Norman Foster Likely to Lose 'Lord' Title

Starchitect Norman Robert Foster, Baron Foster of Thames Bank is to begin life as a non-royal soon, becoming known as just starchitect Mr. Norman Foster, assuming the UK’s House of Lords decides to continue on their current path and strip Foster of his title. The reason for doing so is that the famous architect lives in St. Moritz, Switzerland and is a legal Swiss resident, something that doesn’t sit so well with the other Lords (Foster also doesn’t pay taxes in the UK, which, along with a criminal record, is another no-no in the books).
