The Rise of the Celebrity Class

on BBC Two England

4/4. The New Establishment. Over the last few years, high society has been infiltrated by a new breed of aristocrats, forcing the old establishment to embrace celebrity or die. Now that hairdressers, chefs and gardeners are replacing Earls and Viscounts as people of distinction, are the servants becoming the masters? Lady Victoria Hervey describes how she used celebrity to create a new role for herself in the 21st century, while fashion designer Sir Paul Smith and chef Marco Pierre White represent the nouveau nobility.
