"Patty Hearst: From Kidnapping to Canine Celebrity"

Patricia "Patty" Hearst, the newspaper heiress kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army 50 years ago, is now known for her prize-winning dogs, particularly French bulldogs, at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Her abduction and subsequent involvement in a 1974 bank robbery raised questions about Stockholm syndrome, a psychological coping mechanism used by some hostages. Despite her controversial past, Hearst's trial was one of the most sensational of the 1970s, and she was eventually pardoned by President Bill Clinton after serving 22 months in prison.

"August 23, 1973: The Birth of 'Stockholm Syndrome' in Sweden's Bank Robbery"

On August 23, 1973, a bank robbery in Sweden led to a five-day hostage situation, during which the term "Stockholm syndrome" was coined. Jan-Erik Olsson, an escaped prisoner, held four bank employees hostage and demanded money, a getaway car, and the release of a fellow inmate. The hostages developed a bond with their captors, showing concern for their well-being. The situation ended when tear gas was used, and Olsson and his accomplice were arrested. The term "Stockholm syndrome" refers to the phenomenon where hostages develop positive feelings towards their captors.

Royal Aides Brand Prince Harry "Meghan Markle's Hostage" as Spending Habits and Behavior Come Under Scrutiny.

Royal aides allegedly referred to Prince Harry as "Meghan's hostage" behind the couple's back, according to royal commentator Robert Jobson's new book. The aides reportedly blamed Meghan Markle for Harry's decision to step back from royal duties and move to California in 2020. Jobson also claimed that the aides believed Harry had Stockholm syndrome. The relationship between Harry and senior members of the royal family is thought to have been fraught, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have received an invitation to attend King Charles III's coronation, but whether they will accept is still to be confirmed.
