I’ve been wondering that! This seems like the perfect opportunity for him to have a European accent of some kind. A couple people have remarked that Claude Becker is the kind of name someone would have along the German-French border. Then i read an article today about military orders / royal decorations that suggested this could be a Swedish order, albeit one given nowadays mostly to people who make big charitable contributions. So … maybe? Maybe we’d get a really upper crust, cut-glass English accent? So many possibilities.
IIRC Richard described Claude as ‘louche’
Disreputable or sordid in a rakish or appealing way. Perhaps he is thinking of Damerel from Georgette Heyer’s”Venetia’ my favorite regency character.
Is both an option? Dastardly debonair?

Do you think the sash and medal means he’ll have a British accent? ( I mean no accent?)

Yes, maybe something other than British, because I checked and there’s nothing quite like it that the Brits give out to citizens.

No, not the Order of the Seraphim (Swedish). I think it’s a make-believe order of some kind.

In his interview to “What’s up Hollywood” on Oct 24 Richard said: “I play an English art curator…he runs a NY gallery”.
