Lady Violet Diana Louise Manners (born 18 August 1993) is a British socialite, businesswoman, and model.

Life and career

[edit]

She is the eldest child of David Manners, 11th Duke of Rutland, and Emma Manners, Duchess of Rutland.[1] Lady Violet studied at Queen Margaret's School, York. In May 2023 Lady Violet launched HeritageXplore, a listings and ticketing platform for Britain’s independently owned historic castles, palaces, and manors.

She worked for My Beautiful City, a creative agency[clarification needed] in Soho, before starting her own marketing and brand-strategy consultant company.[2] She also has worked for Robin Birley, in public relations for Gleneagles, and a geopolitical consultant firm called Etoile.

Along with her sisters, Lady Alice and Lady Eliza, Lady Violet is known for her activities within the London social scene.[3][4] She and her sisters have received national press for their outlandish behaviour, being dubbed the "bad-Manners girls."[5][6] She has two younger brothers, Charles Manners, Marquess of Granby, and Lord Hugo Manners. She has worked as a model, having been featured in Tatler and walking the runway for Dolce & Gabbana.[7][8]

Lady Violet's engagement to William James Lindesay-Bethune, Viscount of Garnock, Master of Lindesay (born 1990), son and heir of James Lindesay-Bethune, 16th Earl of Lindsay, was announced in July 2024.[9]
