If you read a story about a successful, independent woman marrying into an idiosyncratic, aristocratic British family and finding herself on the receiving end of unwelcome hostility, you might think it sounds familiar.
When Kelsey Seymour, Countess of Yarmouth, married her husband, William, Earl of Yarmouth, son and heir to the Marquess of Hertford and the bucolic 6,000-acre Ragley Hall estate in Warwickshire, in June 2018, she already knew any hopes she may have had of being embraced into the fold were never going to be realised.
