first husband, married in 1942, they divorced in 1946.

Joe DiMaggio married Marilyn in January 1954, Marilyn filed for divorce 274 days later in September 1954. When Marilyn died in 1962 it was DiMaggio who claimed the body and had half a dozen roses delivered to her crypt three times a week for the next 20 years.

Arthur Miller. Married in 1956 this was Marilyn's third and final marriage, this lasted until January 1961.

Even though there were many rumours concerning Marilyn and the Kennedys she was never married to any of them.

9. My name was Gra�a Machel. Which world famous politician did I marry on the occasion of his 80th birthday?

Answer: Nelson Mandela

After the break-up of his first marriage to Evelyn Ntoko Mase, Nelson Mandela married Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in 1957. Although their marriage lasted throughout Nelson's incarceration they were divorced in 1996 due to Winnie's alleged infidelity.
In 1998 Nelson married his third wife, Gra�a Machel.

After World War II he renounced these titles, changed his surname to Mountbatten (after his maternal grandparents) and used the title "Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten". He married the then Princess Elizabeth in 1947.
