What happened to Mary Ambrose Robert Palmers former girlfriend who tried to sue his Estate?
RogerL08
According to members of Mary Ambrose's family, including her brother, Michael Ambrose, Jr., she is now residing in California. With no offense intended, Mary Ambrose, has had some problems with the law and is now serving time on a 2011 conviction. Mary Ambrose has had three children, her first child born in 2001 fathered by Mick Carter, her second child fathered in 2002 by Christian Charmoux, and her third child born in 2008 fathered by Robby Cartwright. All three of her children are now in the custody of her brother, Michael Ambrose, a former U.S. Marine Lieutenant, who is now raising them. Shortly after Robert Palmer's death, Mary Ambrose returned to Coronado, California to reside with her mother and father. Although Mary Ambrose tried to report to the press that she had inherited Robert Palmer's Mill house in Lugano, Switzerland, that was not the actual case. The house became part of the Estate upon Robert Palmer's death, which was eventually sold. The proceeds of the sale went to Robert Palmer's children, as were his instructions written into his will. Mary Ambrose had to be removed from the late Robert Palmer's house legally in 2003, as she refused to depart the premises, insisting the house was going to be left to her. The Swiss authorities were called in on behalf of James Palmer to remove Mary Ambrose, as she was holding up the sale of the home and the disbursement of the will in general. There is some confusion as to where Mary Ambrose is living and what she is now doing as Mary Ambrose herself posted a Web site about herself, stating that she was living in Robert Palmer's home that they shared. Robert Palmer ended his relationship with Mary Ambrose in February of 2003, as well as his business relationship with her, she was his Estate Manager. The Palmer family has clearly stated that the home was sold as part of the Estate on several occasions. On this same Web site, Mary Ambrose claims that she owns the Mary Frances Stores and Catalog. That information is not true. The Mary Frances stores are owned by it's original owner who opened the stores nearly thirty years ago, and has posted a Web site about herself and her stores so that the general public will know a little more about her. In general, Mary Ambrose mislead the public with this Web site, causing confusion. When Mary Ambrose is done serving her sentence, according to her cousin, Elizabeth Sherr, she does not plan on returning to San Diego, California. She had told her she will settle elsewhere.

How did Mary Ambroses name get attached to the singer Robert Palmers obituaries when I heard Robert Palmer announce Geraldine Edwards as his girlfriend on Access Hollywood shortly before his death?
According to Robert Palmer himself in interviews, his close friends, and his family members, Geraldine Edwards was his girlfriend at the time of his death. She had been his girlfriend since Palmer's divorce from Susan in 1999. Mary Ambrose was a woman who casually dated Robert Palmer from 2000 to 2003 and who worked for Palmer as his Estate Manager and his Personal Assistant for that same period of years. According to Peter Bascombe, a close Palmer friend, as well as others that knew Palmer, Mary Ambrose was definintely not considered Robert Palmer's girlfriend. Mary Ambrose even had two children from friends and acquaintances of Robert Palmer while employed by him and dating him. One Palmer friend, Leo Stapleton, who also worked with Palmer professionally, stated publicly that Palmer referred to Mary Ambrose as "the arrangement" because she was simply there, not unlike Mt. Everest. He did not consider her his primary relationship. Palmer had met Mary Ambrose socially in 1995 at a party in San Diego, California. How her name came to be attached to the obituaries was because Robert Palmer's manager, Mick Carter, announced Mary Ambroses' name to the press as Robert Palmer's girlfriend in error. The press then reported Ambroses' name upon Carter's word. Carter was very fond of Mary Ambrose and in fact had a child with her in 2001. His excuse to one one Palmer friend, Joey Faahar, was "I felt that I should do it for Mary. She loved him so much. And she did live with him." When Faahar pointed out that she lived with him as his Estate Manager and Personal Assistant, Carter replied "That doesn't matter. She was living there." Shortly thereafter, Carter was legally enjoined from announcing Mary Ambrose as Robert Palmer's girlfriend, but he had caused a tremendous amount of upset and confusion in the meanwhile.

Her name is Mary Catherine Ambrose, not Mary Frances Ambrose. According to Ambrose's family she started using the middle name Frances after Robert Palmer's death, for reasons they could not understand. One former Ambrose friend said she intended version two, Mary Frances Ambrose, as her stage name. She was interested in becoming a serious musician and was planning on using the name, then got into the habit of it as if it were her actual name. During the legal proceedings regarding Mary Ambrose v. The Estate of Robert Palmer, she used her given name, Mary Catherine Ambrose, which is the name that appears on her birth certificate, according to her Aunt by marriage, Celia Ambrose. Mary Ambrose's musical career never materialzed in any successful way, but she apparently has decided on representing herself to the world under her chosen stage name, Mary Frances Ambrose.

Did Mary Ambrose Robert Palmers ex girlfriend offer to erase Mick Carters Palmers former managers substansial debt to Palmers family if he would announce her as palmers companion after palmers death?
Yes. Mick Carter, who was Robert Palmer's manager, and who was fired in September of 2003 did owe Robert Palmer a substansial financial debt. After an audit was conducted on accounts of Palmer's that Mick Carter was a signatore on, financial improprieties were discovered. Mick Carter had withdrawn $250,000.00 over a five-year time period for his personal use and then covered the transactions by listing them in accounting ledgers under legitimate explanations. When information contained in the ledgers was double checked it was discovered that receipts were created for companies that did not exist as well as trips and expenses that allegedly took place on Palmer's behalf had never actually occurred. Several cancelled checks were missing pertaining to these entries, causing a red flag to go up. Mick Carter was fired upon the discovery, and Robert Palmer made an arrangement for Mick Carter to reimburse him the lost money. Carter was going to mortgage his estate in restitution for the debt. When Robert Palmer died soon thereafter, and Mick Carter concluded that Robert Palmer had not yet told anyone about his firing or about his actions regarding the accounts. Unfortunately for Mick Carter, Robert Palmer had told a handful of people close to him about the situation, but Carter did not realize this. Robert Palmer had ended his personal relationship with Mary Ambrose in February of 2003. He had dated her casually from 2000 to 2003, after his 1999 divorce from his second wife Susan Palmer. She also worked for him as his live-in estate manager and personal assistant. Mary Ambrose was anxious that she should be reported as Robert Palmer's companion at the time of his death, even though Robert Palmer was by then engaged to Geraldine Edwards, his longtime friend and girlfriend. Palmer and Edwards had met in 1975. Mary Ambrose had discovered that Mick Carter owed Robert Palmer money before Palmer had passed away through a third-hand source. She promised Mick Carter that if he announced her name as Robert Palmer's companion, she would erase the debt. Mick Carter believed her and made the announcement. As it stood, however, Mary Ambrose did not have the actual authority to erase the debt, as she well knew, and Mick Carter was told he would have to rectify the debt. By then, the announcement had been made. Another mitigating factor for making the announcement was that Mary Ambrose had a son in 2001, fathered by Mick Carter. The two used to date. Mick Carter was married at the time and wished to keep the existence of his love child with Mary Ambrose from his wife. Ambrose was not exclusive with Palmer while they dated and had two sons from acquaintances of his. In the end, Mick Carter was compelled to pay the debt he owed the late Robert Palmer to Palmer's family.
