Up at the top of a rocky path in Pembrokshire, Wales, a stunning castle looks over the beach below. Its turrets are like something out of a fairytale, as if it could tell a thousand stories. And for Emily Naper, 63, that’s exactly what it does.
Emily inherited the Manorbier Castle, which is more than 800 years old, as a child. She has been doing it up for much of her adult life. "I didn't choose to own this castle but it came my way," she told Wales Online . "Most people will tell you how spoilt I am but they're not the ones paying the bills. Yes I'm very fortunate but it's not an easy thing to do."
The 63-year-old owns a number of luxurious properties, including an incredible period house in Loughcrew, Ireland, and a stately Loughcrew in County Meath. Asked if she would consider herself posh, she says: "I have posh lineage, yes, but I know how to scrub a floor.”
