She's got quite a pedigree .....

Jemma Madeleine Wellesley, Countess of Mornington (née Kidd; born 20 September 1974), more known by her maiden name as Jemma Kidd, is a British countess by courtesy, make up artist and fashion model.

Jemma is the second child of Johnny Kidd (a businessman and former showjumping champion) and Wendy Madeline Hodge Kidd, the daughter of Sir John Rowland Hodge, 2nd Baronet. She is great-granddaughter of Lord Beaverbrook.

Her husband has an immaculate pedigree:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur..._of_Mornington

Arthur Gerald Wellesley, Earl of Mornington (born 31 January 1978), also known as simply Arthur Mornington, is the elder son of Charles Wellesley, 9th Duke of Wellington. Since 2014, following the succession of his father as Duke of Wellington, he is entitled to the courtesy title of Marquess of Douro but continues to use the title Earl of Mornington.

The Wellesleys are an aristocratic Anglo-Irish family. Through his mother, Antonia von Preussen, Duchess of Wellington, he is a great-great-grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II. As a descendant of Queen Victoria, he is eligible to succeed to the British throne.

Earl of Mornington is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1760 for the Anglo-Irish politician and composer Garret Wellesley, 2nd Baron Mornington. On the death of the fifth earl in 1863 it passed to the Duke of Wellington.

Regarding the "30", none of the ladies seems particularly well-dressed, although, as usual, Meghan does a good job, while most of the men look quite smart.

Thank goodness poor little George looks reasonably normal there, they normally dress those poor kids to look like throwbacks to the 50s.

And why is Lady Jean Campbell wearing my nightie!!!!! Cheek!
Even if I had a fraction of their money I would continue to wear the clothes I wear now Ruthio.....

Was their brief......'Things you can obtain from a charity shop?' And who would consider wearing 'Jeans' to be well dressed.....So terribly working class....
Some of those designers are taking the p**s....

Re: Britain's best dressed 2018

I feel the men are at a disadvantage, their clothes are quite boring, they don't have the choice women have.
Designers need to make men more flamboyant.
