Meet some of the most noble women in the UK - from well-connected duchesses to lesser-known ladies

Duchesses, ladies, baronesses.

Duchesses, ladies, baronesses, marchionesses and viscountesses might seem like something out of a fairytale - or a Hollywood film at least - but there are real-life women connected to the British aristocracy who hold such titles. It might be that they inherited the ability to style themselves in such a way at birth, or perhaps they received the privilege upon marriage.

There are many famous titled women, including a swathe who are closely linked to the royal family - from Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh to Princess Diana's niece, Lady Kitty Spencer. However, other decorated celebrities include Lady Mary Charteris, Baroness Brady and Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath.
