Life and career
editShe 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, the first platform to unite Britain’s independently owned historic castles, palaces, and manors. HeritageXplore offers an immersive discovery and booking experience, making it easier than ever to find out when these places are open, whats happening behind their doors and make sure you don't miss the chance to experience British heritage for yourself.
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]
Manners' 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]
