    Default New Duke Of Westminster 'Owns Half Of London'




    The new seventh Duke of Westminster has inherited his father's ?9bn estate at the age of just 25 and has been described as now owning "half of London".

    Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor, previously known by his honorary title Earl Grosvenor, also inherits Eaton Hall in Cheshire - home to the Grosvenor family since the 15th century.

    One of four siblings, he is the only son of the late Duke of Westminster - who died at the age of 64 on Tuesday - and his wife Natalia.

    He was the youngest chosen by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2013 to be a godfather to Prince George.

    A former student of countryside management at Newcastle University, he has largely kept out of the spotlight, but is known to have thrown a lavish 21st birthday party for 800 guests at Eaton Hall which was reported to have cost ?5m.

    He had inherited his title and became chairman of Grosvenor Holdings - the commercial arm of the estate - at the age of 27 when his father Robert died in 1979.

    Yes but it looks like the royal are having a hard time. seems Duchess of Cambridge is having to do some moonlighting as a French athlete

    "If you were watching the women's road race this past weekend, you probably did a double take at some point while thinking, Wait a minute, is Kate Middleton competing in the Rio Olympics?? Because it sure looks like the Duchess of Cambridge has a doppelg?nger, in the form of French cyclist Pauline Ferrand-Prevot.

    The 24-year-old champion from Reims, a city in northeast France, has an impressive r?sum?: at the age of 23, she became the first person in the history of cycling to simultaneously hold the world road title, world cyclo-cross title, and world mountain bike title."
