Allegra Mostyn-Owen, ex-wife of Boris Johnson

[Shinjinee]

Born circa 1964. Only daughter of art historian and landowner William
Mostyn-Owen (b 1929) and his former wife Gaia Servado (an Italian
author) who were married for 28 years before separating. She married
Boris when both were 23, on 5 September 1987. They separated in 1990,
briefly reconciled and divorced in March 1993. Boris is now married
to Marina Wheeler, and Allegra has recently remarried a much-younger
Pakistani Muslim man. (Has she also changed her religion?). She has no
children by either husband

How is she related to the Mostyn-Owens here?

Sorry, SERVADIO, not Servado. According to her author website, Gaia is
married
with three children.

An additional Mostyn-Owen sighting:

Liz Mostyn-Owen & her husband Maj. Warren Freeman-Attwood were the
parents of Julian David Warren Freeman-Attwood, who in 1998 married
Emily Magda "Emmy" Rothschild, daughter of (Nathaniel Charles) Jacob
Rothschild (4th Baron Rothschild, 5th Bt) and his wife née Serena
Mary Dunn.

Julian and Emmy are parents of two daughters, Ivy Antarctica and Lily
Tibet.

I don't know what connection Liz Mostyn-Owen has to any other Mostyn-
Owen...

I have been asked to post the following on behalf of the subject of
this query:

Allegra Mostyn-Owen is the only daughter and middle (second) of three
children of William Mostyn-Owen and author Gaia Servadio (website:
http://www.gaiaservadio.com/). Her younger brother Orlando Mostyn-
Owen, a painter, is a dual national like her mother.

Gaia Servadio is now married to Hugh Myddelton Byddulph, a distant
cousin of her first husband. Myddelton Byddulph is from an old Marches
family based at Chirk.

I have no further information on how she is descended from the Mostyn-
Owens I found, but a search on Burke's Peerage (which I don't have
access to) will produce the necessary information, I suspect.

Thanks
