Robert Palmer's first wife's name was Shelly Putnam, and they were married in 1972. Together, they had three children. They were divorced in 1978. Robert Palmer remarried in 1979. Robert Palmer's manager, Mick Carter, did announce that Robert Palmer was only married once because he simply did not have enough factual information about his client to make accurate reports after his clients death. Everyone who knew Palmer did wonder how one wife and three children could be eliminated, but Carter succeeded in doing so. Ergo, due to his lack of reasonable information, he reported that Palmer was only married once, and had only two children. One of the problems in his poor reporting was that he was culling information from a woman who did not know the facts herself, and in some cases was hoping to revise history regarding Robert Palmer. It worked, and Carter reported information as she fed it to him, resulting in numerous errors of fact. Carter also reported that Robert Palmer and Susan Palmer divorced in 1993, when in fact they divorced in 1999, successfully cutting six years off the longivity of their marriage. Carter's poor performance regarding the Robert Palmer situation earned him a professional black eye, partially resulting in the closing of his management agency in 2004.

The article was publicly debunked because Robert Palmer had never given the interview. The article was pointed out to the Palmer family and to Robert Palmer's publicity agent, Elizabeth Freund, who looked into the matter. Freund kept a log of Robert Palmer's interviews fastidiously, and noticed that no such interview was given by Palmer. The writer of the article was contacted to clarify the situation, and she informed the Palmer family's attorney that she had conducted the interview by telephone, and had provided the exact date and time the alleged telephone interview took place. As it turned out, at the time the interview was allegedly taking place, Robert Palmer was onstage recording his television special "Every Kinda People", and numerous people vouched for his whereabouts at the time. Obviously, Palmer could not have been giving a telephone interview and performing onstage at the same time, therefore the article was publicly debunked. Apparently, the article was pointed out in the first place because Mary Ambrose was not Robert Palmer's girlfriend, that was Geraldine Edwards, as stated publicly by Robert Palmer. Secondly, the article attributed preposterous quotes as being made by Robert Palmer. As Anna Palmer pointed out, the verbiage was not her father's style and it raised a red flag. Later on it was revealed that Mary Ambrose had put a "friend" up to impersonating Palmer for the interview, who was later questioned, as some people close to Robert Palmer suspected this was the case. The man, who's name was Christopher Locke, and was close to Mary Ambrose, admitted to what he had done, and said he had done it as a favor to Mary Ambrose after she had begged him to help her. He said that he regretted his actions, and did not realize that the interview would actually be published. When Ambrose was questioned about her actions, she told Anna Palmer "I know Robert loved me and I wanted the world to know! I had every right to do it!" The article was then officially debunked, but not before numerous people read it.
No, Mary Ambrose did not inherit his manison in Lugano, Switzerland. It was sold as part of the Estate of Robert Palmer. The mansion was sold by Soteby's European Real Estate Division in early 2004 at the behest of James Palmer, the Executor of the Estate of Robert Palmer. According to James Palmer, the proceeds of the sale were distributed equally among Robert Palmer's five children.
Robert Palmer became a naturalized citizen of Switzerland in 1993, the same year he bought his home in Lugano, Switzerland. Prior to that Robert Palmer was a British citizen residing the majority of the year in Switzerland on a green card. It took longer than he expected to become a naturalized Swiss citizen, and when this did finally occur, he was officially a dual citizen of both Switzerland and Great Britian. Palmer initially started spending large amounts of time in Switzerland in 1986 and determined at that time that it was his desire to become a naturalized Swiss citizen. In some interviews Robert Palmer identified himself as living in Switzerland prior to becoming a citizen, as that was where he and his family spent the majority of their time.
