Windsor Palace absolutely chuffed:

Is it fourth time lucky in love for Doyle family?


The Doyle family has announced the engagement of youngest son, Eddie Doyle, to exotic dancer Sophie Jones.
Eddie broke the news of the engagement to a crowded bar at the Wickham Hotel, shortly before heading to the family home at Windsor for a private celebration.
Sophie “Rice” Jones earned her nickname by performing at a Fortitude Valley businessmen’s club where she demonstrated her ability to pick up grains of rice without the aid of fingers or implements.
Eddie’s parents, Phil and Liz Doyle, said they were delighted at the news.
“We recognise our family has had a less than successful track record in the marriage stakes,” Liz said.
“But we hope Eddie can break the hoo doo.”
Eddie, a successful producer of adult entertainment films, has known Sophie for several years. The couple has appeared together in public at numerous functions at various Brisbane entertainment venues such as The Beat, the Sportsman Hotel, Options and the Alliance Tavern.
The young Windsor couple plan to hold a proper knees-up engagement party at their local, The Palace, where licencee Merv Hogg said he was absolutely chuffed by the news. "It's been too quiet for too long here."
The engagement is seen by Doyle observers as a chance for the family to put behind it the heartbreak of recent years.
Family members have a history of marital problems.
Anne Doyle’s 20-year marriage to Greyhound-Pioneer coach captain, Mark Phillips, foundered in the early 1990s.
The marriage of Andy Doyle to podiatrist Sarah Ferguson, also broke up after he discovered photos of her in compromising positions with three men – simultaneously.
Most tragically, the marriage of Charlie and Dianne Doyle also broke down in acrimony when each discovered the other was having illicit affairs - Charlie making frequent nocturnal missions to a horse stud and Dianne “entertaining” entire football teams in the upstairs rooms of the Palace Hotel in Kensington Street.
Just over a year after their divorce was finalised, Dianne was killed tragically when the taxi in which she was travelling careered out of control and hit a wall in the Ivory Street tunnel.
Also killed in the accident was “Dodo” Foreigner, whose father - owner of Harold’s convenience store at Albion - movingly described Dianne as his son’s “current root”.
In a bizarre twist, police investigating the single-car accident blamed a frog, saying the taxi had spun out of control after skidding on the squashed amphibian.
No date has been set for Eddie and Sophie’s nuptials. While Doyle observers suggest Easter as a strong possibility, no confirmation has been forthcoming.
“I’ve got many favourite dates,” Eddie Doyle said, “it’s hard to pick just one.”
