He is son to Anthony and Miranda Preston, and brother to Alex and Lucy Preston. His grandfather is the Princeton University English professor Samuel Hynes. Preston is the direct descendent of the former British Prime Minister Charles, Earl Grey.

I would have said Rex, but he was so adenoidal, he couldn't even speak fluently and his grammar wasn't great.

He was the subject of tabloid scrutiny but I don't recall him being "picked up by the police", though .....

He's not really posh, either, he's a just a millionaire businessman .....

Depends on the persons definition of posh I suppose. I wouldnt call him posh myself but I know some people would.

He didnt turn up for the final night because he was either in rehab or had just came out for his coke and call girl addiction as I recall, went on to write a book.

ben and freddie were just spoiled children of posh people. And i doubt their parents were as upper-class as they like to think. I wouldn't consider them legitimately posh themselves.

I'd suggest Alexander Armstrong (comedian, actor and television presenter) :

Quote:

Armstrong was born in Rothbury, Northumberland the youngest of three children to Emma Virginia P (née Thompson-McCausland) and Henry Angus Armstrong. He was educated at Durham School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read English and was a member of the college choir. Armstrong was featured in an episode of the BBC One genealogy documentary series Who Do You Think You Are?, through which he discovered that he was a descendant of William the Conqueror. With his father's side of his family already well-known to him as the land-owning Armstrong family of Rothbury and William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong, the series traced his mother's side of the family, beginning with the McCauslands seated in Drenagh in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, through the Rouse-Boughton family, to Edward Somerset, 2nd Marquess of Worcester, a descendant of William the Conqueror via Edward III and the Beauforts, Dukes of Somerset.

Money but no blue blood, though - well down the "posh" pecking order ..... merely nouveau riche .....

So Freddie's only first-generation posh, living off daddy's dirty money .....

One of Alexander's family:

Quote:

Edward Somerset, 2nd Marquess of Worcester (1601? – 3 April 1667), styled Lord Herbert of Ragland from 1628–1644, was an English nobleman involved in royalist politics; he was also an inventor. In the book he authored in 1655, of over 100 inventions, the power and applications of what would become the steam engine are clearly described.

Lord Herbert was a Cavalier who supported Charles I in Wales and raised a regiment of horse for him. He was rewarded in 1644 with a peerage, being created Earl of Glamorgan and Baron Beaufort, of Caldecote. He succeeded his father as Marquess of Worcester in 1646.

He was formally banished in 1649, but after four years in Paris returned to England in 1653. He was discovered, charged with high treason (for his liaison with Catholics in Ireland) and sent to the Tower of London; he was treated leniently by the Council of State, and released on bail in 1654.

Remind me again how many brits feature in the top ten of the Forbe's top 10- richest list?

richest doesn't necessarily equal poshest

lostalex · 15-01-2011, 12:59 AM

When the british royalty start getting "poked with sticks" i think it's time to retire the fantasy that britsh royalty is very royal at all. lol

I think it's time we started calling a spade a spade. The British royals are just a bunch of inbred white-trash living on the DOLE.

I think you need to take a page out of the American playbook. Put your inbreds in trailer parks, not palaces.

If they want attention, let them go on Jeremy Kyle like all other desperate attention seeking inbreds.
