NEW EARL ‘WON’T NEED NANNY’

THERE’S one thing the 8th Earl and his wife, right, won’t be doing now they’re parents to 11-month-old Lady Daphne: hiring a nanny.

‘Although we are both very busy with our work we like to do everything ourselves, we are sharing the child care and have no need for a professional nanny,’ explains Countess Lucan, 39, at the champagne launch of her new country clothing range Lucan Fashion at Augustus Brandt in Petworth, Sussex.

The Danish billionaire’s daughter has teamed up with tailor Timothy Everest, who has designed clothes for David Beckham and Colin Firth.

‘When I have to go somewhere for work George takes over — and when he has to do something, I do, so we work it out between us and it’s not a problem.’
