Constance Marten, a 35-year-old Briton who grew up in the same sphere as the royal family, now finds herself immersed in a chilling affair.
She was one of the privileged. As Le Parisien points out in an article published on March 1, Constance Marten, 35, grew up in an affluent environment. Daughter of a servant of Elizabeth II and a psychotherapist, she is also the granddaughter of a friend of Princess Margaret and goddaughter of the Queen Mother. The young woman grew up in the south-east of England, in a 2,000 hectare estate in Dorset, and had a rather pleasant career: after a stint in a private Catholic boarding school at more than 30,000 euros a year , Constance Marten leaves to study at the University of Leeds where she hangs out with other children from good families at posh parties. After her studies, the young woman became a freelance journalist and photographer, as indicated by Le Parisien, and she worked in particular for the Qatari channel Al-Jazeera.
But in 2016, after years of fullness, Constance Marten meets a certain Mark Gordon and cuts ties with his entourage. The man, a Briton 15 years his senior, carried out 20 years in prison in the United States after assaulting and raping his neighbor in Florida when he was a teenager. The couple move to Ilford, east London, and are described as “mysterious” by neighbors who have testified to the British press. In 2020, Constance Marten and Mark Gordon are evicted from their home, and in the fall of 2021, when the authorities are looking for them for unpaid bills and the young woman is pregnant with her first child, they embark on a run through the country.
Constance Marten and her companion taken into custody
Scrupulous, Mark Gordon and Constance Marten avoid surveillance cameras, use false names and pay for their purchases in cash to avoid being found. On January 7, 2022, their car on fire is found on the side of a highway from Manchester. The couple then continued their escape with the baby in a stroller, as shown in certain surveillance images. On Tuesday February 28, Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were finally apprehended by the authorities while they were in Brighton, before being taken into custody on suspicion of abuse on their baby who remains untraceable to this day. The latter is still actively sought by the British police who are beginning to lose all hope of finding him alive, indicates the Parisian.
