The Earl of Derby already has a lot to celebrate before the Epsom Derby, which is in five weeks. I can reveal that Lord (Edward) Stanley, the Earl and Countess’s eldest son and heir, will wed a prominent TikTok user.
“We could not be more thrilled by Ed and Victoria’s engagement,” the earl, Edward Stanley, tells me. Ed, 28, an Eton graduate, is engaged to Victoria Jooris, 26, a Belgian noblewoman who has about 15,000 followers on the video-sharing site where she poses in fashionable attire and shares insights into her glamorous lifestyle. The 17-bedroom family home close to Liverpool, Knowsley Hall, is up for inheritance by his son, whose godfather is, regrettably, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Knowsley Safari Park, established by the earl’s uncle in 1971, is the reason for its fame.
The earl and his family are honoured guests at the Grand National at Aintree. Up until 2014, two police motorbike outriders would accompany their automobile on the short 20-mile round-trip from Knowsley Hall and back.
The 12th Earl founded the Epsom Derby in Surrey in 1780.
“Victoria is fabulous and we have loved getting to know her over the last four years since we first met her at Aintree,” the earl tells me about his future daughter-in-law.
Ed, 28, who attended Eton, is engaged to 26-year-old Belgian noblewoman Victoria Jooris, who has about 15,000 TikTok followers.
Victoria frequently shows her fans what she’s wearing.She used to go out with Prince Alexandre D’Arenberg and is the daughter of a Belgian baron.
Victoria works as an associate at the massive investment firm Bridgepoint and resides in west London. She used to go out with Prince Alexandre D’Arenberg, an heir of one of the most well-known families in the Low Countries, and is the daughter of a Belgian baron.
Ed, a private equity professional, served as the late Queen Elizabeth II’s page of honour.
Next year, he and Victoria, who attended Oxford University at different times, will exchange vows at Knowsley Hall.
Liz Earle, who turns 63 this month, maintains that she is never confused for her 46-year-old boyfriend’s mother. “I don’t think he looks as though he’s out with his mum,” the beauty entrepreneur adds, keeping her beau a secret.
“When we’re out together, it feels completely normal, and I don’t think we look particularly like an odd couple,” she continues.
Liz Earle, who turns 63 this month, is adamant that people never mistake her for her 46-year-old boyfriend’s mother.
Liz, who has been married twice and has five children and one granddaughter, claims that tests to determine her biological age have yielded findings ranging from 28 to 44.
She puts it down to about forty, though.
“I do feel decades younger,” she says. When I tell folks I’m in my 60s when they ask how old I am, I have to catch myself. I don’t really relate to it, in part because I have a much younger boyfriend, so it feels like a bit of an out-of-body experience.
Zawe Ashton may experience intense feelings as a result of her relationship with Tom Hiddleston.
Zawe is a huge fan of his former co-star Claire Danes, and the 41-year-old Fresh Meat star acknowledges that she lost her cool when he presented her to her.
“I got to have dinner with Claire, and Tom worked with her on The Essex Serpent,” she says. I thought, “I don’t know if I can do this,” on the drive there.
In the middle of dinner, Zawe eventually revealed her fandom: “It was a ‘never meet your heroes’ moment that went extremely well.”
Claire Danes (L) is a huge fan of Zawe Ashton (R), who is dating Tom Hiddleston (center).
“I write to inform you that series four of Industry [the BBC’s sex-and-drug-fueled high finance drama] isn’t just worth your precious time; isn’t just televisual Viagra,” wrote Amol Rajan, whose absence from Radio 4’s Today programme to compete in Celebrity Traitors caused murmurs among colleagues left to cover the local elections. It is now a part of the pantheon. television that is on par with literature.
Rajan, who is very busy, has accepted two invites to play himself in the show.Really, I’m not running for a third cameo. He says, “I don’t have to.”
Michael Forsyth, the new Speaker of the House of Lords, is in hot water with the government over forty-four words of defiance.
Lord Forsyth congratulated the leaving hereditary peers for their “distinguished service” in two brief remarks at the beginning of the prorogation ceremony on the last day of Parliament last week.
I’ve been told that Sir Keir Starmer was advised not to do so by class warriors in his administration. Their mannerisms horrified Forsyth, who chose to ignore them.
Additionally, the Starmerites prevented peers from dedicating an hour of the previous week’s operations to paying respects to the departing hereditaries. When did being gracious become forbidden?
Michael Whitehall, the father of Jack Whitehall, delivered a speech prior to the comedian’s marriage to model Roxy Horner, but he unintentionally got the largest laugh.
“Everyone roared with laughter when I said, ‘I love you, for some reason,’ after writing some notes,” recounts Michael.”No, sorry, I love you for so many reasons is what I meant,” I answered after taking another look at it.
