Please provide a cite for her birthdate. Yoninah (talk) 19:04, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- her age is mentioned twice in the Guardian article? Mujinga (talk) 20:26, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mujinga: well, if she was born in December, her birth year would be 1984. I suggest you leave off the birth year and just quote the 16-year-old part in conjunction with the episode with Prince Charles. Yoninah (talk) 20:39, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

thanks, done Mujinga (talk) 08:47, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. You see she was reported as being 16 in November 2001 and 18 in April 2004, so without verification we have no idea when she was born. Restoring tick per epicgenius' review. Yoninah (talk) 10:34, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
