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?

I started a new thread in "noble weddings" section, as I've seen the duke of Percy's daughter 's wedding was also put there.
If that's not right, the moderators can remove it.
 
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.

:ROFLMAO: That's the best part!

She's beautiful and her dress and tiara were fantastic. Best wishes to the both of them for a long and happy marriage.
 
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?

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.
 
Coverage of the wedding of Lady Melissa Percy and Thomas van Straubenzee has been moved to the Weddings subforum.
 
Isn't that considered a stillbirth though?
Very sad though.
 
Such sad news. My sympathy and thoughts go out to them. :(
 
The Most Hon. George Paget, 7th Marquess of Anglesey, passed away on 13 July 2013, aged 90.

He was born on 8 October 1922, the only son of the 6th Marquess and Marchioness of Anglesey. He succeeded as the 7th Marquess at the death of his father in 1947.
He was married since 1948 to Shirley Morgan, by whom he had three daughters and two sons.
Their eldest son, Charles, succeeds him as the 8th Marquess of Anglesey.

Shouldn't his son be the 8th marquess, not the 9th?

Secrets of the Manor House: Secrets of Chatsworth-
In its 500-year history, Chatsworth has been home to some notable inhabitants, among them the 5th Duke of Devonshire, his wife, Lady Georgiana Spencer, and Lady Elizabeth Foster, who lived together in a ménage à trois. King Edward VII enjoyed shooting parties on the estate and was often entertained by Duchess Louisa, one of Britain’s foremost political hostesses-

I really have to feel for this couple and admire them. Its becoming more and more the norm for older people to find out that their golden years are going to be a struggle rather than the happy picture of a glorious retirement and one quickly learns how to stretch a dollar as far as it can go.

These two have faced many problems as with the various lawsuits in regards to the estate, periods of depression and drug dependency, found each other and are now happily bringing a child into the world and are extremely happy albeit concerned about the welfare of the child. I wish them the very best and hopefully things will hit a smoother path for them in the future.

This story really hits home as we read and come to the stark realization that nothing is ever to be taken for granted and life sure can throw some curve balls into our paths. Thanks for posting this Homme!
 
Earls in England

Good morning to everyone :)



My name is Javier. Recently I became very interested in the Peerage of England. The reason is that my wife is a big maniac on the topic and I want to surprise her for her birthday in the end of February. I want to prepare a Birthday Card with wishes from all the currently alive Earls and Countesses in England, since this is her favourite title (I know it is a very ambitious objective, but I want to try to do it.). I was trying to find some information about the currently alive Earls and Countesses in each county in England. Unfortunatelly I'm not able to discover any records or other relevant source on the topic. I spent the last 2 weeks trying to find something, but apart from the data for some of the most famous counties (Suffolk for instance) there is no other reliable information I could find. I would be really grateful if someone could help me out with this!



I appologize in case the topic in not in the correct section. I'm a newbie in the forum.



Best wishes to everyone!
Javier :)
