LONDON, ENGLAND The Commissions of Royal Manorial and Nobility Titles announced today that it will bestow Bahamian politician Loretta Butler-Turner with the “honorable title” of Lady of the Manor of Brayton in the County of North Yorkshire this year for her “outstanding career in politics”.
Butler-Turner, who made history as the first female leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition in 2016 in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is widely known for being a trailblazer and will be the first Bahamian woman to receive this manorial appointment.
