Reclusive prince impersonated by Bond has died

A PRINCE who preferred to live in a Hebridean croft house than a castle has died.

Former Queen’s Herald Count, Robin de la Lanne-Mirrlees, who lived in the Outer Hebrides, passed away, aged 87, on Saturday.

The French-born, Oxford-educated aristocrat, who was impersonated by the fictional secret agent James Bond in Ian Fleming’s novel On Her Majesty’s Secret Serice – died in the Blar Buidhe nursing home in Stornoway.
