The One School You Can Send Your Daughter To Make Her "Lean Into" A Rich And Famous Man

Among the girls who have attended Marlborough, the first major independent school to go co-ed, starting with its 1968 sixth form — there is a more fascinating trend. For here, the brightest and best are listed remarkably often next to the words ‘wife of.’ Most famous, of course, is the Duchess of Cambridge, ‘wife of’ our future king. But see also, Samantha Cameron, ‘wife of’ the Prime Minister. Frances Osborne, ‘wife of’ the Chancellor. Sally Bercow, ‘wife of’ the Speaker. Diana Fox, ‘wife of’ the Governor of the Bank of England…. Its reach of influence stretches across the internet, fashion, the BBC and Hollywood, through old girls Amanda Rosenberg (dating Google founder Sergey Brin); Amanda Harlech (former wife of Lord Harlech, and muse to Karl Lagerfeld); Elizabeth Ann Clough (long-term partner of Jeremy Paxman); and Georgina Chapman, ‘wife of’ Oscar-winning producer Harvey Weinstein.

The Telegraph issues the most delightful school news of all, if you’re still catching up on “how to live like it’s the 1700s.” And best, Marlborough is a seven day a week boarding school, so you never have to see the kiddo until graduation. Fly free from your parents and into the arms of some wealthy man, little Croatia, Arugula and Persephone!
