‘Lordship for £18.95’ ad banned
An advert offering a lord or lady title with land for £18.95 has been banned for potentially misleading consumers into thinking it was genuine.
Lordtitles.co.uk claimed customers could “buy a Lord or Lady title... Genuine Lordship or Ladyship title with land in England – £18.95”.
It promised a pack containing a genuine English lordship title, a personalised, gold-embossed certificate, two square feet of dedicated land ‘on the shores of Windermere’, an information brochure, a coat of arms and login details to an online members’ area.
Lordtitles said it supplied a “fun, low-cost and legal gift pack”. The land was a personal land dedication, rather than ownership.
