Alyssa Rosenberg in WaPo concerning the travails of Queen Elizabeth’s descendants:
Three of the queen’s four children have subsequently divorced themselves, one in breathtakingly acrimonious fashion.
Even in context, this is a breathtaking grammatical ambiguity. One can only wonder at how one divorces one’s self – perhaps this is a superpower of the Brit Royals? The visuals are startling, although I must admit that I am influenced by a short documentary piece on the Austrian painter Egon Schiele I viewed this morning.
