‘This is a marvellous book’ Heirs and Graces is reviewed in today’s Times and I am feeling rather emotional, again. Thank you @AlwynTurner https://t.co/wkZLgEegFQ

No, said a lisping Bobbety: 'Actually, when you come to think of it, it is weally wather embawassing as most Nobel Pwize winners have done more to pwomote war than peace.' More of this in HEIRS AND GRACES – out now! https://t.co/rYmbAniUt7

I haven't much on the Nobel Prize except: Bobbety Salisbury was once showing some American senators around Hatfield when they came upon a picture of Bob Cecil, an architect of the League of Nations. They said how amazing it must be to have a Nobel Prize winner in the family...

I’m glad to say that it’s online here, and, self-evidently, in today’s paper https://t.co/IxXGsjrP7b

I am utterly thrilled to find my piece on the aristocracy and racing on the front of today’s @RacingPost – truly, little could be more thrilling! What a fun piece to write, pegged to the publication of my book HEIRS AND GRACES, a history of the modern British aristocracy

I wrote a bit for @TheHouseMag about the last of the hereditary peers and it was great fun! Long live the hereds! Or not... https://t.co/JYVpBOSfLd

It was my huge pleasure – after years of trying – to interview the Earl of Iveagh at Elveden for this week's Great Estates. On being a Guinness and that famous name, sitting in the Lords as an Irishman, the brewery, his lovely pa and more, he was fantastic https://t.co/AD5niZdRUq

What a 10/10 way to spend a Friday afternoon! Such fun, I loved it!

Huge thanks to 📚 author of “Heirs and Graces” @brushingboots for sparing the time today to rage that 👑 the aristocracy haven’t disappeared – and definitely haven’t handed all their houses over to the 🏛️ National Trust. We dug into snobbery 🧐, death duties ⚰️, tangled class

You can buy the book here, in all formats! It's even better than this review says it is! And given how long it is, it is absolutely outstanding value for money https://t.co/rYmbAnimDz

How lovely to see a review of my book HEIRS AND GRACES, a history of the modern British aristocracy in this month's @TheCriticMag by @AdeTinniswood. It's also online here! How nice! https://t.co/7yYBFt7vZv

This time in a fortnight I will be ON A STAGE with @violet_manners and @HarryWorcester at the @cheltfestivals talking about the aristocracy and my book! What a thrill! Do come! Tickets here https://t.co/wZjoioR4fg

I just had a good chuckle to myself about this while out with the tiny dog in the sunshine when a particularly nice rendition of Eton’s Boating Song came on my playlist and I just thought, imagine being so joyless! Not me! Not today Satan!

Buy the book about the British aristocracy that EVEN THE GUARDIAN can’t bring itself to hate, here! https://t.co/rYmbAniUt7

How funny that a book about the aristocracy should have in it… loads of information about the aristocracy! Sorry Guardian! (This is a v nice review despite the page furniture – and given the paper’s natural disinclination towards the subject; I am not complaining, just amused)

Same goes for anyone who wants to buy one now! You can get it here! It’s extremely good value for money! There are loads of mad and excellent stories in it! Lots of history! And really, really good pictures too! It’s an excellent punt if I do say so myself https://t.co/rYmbAniUt7

Public service announcement! If you have very kindly bought or if you pre-ordered a copy of my book Heirs and Graces and would like it signed or dedicated I have some Penguin bookplates! DM me and I will post you one with your requested message
