Why did the late Robert Palmers manager Mick Carter make so many errors in reportage after Robert Palmers death?
It can be chalked up to a lack of knowledge about his client. Although Carter was personal friends with Robert Palmer, he did not know a lot about his personal life and that is where the reporting errors cropped up. They started with Carter reporting Mary Ambrose as Robert Palmer's partner vacationing with him in Paris at the time of his death. Robert Palmer's companion at the time of his death was Geraldine Edwards. The reason for this misreport was that Carter and Ambrose were very close and had a child together in 2001. According to Carter, he took Ambrose at her word, and announced Ambrose's name to the press. In addition to this, Carter announced Robert Palmer's divorce date from Susan Palmer as 1991. The correct divorce date was in 1999. He also quoted that Robert Palmer was in "Perfect Health" prior to his death. That was not correct. Robert Palmer was suffering from Hypertension and was being treated medically for that condition. Jack Bruce, another of Mick Carter's client's, was vacationing with Robert Palmer in Paris, France at the time of his death, not Mary Ambrose. And finally, Mick Carter reported that Robert Palmer was only married once and had only two children. Robert Palmer was married twice and had five children. His final reporting faux pas was telling the press that Robert Palmer was to be buried at his home in Lugano, Switzerland. That is not correct. There was a Memorial Service for Robert Palmer in Lugano, Switzerland, however, Robert Palmer was buried in London, England.
Why do not website of Robert palmer list geraldine Edwards as his girlfriend?
The website you are referring to is not the official website of Robert Palmer, in other words it is not mandated by his family or friends. The Palmer family took down their official website in 2006. The reason that Geraldine Edwards name does not appear as Robert Palmer's girlfriend is that she has not given the site permission to use her name or to post any pictures of her. She has deferred to the Palmer family in this matter, in addition to which the woman has moved on with her life and is now happily married and has been so for years. The only member of the Palmer family who participated on this site in any way was Robert Palmer's brother, Mark Palmer, and he only did so in a peripheral way, by leaving a commerative blog on the site remembering his brother. Beyond that he does not endorse the site. By all accounts Geraldine Edwards is a very private person and does not court publicity for herself. She would prefer not to be listed on any site about Robert Palmer not approved of by the Palmer family. She was also the woman Almost Famous was written about and turned down offers to have a website created for her. She prefers to remain annonymous.

Is the website robertpalmer.com which bills itself as the Official Website of Robert Palmer sponsored by the Palmer family?
No, no member of the Palmer family sanctions the website. Mark Palmer, Robert Palmer's younger brother kindly posted a blog to the site, but he does not endorse it in any way. From 2003 to 2006, the Palmer family and friends of Robert Palmer posted a website to honor his life. As they pointed out, it was only to help Robert Palmer fans who were having a hard time getting over his death. They took the site down in 2006. This site is posted by a Brigham Young University graduate who is a webmaster and very young. He is simply a fan of Robert Palmer's and wanted to post the site. He is not, nor has he ever been in contact with any Palmer family member or friend to get any endorsement of his site. A picture was sent to this site by Richard Coble, a former Production Coordinator of Robert Palmer's and a sometimes tour assistant Robert Palmer used while he was on tour from time to time. Also, a former administrative assistant from Island Records sent a couple of blogs to the site, one showing a telex that Robert Palmer sent her and a picture of Robert Palmer and Billy Bob Thornten with a blog attached that seems far fetched. She goes on at length about a double date at the movies with Robert Palmer in 1996 where "she, Harper, Mary and Robert saw Slingblade together. Not true. Robert Palmer was married to Susan Palmer in 1996, and David Harper who was Robert Palmer's manager at the time was married to singer Jo Florian, who was introduced to him by Robert Palmer. This woman was not on a date with David Harper like she stated, and Robert Palmer was not galavanting publicly with Mary Ambrose while married to Susan Palmer. An early article about Vinegar Joe is also posted by Elkie Brooks, who Robert Palmer had not spoken to since the seventies. The reason that this webmaster posted incorrect information in the discography section to certain songs was because Mary Ambrose contacted him to advise him that she was the co-author of several songs that she did not co-write with Robert Palmer. All anyone has to do is look at the albums' liner notes on any of the albums to be mentioned and Mary Ambrose's name will not appear anywhere within. This man gave credit to Mary Ambrose for writing Aeroplane in 1991 with Robert Palmer. Robert Palmer wrote that song alone, which appeared on Don't Explain in 91 and Ridin' High in 92. He also gave her credit for You Can't get Enough of a Good Thing which also appeared on Don't Explain. He gives her credit for Love Takes Time which appeared on 94's Honey and finally he gives her credit for True Love which appears on 99's Rhythm & Blues. Robert Palmer did not even meet Mary Ambrose until late 1995. She co-wrote none of these songs, however, the young man who put up the site wanted a connection to Palmer and got that through Mary Ambrose contacting him. He has been advised that his discography is not correct, but he will not change the information. Unfortunately, several other sites picked up this mans errors and started posting the lyrics and giving Ambrose credit for songs she did not co-write. The fact of the matter is that Robert Palmer wrote Aeroplane and You Can't Get Enough of a Good Thing alone, and he wrote Love Takes Time and True Love with Sharon O'Neill, who is a singer and songwriter from New Zealand. Mary Ambrose attempted to take credit for this woman's work. All in all, the Palmer family and close Palmer confidantes do not not recommend this website as a source of information regarding Robert Palmer. The information contained in large portions of this site are flawed or suspect.
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.
