Viscountess Garnock Shares Pregnancy Joy

Lady Violet Manners, now Viscountess Garnock, is in her second trimester of pregnancy and is due to welcome her first child with husband William Lindesay-Bethune, Viscount Garnock, in early July. The couple, who married in June of the previous year, expressed their joy and excitement about this new chapter.

Violet, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, shared that the initial weeks were a 'shock' but she is now ready for this next step. William, co-founder of Feragaia, expressed his eagerness to start a family after a life of travel.

The baby will be the first grandchild for Violet's parents and adds to the tenth grandchild for William's parents. The couple has chosen not to discover the baby's gender, adding to the anticipation. Violet has experienced a smooth pregnancy, engaging in workouts and looking forward to a natural birth.

Their home is being prepared for the new arrival, with the nursery next on the list for decoration, planned with a gender-neutral theme. The couple envisions raising their child with a spirit of curiosity and adventure in Scotland, balancing freedom with clear boundaries.

Reflecting on their wedding, which took place at Belvoir Castle, Violet described it as a 'magical' celebration. They have also shared details of their respective hen and stag parties and their honeymoon safari in South Africa. Violet continues to be passionate about her business, HeritageXplore, aiming to engage the next generation with heritage sites.
