And since @Ladywillpower correctly guessed @FintyTin's last clue, this is @Ladywillpower**'s latest clue:

This old German name opened Pandora's box in 1929. Her royal connections meant that she waltzed off to one of the Channel Islands with the Doctor.

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

Or perhaps Hamish?

Neither Bonnie nor Hamish sorry.

The final clue refers to an actor.

Clarke?

Nope sorry. The first clue is probably the best/strongest.

We recently learnt he became a centenarian.

This is a very good one @finallychangedmyusername . I am so stumped. Gonna give it some real attention later!

I’ve been thinking all about Sunday’s- celebrities with children called Sunday, black sabbath.... im completely stumped!

Glad it's so testing. That makes it all the more fun!

His centenarian announcement occurred a few weeks ago, but refers to last year.

Of the three in political circles, one may be mourning the death of a friend or family member.

(Or at least, his name might suggest so).

Oooh are we talking grieve as in Dominic Grieve, Dominic Cummings...

Dominic?

Can’t get the trilogy..... think those ones called I am Kirsty, I am Nicola, I am Hannah (I think!?) were written by a Dominic

Haha, yes, well played, it is Dominic!

Traditionally a Catholic child born on a Sunday might be named Dominic; the three politicians are Dominics Raab, Cummings and Grieve, as you got ("mourning a death..."); and in the Lord of the Rings the character of Merry (" in high spirits") was portrayed by Dominic Monaghan.

The centenarian clues refer to the ONS 2018 baby names (data released in August 2019)- Dominic was number 100 in the list of most popular boys names.

Here's the baton!

Good clues! I thought lord of the rings but I was looking for an actor that had gone into rehab

Hmm ok-
Her titled daughter was renowned for always wearing grey, this fictitious Anglo Saxon seduced her husband to secure her father a home county!

Two separate people, mother of titled daughter and seductress

Jacquetta

Elizabeth

Nope. I’ve possibly gone a bit tricky but will do another clue tomorrow

Frances and Jane?

Nope, the two separate people share the same first name. It’s only one name

Anastasia?
(Amazing last round @finallychangedmyusername !!)

Why thank you @LadyGAgain!

Hmm no.... ok her daughter is The Grey Lady
