William Villiers, 10th Earl of Jersey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Francis William Child Villiers, 10th Earl of Jersey (born 5 February 1976), known professionally as William Villiers, is a British actor, writer, producer and peer.

Jersey is the eldest son of guitarist George, Viscount Villiers and his second wife, Sacha (née Valpy), and was educated at Mount House School, Tavistock, Devon; Canford School, Wimborne, Dorset; and Birmingham School of Speech and Drama. On the death of his father, from a heart attack, on 19 March 1998, he was briefly styled Viscount Grandison (in accordance with the family's tradition whereby each heir is alternatively styled Viscount Villiers and then Viscount Grandison). He succeeded his grandfather as 10th Earl of Jersey in August of that year and took his seat in the House of Lords in 1999, shortly before the reformation of the House. On 16 August 2003, he married, in Jersey, Marianne Simonne de Guelle, daughter of Peter and Jeanette. They currently have a daughter (The Lady Mia Adriana Marie Rose Child Villiers (born 28 December 2006)) and his heir presumptive is his half-brother, The Hon. Jamie Child Villiers.

Known for his rugby-like stature, Lord Jersey appeared in BBC One's Haka ident and was credited as 'big flatmate' in McDonald's "Best Mate" TV commercial.
