Before the birth of Clare, Richard, and Joan went out for a vacation in Inverness, Scotland, but their tour wasn't successful at that time due to Templeman suffering from a stomach ache after an attack of appendicitis. They later went for a check-up, where doctors informed her about their false pregnancy timing, which brought an untimely birth of Clare just 25 weeks before completing the postnatal period. 

Upon the death of Clare, Richard's business nearly collapsed after he launched Virgin Airlines but faced bankruptcy because a bank manager sorted out his company's drafts.
