The British Aristocrat Who Accidentally Married An "Old Money" Family: Olivia Grosvenor

[@oldmoneyluxury]

COMMENT: Are there any other duchesses from the UK you’d like us to feature on this channel?

[@Annie-ZA]

I take it that, that's the same Hoare family that idiotic HAZ, has or is wanting to mention in an upcoming court case of his. I can't recall his reason for such, but have learned through Lady C that one of the married Hoare son's was a lover of Diana's for some time, and Diana caused much trouble in his marriage over such. Not at all decent of her! Shocking in fact! Thrilled though, that he and his much loathed PUPETEER have been excluded from the wedding list.

[@fly89]

they most probably know each other and possibly related 😊

[@truthseeker444]

This might of made more sense if you had shown her genealogy chart, and actually showed how she is related to the people you mention, what's more, with DNA testing, people are not always actually related in any way to people that might be in the genealogy chart. The Duke of Westminster was once asked how one could become fabulously rich like him, and his answer was onto the lines of "find a Norman ancestor", so hardly an accident that these 2 got paired off.

[@zn65-38qbit]

I have Norman ancestors on both sides, if only it were that easy :) All those large families meant that most missed out on the wealth and blended into the general public. Apparently most English are actually decended from Alfred the Great. Fascinating history though.

🇬🇧 We are all human after all. Forget the money. Striving to be a ' good ' person is the most important thing . In my opinion. Being rich, entails huge responsibilities to people, buildings, investments etc. I am so very happy with my ' simple ' life. i.e. The lovely woodlands / nature reserve at the bottom of the garden. All those lovely things. Ps. Surely it's pronounced ' Bever ' Castle.

Clearly the Duke was not seeking a bride from the tat that frequented Soho House and fortunately, is smart enough to see what happens when you do.

The bride is the daughter of Marques of Bristol, an aristocrat herself. Most likely that their social circles overlap.

A great grand-daughter , I think . Not so close to those mad Victor & John .

[@marinedrive5484]

From the Norman Conquest to the late 17th century, France rather than Germany was the focus of English foreign policy. Intermarriage, particularly amongst the nobility, was an extension of foreign policy. Would it be possible for you to examine some of the connections that have arisen throughout this era? Or - as in my lineage - marriages that were the result of French aristocrats fleeing France after the French Revolution and marrying into the English gentry.

[@renskeconnell8038]

Fascinating!! It seems thoroughly researched. Congratulations!

[@esrana02]

It's almost as if they are TRYING to build a lineage for her. All the connections mentioned are so far fetched. I mean I am a Mughal but does that mean I descend directly from the emperors? Of course not! A family from Norman times must naturally have expanded and diluted so extensively that you can't say for sure that one is a direct descendant. Instead of forging a noble lineage for her, they should stick with the angle of self made middle class...which is just as respectable as being an aristocrat.....unless of course, they have some complexes and want to act as if she "has always belonged"

[@helenlesley5456]

@jozette-pierce…. Good question, In actual fact the Grovener wealth came initially through a card game in the 17thcentury… when London was more like a village… a couple of chaps were playing a card game, one happened to own lots of land around the London area… the winner would take a large proportion … the owner lost his bet… and down through history London became the place it is today… Iam sure you can find a more detailed history… it’s all recorded… so In actual fact the intended wife would probably be more of an aristocrat.

@carolineb3527. Belvoir is a French word & the couple share Norman ancestors, so why pronounce the word 'beever'??

[@carolineb3527]

@@suecollins8199 Because... the Normans weren't French, they'd only settled in France 100 years before invading England, and the French they spoke was not the French spoken today... because the Anglo-Saxon peasantry didn't speak French and mangled the pronunciation so that it sounded like Beaver... and because the habit of calling it beaver has survived almost 1,000 years whereas the original castle(s) are long gone - what's there now is a fake, built in the 19th century, and uses the way the word has been pronounced for centuries.
