A friend of William’s from his teenage years and a school friend of Kate’s from Marlborough College, glamorous Emilia has been credited with introducing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. 

Her husband David Jardine-Paterson is the scion of a Scottish landowning family descended from the illustrious Hong Kong banking Jardines and was a contemporary of Prince William’s at Eton.

Like his wife, Mr Jardine-Paterson also has a Middleton connection: his younger brother, JJ, went out with Pippa for four years.
