Hereditary and non-hereditary aristocrats and gentry for UK and Europe Chat

The Honourable Mungo Hay has an interesting first name.

It's a very Scottish name. I have heard of it before several times among the Scottish aristocracy and upper classes but it was more common fifty years ago than it is now, so may well be a family name.

Some more info

'The name Mungo is a boy's name of Scottish origin meaning "my pet". Mungo is one of the most classic Scottish names but perhaps also among the most difficult names to carry. There is a St. Mungo whose proper name was Kentigern; he is the patron saint of Glasgow.'

Thanks for all the updates on various threads @fawbert

Thanks. I tend to be a bit hit and miss here but will be more dutiful in future. :-)

I did not think that Prince Henry would attend the wedding of The Duke of Westminster.

Mungo is a forename regularly used in the family of the Earl of Mansfield & Mansfield.

The former deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine has a grandson Mungo.

The Duchess of Roxburghe, chatelaine of Scotland's grandest castle, wife of the 11th Duke, gave birth to a son and heir some weeks ago. (If it has been recorded here already please forgive)

NOPE!! Duke of Westminster makes his own decision not invite Harry and Meghan to Duke of Westminster's wedding in June 7 but remember in 2004 his sister not invited Camilla due to not seat with Charles because of not appropriate seat and expect for her family and her husband's family before Charles and Camilla become monarch but late Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh,Prince William and Prince Harry also among attend

It would be a wonderful surprise if King Charles attended the wedding.
   It would be even more surprising if The Princess of Wales attended the wedding!
