Marquess of Colmondeley Appointed as King’s Lord-in-Waiting
The Marquess of Colmondeley, David Roxevidge, has been offered a new role in the royal court by King Charles.
According to reports by the UK Express, the Marquess, who is a neighbor to Prince William and Princess Catherine, will now serve as the King's Lord-in-waiting after having been replaced as Lord Great Chamberlain last year.
This new position will require him to attend significant state and royal occasions, as well as represent the monarch at official events when called upon.
With his extensive experience as a filmmaker and his close proximity to the royals, he is an ideal fit for this role.
David and his wife Rose Hanbury reside at Hooton Hall, a magnificent estate located in Norfolk, which is surrounded by a sprawling 1,000-acre parkland.
The estate is situated just two miles away from the Queen's Sandringham home, where the Prince and Princess of Wales frequently spend their Christmas holidays.
