Curious family ties link Chesham and Westminster
Lord Chesham marked his fifty first birthday in a web of kinship with the late Duke of Westminster. The duke was his brother-in-law and father-in-law through Chesham’s marriage to the duchess’s daughter. The arrangement makes Lady Chesham sister-in-law to her own father, and the duchess becomes mother-in-law to her own brother. The duke is grandfather and uncle by marriage to Chesham’s children, while his children from a second marriage are great-nephews and nieces to Chesham’s offspring.
