He should look for an overseas bride,  possibly Thai, Fillipino or Russian.  I wish him the best of luck.

The latest episode in the saga is that Sir Ben Slade Bt appears to have had a daughter out of wedlock

I thought about cases like his when I read about Frederic Prince van Anhalt (Zsa Zsa Gabor's widower) adopting a 27 year old man to inherit his title and estate.  (He himself was adopted.)

Funny enough, Frederic von Anhalt had several adopted sons while Zsa Zsa Gabor was alive.. I wonder what happen to them ?  His interview was made out that he was completely legitimate.... Obviously, he isn't and the new heir is really after the estate and Zsa Zsa legacies..

The house is now for sale:  Aristocrat’s country estate with Chaucer link on the market for £3.5m

Aristocrat’s country estate with Chaucer link on the market for £3.5m

For the first time in centuries, Sir Benjamin Slade lists the ‘un-stateliest home in England’ for sale

An estate owned by a millionaire aristocrat who once launched a public pursuit for a “lady of the house” is for sale for £3.5m.

The Grade II*-listed Maunsel House has been owned by Sir Benjamin Slade, 79, since his father, Sir Michael Nial Slade, died in 1962.

The 13-bedroom property in Somerset was placed in receivership in June 2024, with a view to be sold to cover Sir Benjamin’s debts.

It is now coming to the market for the first time in centuries. The estate includes the main house, two cottages and over 11 acres of parkland.

The estate has a rich history – it previously hosted Alfred the Great and Queen Matilda, and is said to be where Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales [….]
