HEIR FOR EARL OF UXBRIDGE????

[Patricia Light]

Benedict Dashiell Thomas Paget, Earl of Uxbridge, has an instagram page (well i think its his as he refers to his wife Katherine) & the following picture appeared which shows a baby who was 6 months old today (February 2022) as Dashiell Beaudesart. Benedict (Earl of Uxbridge had the title LORD PAGET OF BEAUDESART before his father inherited the title of Marquess of Anglesey.

Anyhow, Benedict appears to be something of a poet praising DASHIELL BEAUDESART who came into our lives 6 months ago (posted February 2022) so that would mean he was born in 2021.

Don't know what anyone else thinks? There is a strong possibility that this could be an h.p. to Marquessate of Anglsey

I thought "h.p." meant "heir presumptive", i.e. someone who could be displaced by a later birth, but surely this boy is h.a. to the h.a.?

The General Register Office index shows Henry Dashiell H Paget (mother's maiden name Sherry) born Q3/2021 in Gwynedd.

True, i get muddled, anyhow he would inherit after his father. Thanks for the information, that's one they Debretts missed and everyone else. Now we even have a surname for Katherine Rose!!

Is the child's full name "Henry Dashiel H. Paget"? And when did the former Lord Paget marry?

In an earlier post (October 2021, https://groups.google.com/g/peerage-news/c/hagteiP8MlU/m/0d7knu1OBAAJ) Patricia Light reported "Debretts database shows that the Earl of Uxbridge (son of Marquess of Anglesey married Katherine Rose in 2018." The marriage was evidently before 28 August 2018, when Katherine became a director of Wildheart Escapes Ltd (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10583849) under the name "Lady Katherine Rose Paget Uxbridge".

The GRO index shows that the child's first two forenames are Henry Dashiell (not Dashiel) and the third forename is something beginning with H.
