Wedding of the Earl of Burlington
Mel
Did the wedding of the Earl of Burlington, only son of the 12th Duke
of Devonshire, and Laura Montagu already take place?
I came across this sentence on the website of the art gallery of
Lismore Castle.
"This unusual collaborative exhibition brings together work from the
Devonshire and Rubell Family Collections - pieces from the Devonshire
Collection having been selected by the Rubell Family, while pieces
from the Rubell Collection were selected by William and Laura
Burlington."

Did I miss something or was it a very secret wedding?

I don't know about the wedding, but would be interested to know why he
hasn't assumed the title Marquess of Hartington.
Richard

doesn't really matter at the moment, as he has no heirs, and would
really have to have two sons for it to make a difference, I can't see
him having a big family. I think that the Bride had been married
before or something or was the same age as him? I just hope that the
Devonshire estates have all been put in trust for whoever does succeed
to the Dukedom, as it is on a thread in the current branch of the
family. I should hate to see the estates divided up, and being
inherited by a daughter, just like in Galway case.

Noel married his Zara van Cutsem quietly and they now have a son (a
great-grandson for the present Earl, a grandson for Viscount Campden
who had the only child!). Was this wedding mentioned anywhere?

They may of course have married very quielty. (Only one can't really
see why they should.) But can't they instead just think that they have
a firm enough relation to justify calling themselves "William and
Laura Burlington", without being actually married? As far as I can
tell this doesn't in and by itself convey any legal mening whatsoever.
Married or not, it's neither their legal names nor their titles, just
something peers and their heirs might call themselves when they don't
want to rub their title in the face of everybody, but still make it
perfetcly clear exactly who they are, title included.
If the website had read "...by Earl and Countess of Burlington"
instead, this would have had a completely different legal
significance. So maybe there is a reason that it didn't?

Aristocratic engagement announcements seem to be far more popular than
marriage announcements. I do believe, from a good source, that the
heir to the Duke of Devonshire has married Laura Roundell...

Mandrake in today's Sunday Telegraph says the couple married secretly
in March and that they held "what amounted to a wedding
reception" (the column's words) at Lismore Castle last night.

No previous bride of a future Duke of Devonshire has been a divorcee.
Perhaps because of her previous marriage this wedding wasn't quite the
vast society bash it might have been....
She is however, in the Devonshire tradition, a great beauty..

Well, "marquess" is preoccupied with the continuation of peerages, and
thus with the prodcuction of legitimate heirs. However, I would be
very surprised if the offspring of an intercourse such as the one you
indicated under any circumstances would be considered a legitmate heir
under English, or UK, peerage law.
Started to add top-posting to all your other Usenet sins, BTW?

If you go back to my posting and yours that preceded it, you'll see
that I was limiting myself to stating that there are no cows _in the
paddock_ amongst the British Peerage.

Here's the full text
Belated reception
There has never been a Duke of Devonshire who has married a divorcee,
but the Earl of Burlington, "Stoker" Cavendish's heir, has secretly
wed the former model Laura Montagu. Bill Burlington married Laura, who
divorced Orlando Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich's youngest son, in 2002
after a four-year marriage, in a secret ceremony in March.
Last night, somewhat belatedly, the couple held what amounted to a
wedding reception at Lismore Castle, Bill's ancestral home in County
Waterford, Ireland, attended by more than 250 guests.
"It wasn't actually called a reception, though," whispers a guest.
"They wanted it low-key."
Laura, 35, who is the daughter of Richard Roundell, deputy chairman of
Christie's, has worked as a fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar.
Normally I don't copy the full text, but the short article contains
information about the bride's father etc. Probably, the reason is
that she was divorced (and from an earl's younger son), but there
might be several other reasons.

son of an Earl to marrying the heir to one of England's grandest
titles...
Let's hope one of the reasons they divorced wasn't her inability to
conceive-- otherwise the Dukedom will end up in a collateral branch of
the family...

marquess
sons, then one of the seats might pass to one of them. I forsee that
if the current countess does not do manage to have an heir then, we
could see a splitting up of the family property, the eventual Lord
Cavendish of Furness, already has 20,0000 acres and a good family seat
and only one son. Whom I think has been married recently. The trouble
is that these days with people marry later and men marry women of
their own age say 35+ there is little chance of having a large family,
oh I wish he had married 22 year old!
