The Halstead Dukedom Has Palm Beach Asking Questions

A title makes its way onto every worthy dinner table this season: is there truly a Duke of Halstead? The question comes courtesy of "The Gentlemen," where the plot turns on the Halstead family and their estate — the kind of manor-and-lineage premise that plays especially well among a readership that knows the difference between old money and old titles. Around here, where pedigree gets checked as a matter of course, the curiosity is a natural one, and it has sent viewers looking into whether the Halsteads have any standing beyond the screen.
