Does a Countess get to keep her title of Countess after a divorce?

Update:

Yes I was refering to Luann. BTW I don't like her much from what I've seen, especially when she told the little girl that she had time to loose weight to become a model. I personally think she relies on her title too much.

    There is NO title. France is a republic. The title was generated by Napoleon I, anyway, not even the Bourbons. And she lives in New York! In the United States, all are equal.

    Some people lack class, tact and common sense. I would never be rude to her face, but I'd call her by her first name if she ever took offense to my failure to use any honorific style of address.

    Luann, Countess De Lesseps, ought to be interested in gaining some class rather than retaining her title. It is obvious that she comes from a very low end background.

    When Sarah Ferguson was married, she was:

    Her Royal Highness The Princess Andrew Duchess of York, Countess of Inverness, Baroness Killyleagh

    --------------

    After she was divorced, she is no longer royal, or "Princess Andrew" , but she does retain her style of Duchess until she remarries. So she is

    Sarah, Duchess of York

    --------------

    However, I believe that this title was negotiated. If they had divorced without children, she may not have kept that style.

    I don t think she should. Their no longer married. LeAnn has rubbed the title in peoples faces.

    I would think not. It's probably specifically stated in legal paperwork if she can or cannot retain the title and how it can be used.
