The shopkeeper was not seriously hurt but she was very shaken by the incident, police said Scunthorpe
The Duchess of Rutland has published an autobiography about her unlikely life progression from unassuming farmer’s daughter on the Welsh border to gatekeeper at one of the most iconic stately homes in the country – Belvoir Castle.
Here are some of the things we took away from reading The Accidental Duchess, which you can buy from theThe Accidental Duchess explores Her Grace Emma Manners’ unlikely journey through life. Her first job was as an acting waitress at just 10 years old, at her Heartsease family home, which had been converted into a B&B as an extra income source. She would take breakfast orders and help make the beds for new guests.Emma Manners, the Duchess of Rutland, has released an autobiography about her remarkable life.
Discussing the era she grew up and the way issues such as believed dyslexia were viewed, Her Grace writes: “There is no doubt that, if i were tested now, I’d be diagnosed as dyslexic. But fifty years ago, few people even knew the word, let alone what it meant. As far as everyone was concerned, Emma Watkins was ‘slow’.”The Duchess met David Manners, the Marquis of Granby, at a dinner party in 1990, while working as an interior designer.
Within the book there are occasions where Her Grace looks back at her earliest memories and recollections of what she calls “sex education”. Shortly after her marriage, Her Grace joined a hunt in Belvoir on a November morning, leading the way on her horse in what she described as “the charge of the light brigade.”
Shortly after Christmas 1992, The Duke and Duchess found out they were expecting their first child, which “thrilled” Her Grace as she had always wanted a large family, but also haunted her as she discovered she was in the early stages of pregnancy when she fell off her horse in the previously mentioned incident.
The pair automatically became the 11th Duke and Duchess of Rutland following Charles Manners’ passing, and Her Grace says in the book that “nothing and everything changed” as a result. One of those occasions saw invitations handed out to Hollywood giants Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant, as well as one of the biggest power couples on the planet – David and Victoria Beckham.
