The smart set’s talking about... Granola heiress Angelica O’Donnell

WITH her kinsmen including the celebrated photographers Lord Snowdon and Patrick Lichfield, Angelica O’Donnell was always likely to make a name for herself.

And the daughter of food entrepreneur Lucy O’Donnell — who created upmarket granola brand LoveDean — is wasting no time, having established her own children’s fashion line by the tender age of 18.

It’s called Beany Baby clothes and is not the first time that Angelica’s tried to make money. ‘When I was a child I used to breed and sell tadpoles,’ she tells me.

‘I saved up to buy a lobster I called Lobby.’

Sadly, that enterprise ended in disaster. ‘I was deeply hurt when I woke up one day to find Lobby had eaten all my beloved tadpoles.’ Having left £38,790-per-year St Mary’s School Ascot, to which she won a coveted art scholarship, Angelica is to study international relations at St Andrews University. First, though, she’s travelling to Costa Rica to help save endangered turtles. The trip will, however, mean she’s away from her Eton-educated boyfriend, George Agnew, 19. His family is just as distinguished — his father is cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew, who was responsible for causing radio’s most prolonged fit of giggles. It came after Aggers remarked on a curious dismissal during a match between England and the West Indies, in which Ian Botham’s inner thigh had brushed his stumps, dislodging a bail: ‘He just didn’t quite get his leg over.’
