William Herbrand Thomas Sackville, Lord Buckhurst (born 13 June 1979), is the son and heir of William Sackville, 11th Earl De La Warr. He was styled Lord Buckhurst on 9 February 1988, upon his father's succession to the earldom.[1]
Buckhurst is a godson of Princess Margaret.[1] He was educated at Eton, and graduated from Newcastle University with a BA (Hons) in Classical Studies.[2][3][4]
He manages a hedge fund and private client portfolios in the City of London, where he joined the investment firm Quilter Cheviot in 2006, having previously worked at UBS Wealth Management and Laing & Cruickshank.[3][5]
In September 2009, Buckhurst became engaged to Countess Xenia Tolstoy-Miloslavsky, the daughter of author and historian Count Nikolai Tolstoy-Miloslavsky, distantly related to author Leo Tolstoy.[5] Educated at Downe House, she spent a gap year working with children in Kenya before setting up an orphanage in Estonia, and later became a jewellery designer.[2] She was previously romantically linked to Andrew Ferguson, half-brother of Sarah, Duchess of York.[2]
The marriage took place on 5 February 2010, at the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition in London.[6] A son and heir, William Lionel Robert Sackville, was born on 24 January 2014.[7]
The family seat is Buckhurst Park, Sussex.[5]
