Cheeky girls! Pals join Marquess of Blandford’s flirty fiancee for hen- do
PRINCE Harry’s wedding may be imminent but another aristocratic union stole the spotlight at the weekend.
Sparky interior designer Camilla Thorp, 31, who is engaged to the Duke of Marlborough’s son and heir the Marquess of Blandford, enjoyed a lively hen party that featured halfnaked bow-tied waiters wearing backless aprons.
We have covered up their behinds with the Duke of Marlborough’s coat of arms to maintain decorum.
Aviation broker George Blandford, 25, who will inherit Blenheim Palace, started dating Camilla at the age of 16 after meeting through pals. Despite splitting briefly in 2015, they reunited after a few months and he proposed last November.
Camilla was joined on her hen do by Ella May Sangster, granddaughter of the late horse-racing magnate Robert, and chocolate scion Jemima Cadbury.
It kicked off on Saturday with a relatively restrained flower arranging workshop in North London, followed by cocktails at a private residence where they were served by the underdressed waiters.
Festivities continued into the small hours at Mayfair private members’ club Annabel’s.
The future marchioness, who attended £36,300-a-year Downe House School, is the daughter of architect James Thorp and interior designer Philippa.
Despite the apparent debauchery of Camilla’s hen do, her father-inlaw-to-be, the Duke, might consider it a tame affair. Formerly described by his despairing father as the ‘black sheep’ of the family, Jamie once blew £20,000 on cocaine in four months during his hell-raising past.
