Kim Cattrall has been forced to back down after losing a long-running dispute with relatives in Liverpool over a family gravestone
As brash Samantha Jones in Sex and the City, she was used to getting everything her own way.
But yesterday it emerged that actress Kim Cattrall has been forced to back down after losing a long-running dispute with relatives in Liverpool over a family gravestone.
The 62-year-old was accused of a ‘total lack of respect’ after replacing the stone in her family plot.
Miss Cattrall’s cousin Michelle Cox, 51 – whose mother Edna is buried there – said she felt like she ‘had been burgled’ when she saw the change during a visit on Christmas Day 2016.
Edna is buried at Holy Trinity, Wavertree, along with the ashes of her brother Dennis – Miss Cattrall’s father – and other members of the family.
The stone was specially commissioned by Miss Cattrall and inscribed with her own name in the expectation that she would one day be buried there.
The star was born in Liverpool but her parents took her to Canada when she was three months old. She moved to the US when she was 16 to pursue her acting career.
The inscription referred to her as ‘the Liverpool Cleopatra’ – a nod to her much-publicised return to the city in a production of Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra in 2010. She also added the name of her father, who died in 2012.

The row led to almost two years of wrangling in an ecclesiastical court. Sir Mark Hedley, chancellor of the consistory court of the diocese of Liverpool, has now ordered that Miss Cattrall’s name and the Cleopatra reference be removed from the headstone.
It was taken away to be amended this month. He also ordered that Miss Cattrall pay for the changes, which must be completed and the headstone reinstated by next month.
Miss Cox has never met her famous cousin – their parents fell out after Edna married a man from Barbados.
The stone was specially commissioned by Miss Cattrall and inscribed with her own name in the expectation that she would one day be buried there. Miss Cattrall was born in Liverpool
In 2016 she told the Mail: ‘It doesn’t seem right that someone who has spent the majority of her life in Canada and the US can come to Liverpool and reserve a grave simply by putting their name on it.’
She said the former canon of Holy Trinity wrongly assumed there were no surviving relatives to contact when Miss Cattrall applied to have the headstone changed. Miss Cattrall later hit back, saying: ‘The Cox family are not my family.’
A source close to the case said Miss Cox and her family were relieved the matter had been resolved.
The source said: ‘It was about ensuring respect for the deceased. But most importantly the inscription was in very poor taste.
‘They took a stand not because it was a celebrity involved but because they didn’t want it to happen to anyone else.’ Miss Cattrall has declined to comment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
