Biography
William is a member of the Lindesay-Bethune family, of Scottish descent.[1] He is the third child and eldest son of James Lindesay-Bethune, 16th Earl of Lindsay, and Diana Mary Chamberlayne-Macdonald, a granddaughter of Sir Alexander Somerled Angus Bosville Macdonald of Sleat, 16th Baronet. He has four siblings, including Lady Charlotte Lindesay-Bethune (born 1993), who is married to Prince Jaime, Duke of Noto, heir to the headship of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies,[2] and Lady Frances Mary Gabinsky (born 1986), who is married to Rostislav Gabinsky.[3][4]
As his father's heir, he currently holds the courtesy title of Viscount Garnock.[1]
In July 2024, William became engaged to Lady Violet Manners,[1][5] daughter of David Manners, 11th Duke of Rutland, and Emma Manners, Duchess of Rutland.[1][6][7][8] It was reported that the wedding would be held at Belvoir Castle and would be a private occasion, not open to the public.[5][8]
The marriage of William and Lady Violet took place on 21 June 2025 at Belvoir Castle, in the presence of numerous members of the British aristocracy.[1] They were married at the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Bottesford.[9][10] The groom wore a kilt in the Lindesay family tartan, complete with a tasselled sporran.[1] The ceremony marked the union of two distinguished families with ancestral ties to the English and Scottish peerages,[11] whose lineages date back to the Norman Conquest and the seventeenth century, respectively.[1] The best men were Archie, Lord Cochrane and the Hon. David Lindesay-Bethune,[10] and guests of the wedding included Lady Tatiana Mountbatten, Sabrina Percy, and Flora Vesterberg.[9][12][13]
