The Duchess oversaw the launch of Belvoir's retail unit the Engine Yard, situated in what was once a saw mill, wagon making shop and a wheelwright's shop, which opened in May 2018 following a substantial £2.5million renovation. She inherited her entrepreneurial spirit for her mother, Emma, who is CEO of Belvoir Castle and has led the drive to make the estate more profitable.

Her Notting Hill flat, thought to be worth £700,000, also features in posts promoting her website, through which she offers her services as an interior designer and sells high-end furniture - including a set of brass bamboo effect cutlery for £700. The interior designer, who is dating jeweller Charlie Barron, enjoys nights out to the likes of Claridge's or private members' club Annabel's and has jetted off on no fewer than two foreign holidays - to Greece and then Italy - since July. She must now pay just £50.Ī quick glance at Lady Eliza's Instagram account makes it difficult to believe she could not have afforded to pay the full fine. The society beauty, whose family seat is Belvoir Castle, which served as a filming location for The Crown, allegedly wrote to Lavender Hill Magistrates Court in London asking for a reduction to the £100 penalty, claiming it would cause 'cash flow issues'. Yet just two weeks later Lady Eliza, 24, the youngest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, was convicted of a speeding offence - she was driving her Audi at 47mph in a 40mph zone - for which she received a reduced fine due to 'financial hardship'. Posing on a Milan street in a vintage Yves Saint Laurent outfit she had picked up that week, Lady Eliza Manners looks every inch the well-heeled young British aristo - elegant, beautiful and, unquestionably, wealthy.
