It’s a recent nonfiction book that explores the lives, traditions, and eccentricities of Britain’s aristocratic families. Published in September 2025, the book draws on Doughty’s access to dukes, duchesses, earls, and other titled figures to paint a vivid portrait of how the aristocracy functions today. It examines their estates, social roles, and the tension between tradition and modernity, while highlighting how they remain both fascinating and distinct from wider society.
