Yes, very nice looking couple. Congrats to them.
A really beautiful couple. She looks so lovely and he looks so proud.
Lenora - why have you started a completely new thread with the same story?
Great!
Must be very satisfying to the bride and groom to know that while daddy may be a racist, the estate is entailed and there's not much he can do about it.
I think you're quite right; as far as I know, from reading newspaper reports, the problems between Lord Bath and Viscount Weymouth are due to the fact that Weymouth doesn't approve his father's lifestyle and he has announced that he intends to evict his father's "wifelets" from Longleat estate and remove his father's erotic/pornographic murals from the House.I don't think the specific reason for Lord Bath not attending his son's wedding was necessarily racism. Emma did mention experiencing some racism from other members of society, but not the Baths themselves. (There still could be some class snobbery there of course)
Bath's son took over managing Longleat in the last few years and has made quite a lot of changes, including removing his father's 'erotic' murals. Perhaps this changing of the guard, of which the mural covering was the final straw that broke the camel's back, has made Bath uncomfortable and unsure of himself. Also seeing your son change a lot of your decisions, which he may regard as the culmination of his life's work, may be turning out to be a hard pill to swallow for Bath. Not attending the wedding could be a way of punishing the son, rather than an objection to the race (or class) of the daughter-in-law.
In this thread:
Google Vertalen
there is written that Lady Edwina & Daniel Snow are expecting (or have already had) their second child; anyone knows something about this?
Yes, of course, his son is now the 8th Marquess. I made a typo with numbers...Shouldn't his son be the 8th marquess, not the 9th?
