The Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, was famously described by his father as being “born with the longest silver spoon anyone can have”.

Grosvenor, 32, owns more than 300 acres of some of London’s fanciest properties in Mayfair and Belgravia as part of a global, family-owned property empire valued at £9.5bn, making him the third richest person in the UK and, according to Tatler – until this weekend – the country’s “most eligible bachelor”.
