Georgia Powell

Georgia Powell, Duchess of Beaufort (born 18 February 1969)[1] is an English journalist and married to Henry Somerset, 12th Duke of Beaufort.[2]

Powell is the daughter of the director and producer Tristram Powell and his wife, the former Virginia Lucas, and is thus a granddaughter of the novelist Anthony Powell.[3] She studied Classics at the University of Oxford, and is best known as a columnist and obituarist for the Daily Telegraph.[4]

Her first marriage, in 1996, was to Tobias Coke; they had a son and a daughter.[4] On 30 April 2018, she married the Duke of Beaufort at St Michael and All Angels Church, Badminton. The Duke had previously divorced his first wife, actress Tracy Ward,[5] after making a public announcement to guests at the Duke of Beaufort's annual hunt ball.[6]
