David Cholmondeley, 49, and Rose, 25, who married at Chelsea Town Hall
in June, have to decide which of their sons will be the heir to the
peer's title and estimated £60 million fortune, which includes one of
England's finest country houses, Houghton Hall, in Norfolk, and a
7,500-acre estate in Cheshire.
Usually, it would be the son who entered the delivery room first, but
as they were born last month by Caesarean section, their parents have
come up with their own, idiosyncratic, solution.
