The year 2009 welcomed plenty of firsts for Rose Hanbury: a new husband, the title of Marchioness, as well as the birth of her twin sons, Alexander Hugh George Cholmondeley, Earl of Rocksavage, and Lord Oliver Timothy George Cholmondeley.
Choosing the twin boys’ ranking proved to be a challenge, however, as it is generally the first-born male to take the title of heir in British nobility. As per The Telegraph, the new parents decided to choose the heir based on which boy weighed the most, as the two were born practically at the same time through cesarean section. Ultimately, Lord Oliver Timothy George Cholmondeley took the title, after weighing in at a very prestigious 8 ounces more than his brother.
Hanbury and her husband also became parents to their third child, a daughter named Lady Iris Marina Aline Cholmondeley, in 2016. While their children are largely kept out of the public eye, they are seen from time to time at events involving the royal family. Lord Oliver made a special appearance during King Charles III’s coronation, however, assuming the role of one of the monarch’s Pages of Honor alongside Prince William and Kate Middleton’s eldest son, Prince George.
