I keep lol'ing at that clip from Sky News of the reference to her Grandfather, Sir Nigel Broackes, who left an estate worth over £16,000,000 in 1999. Adjusted for inflation, in 2021, that would be worth just under £30,000,000. Imagine your Granda leaving your mum or dad an estate worth that much. Boggles the mind really. However, you're so "business savvy" that you became "financially independent" from the age of 13.
Researching a little, I found an article from the Washington Post.
"Using a legacy from his grandfather, Sir Nigel dabbled in property development, initially with little success. But he used his last asset, a small apartment block, to gain control of a new company, Trafalgar House, and built it into a world leader in technology-based engineering services and international construction. He served first as managing director, then as chairman from 1969 to 1992. He was knighted in 1984.
Today, Trafalgar House has annual sales of more than $4 billion, has 28,000 employees and owns the Cunard cruise line and London's Ritz Hotel.
Handsome and self-assured, Sir Nigel was a brilliant strategist who was happy to delegate day-to-day running of the group to his partner, Victor Matthews, a former builder and later Lord Matthews."
Delegating seems to be the buzzword of the day, even back then. Her Grandfather starting a company that today turns over 4 billion!
All that and she still claims to have had to "babysit" to make money, became independent monetarily through her hard work in her early teens, "started" 3 businesses from scratch and had "late" missed payments to her university and was on the VERY edge of being kicked out. WOW, what an incredible, gold, diamond encrusted rags to riches story.
I can guarantee the average "fan" or social media commenter has no idea about this. They think Grace came from a "privileged" background as Grace mentions this scarcely in the odd interview (more framed as a race angle) but have little notion about any of the details, as Grace has done her utmost to avoid or confuse the situation. Talking about what I said above, "ya girls a saving queen".. "I can't justify spending £100 on a dress".. "Does anybody have any discounttt codes plzzz" You're family is worth literally 10s of millions of pounds, you don't need a 10% discount code to buy a pair of boots out of Zara.
Then, the Sky News interview. The host or researcher for them, does a quick 30 second google search and realises all her self made claims are virtual hogwash and they mention that her Grandad ran Trafalgar House. As other commenters have said, she could have ran with it and said yeah, what an amazing man, he was a real inspiration to many and Id love to live up to all the great achievement he had. Instead, the cogs running a million miles an hour in a split second. What can I say? Oh god.. the privilege. If people look this up. Ehh.. "That's.... true"... What an odd statement. Dismissive. Blunt. Accurate. That is true. What more can be said. No spin. No clever retort. No charming stories. Two words and a fake smile. In a sea of lies and mistruths and smoke and mirrors. The truth needs to be pointed out.
