Brassey-de Carvalho engagement, a follow-up

[Harry Merritt]

The 17 March postings included the engagement of Hugo Timothy Brassey, born 1982, a scion of the Trefusis barons Clinton, and Louise de Carvalho. The ever-fascinating Heirs of Europe blog -- heirsofeurope.blogspot.com--offers more about Louise de Carvalho under the heading Heineken:

Louise Lucil(l)e H. de Carvalho, born London, July 1986, daughter of Michael Rey Popper de Carvalho, born 1944, and Charlotte Lucille Heineken, born 1954. Mother Charlotte is the daughter of the late Alfred "Freddy" Heineken, the longtime president of the famous Heineken brewery. Can't tell how the bride's father's surname went from Popper to de Carvalho. I know, it's not Peerage connections, but interesting, yes?

By the way, the groom-to-be's Trefusis connections make him a cousin of, among many others, the late Miss Katharine Bowes-Lyon, much discussed of late on Peerage News.

I don't see the Connection here. He doesn't seem to be a descendant of the 14th Earl of Strathmore.

Descendant of the Trefusis family; Katharine Bowes-Lyon's mother was Fenella Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis.

The genealogy reveals nothing about the name change, so perhaps a relative of Michel de Carvalho me Popper? It also shows that Charlene's grandfather Henry Heineken may not have been the son of his mother's first husband who founded the brewery, but the son of the mother's second husband born during the first marriage. I'm sure there were and are plenty of such cases, but I'm intrigued by the blog's decision to go with the legal ancestry...
