The Duchess of Rutland was born Rachel Emma Watkins in September 1963, raised in a farming family within Radnorshire by the Welsh border with Shropshire. The story of her name is a curious one. Her mother wanted to call her Emma because she liked the name, while her father opted for Rachel – a tribute to an aunt of his who did “what few girls did i...
Her Grace mentions in the book that she is adamant of her dyslexia despite being undiagnosed. She mentions difficulties with words and numbers at school, saying: “Numbers were incomprehensible to me. Just like letters, they would jump around the page like fleas, never staying in one place and impossible to pin down.” Other children would pick on he...
The Duchess met David Manners, the Marquis of Granby, at a dinner party in 1990, while working as an interior designer. At this time, she was blissfully unaware of his family heritage, so much so that she assumed he was a pub manager when he referred to himself as the Marquis of Granby – due to the large number of public houses that share the name....
Within the book there are occasions where Her Grace looks back at her earliest memories and recollections of what she calls “sex education”. Her education on sex was “limited if practical”, she says. The Duchess reflects on going to see a musical of Grease with her family, only for her father to rush them out of the theatre as a sex scene begins to...
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.” Approaching a man-made wooden jump to clear a ditch, The Duchess fell off her horse and was tossed to the ground as this large herd of stallions galloped towards her. “I’m goi...
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. When she eventually went into labour...
Charles Manners, the 10th Duke of Rutland, passed away on January 4, 1999. By this time, Emma and David Manners had three children, all young daughters, and were living at Knipton Lodge – but the death of the Duke meant a change of scenery and a new pressing role for them both. The pair automatically became the 11th Duke and Duchess of Rutland foll...
As you can imagine, being the face of one of Britain’s most recognisable stately homes opens up doors for circles of society that aren’t readily available for everyday people. The Duchess of Rutland had befriended TV fashion icon Susannah Constantine – best known as one half of Trinny and Susannah – who in turn invited a number of high profile gues...
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of The Duchess’ more recent life experiences is her 2012 legal separation from The Duke, but mainly the decision not to divorce and to continue living at Belvoir Castle together. Her Grace recalls a party in which David declined a dance, and was spotted dancing and smiling with another woman, someone whose child T...
