Marquess of Granby’s model girlfriend Ella

WITH their naked selfies, on- screen rows and tangled love lives, U.S. reality TV stars the Kardashians might seem to have little in common with the aristocratic Manners family who live at magnificent Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire. I hear there is, however, an intriguing connection to the Duke of Rutland’s clan. The Duke’s amiable son and heir Charles, the Marquess of Granby, 19, is enjoying a passionate romance with Ella Ross, 23, (left) a model who used to go out with Scott Disick, a regular on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. ‘Charles is serious about the relationship,’ one of his friends tells me. ‘Ella’s a lovely girl, but I’m not sure he’s ready to make her the Marchioness just yet.’ Ambitious Ella, 23, is the daughter of Shelley Ross, a former lapdancer. She wants to parade on the catwalk for Victoria’s Secret lingerie, explaining: ‘ That’s every model’s dream, isn’t it?’

Ella might have stepped out with a Kardashians’ star, but can she keep up with her boyfriend’s high- spirited sisters, Lady Violet, Lady Alice and Lady Eliza Manners?
