The first Duke of Wellington deplored democracy. Today his descendants face up to changes in a life-style steeped in the Iron Duke's tradition. Their magnificent estate at Stratfield Saye, the battlefield at Waterloo, and Apsley House in London are the settings for stories of Wellington's extraordinary life, with his encounters in love and war, told frankly by the Eighth Duke, the Duchess and Lady Jane Wellesley.
