I get the vibe that her family aren't close like that. I'm the same, if I had as much money as Grace so much of it would be going to help out my parents and siblings (though I suppose her parents don't exactly need the help). I honestly find their family dynamic so weird. I wonder if it's a result of them all going to boarding school.I wonder whether Grace has offered to help out financially with Flora’s renovations. If I had all that money, I couldn’t bear to see my sister saving up to renovate while I was sitting on millions. Cant decide if Grace would’ve just not offered or if Flora has said she wants to go it alone.
yeh i think her and grace don't seem very close, it is interesting Grace has (as far as I am aware) promoted anything about Flora. Flora seems much more down to earth and sensibleShe did say some stuff that I appreciated in that video, as much as I was ready to hate her not just for her association with Grace but because of some stupid shit she’s said previously.
Maybe it shows how ridiculous the influencer world is, but I appreciated that the house she bought is a normal terraced house, not in London or a gorgeous countryside vista, that looks like it cost £300Kish tops (gross that that’s a low price tbh) and that she said it’s financially irresponsible to fling yourself into totally renovating a house whose needs you havent sussed out yet. Also, when she said she couldn’t afford to renovate it despite it looking nowhere near Instagram ready, it was a breath of fresh air as I can’t be fucked with renovation bloggers whose tOtAl renovations are just totally unrealistic for most people. It’s still not true to reality 100% as most young people can’t buy a house at all, but it’s a load better than Grez 2.8MillionSquidHouse Beverley
If she actually believes the stuff she’s saying - something I’m cynical of given how much influencers bs - I wonder what grace thinks of it as honestly the shit she labelled as irresponsible is stuff Grace does.
the thing i found most weird was when Grace said she wasn't allowed to keep her food in the fridge when she lived in her mum's house... they seem like a typical rich but dysfunctional family where no one really gets onI get the vibe that her family aren't close like that.

why would she help?I wonder whether Grace has offered to help out financially with Flora’s renovations. If I had all that money, I couldn’t bear to see my sister saving up to renovate while I was sitting on millions. Cant decide if Grace would’ve just not offered or if Flora has said she wants to go it alone.
Flora is older so shouldn’t she have got hers yet?why would she help?
they're literally trust fund babies - flora will get her money when her time comes lol
For me the question is why wouldn't she help? Like I said - if I'd made all that money, bought myself a million pound house and had it all done up, there is no way over my cold dead body that I wouldn't help my sister (or any other member of my immediate family) out. Flora may well have a trust fund, but she is telling us right now she can't afford renovations so obviously she doesn't have access to it if that is the case. Personally I don't understand not helping your sister out when you have all that money, unless Flora has categorically refused the help.why would she help?

I feel like Grace is too capitalist and money grabby for thatI wonder whether Grace has offered to help out financially with Flora’s renovations.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I mean, if Flora has a trust fund coming - lend her the money? Have her pay it back later? I just can't get my head around having my sister tell the world on social media she can't afford to do up her house, everyone knowing you're a literal millionaire, and not feeling embarrassed by that tbh. Makes me squirm.I feel like Grace is too capitalist and money grabby for that
Or this yeah - if they’re truly as “iNdEpEnDent” as Grace always said when they were raised, they wouldn’t take each other’s “iNdEpeNdently” earned money or Flora may simply just not want Grace’s money knowing the kind of sources it comes from - green washing, lying, exploiting. (Putting aside what they’ll get from their parents)Flora has categorically refused the help.
I am not sure (I sadly don't have one, nor do I know anyone who does..) but (from what I have seen on tv lol) I think whoever gives it to you can decide on any terms, it could be based on age/when you get married/have a child etc. I think Grace's selfish attitude to money says more than anything how she is not the left wing person she claims to be. I get not maybe wanting to lend her sister huge sums of money but I would have thought she would have bought her some furniture or something?I literally know nothing about trust funds but kind of assumed you would get access when you turn 18? Or is it down to your parents and they say when you get it? Isn’t Flora like 26, you’d think at her age and when she’s buying a house might be a good time to get access to it!
Trusts have different rules which are entirely up to the trustee. The form you're talking about, where you get access as soon as you're 18, is a "bare trust". Although my understanding of trusts is also not great I think that's unlikely what Grace's family have done just because the level of money/assets they hold - I think they'd have something a lot more complex to distribute their wealth to their kids.I literally know nothing about trust funds but kind of assumed you would get access when you turn 18?

I’m pleasantly surprised she has bought a normal house, looks like a 1930s semi detached and the area is very normal for Bristol. I thought she’d get a fancy place somewhere like Clifton or redland, maybe st Andrew’s where you’d be looking at upwards of 600k.
Possibly a future student rental.I was searching for a house at the same time as Flora and remember seeing this one listed online, it was for 375k but she may not have paid asking for it.
My parents kept us a trust fund (of money not of property/assets) - which I am well aware that I enormously enormously privileged and lucky to have. It was not automatically given at 18 but rather given/trickled down over the years to help for buying a first house/higher education but particularly for my sibling's care for when my parents die as he has complex disabilities.I literally know nothing about trust funds but kind of assumed you would get access when you turn 18?

I have never really watched her videos but was curious to see the house , it is fascinating how different she is to Grace, she seems genuinley ecstatic and lucky with the house( which she should be, buying somewhere is a huge step if you are able to), whereas with grace and her mansion and millions of pounds of rennovations she just gave off an air of bragging. Obviously the house isn't huge but why would they need a huge house for 2 people? It makes much more sense to buy somewhere like this (especially if you care about sustainability) than a huge house just to fill with things you don't need imo, especially for your first own placeI’m pleasantly surprised she has bought a normal house, looks like a 1930s semi detached and the area is very normal for Bristol.
