Wherever Meghan Markle goes, headlines follow. The Duchess of Sussex<\/a>, throughout her career as an actor, royal, lifestyle influencer (and now actor again), is no stranger to generating divisive opinions. There are those who treat With Love, Meghan as a gospel for hosting and snap up the jams, dried flowers, and mulled wine kits from As Ever as soon as they hit the virtual shelves. The Duchess of Northumberland<\/a>, it seems, does not consider herself in this camp.<\/p>\n

Jane Percy, chatelaine of Alnwick Castle, is something of a polymath. Not only is she the mastermind behind the fairytale playground Lilidorei (itself home to the largest play structure and the largest treehouse in the world), she is also a freshly minted author, having launched a children\u2019s book set in the Lilidorei universe. Her first novel, Amantina, was published this week under the pen name \u2018Jane Northumberland\u2019, with the Duchess explaining to The Telegraph<\/a> that she is very deliberate about how she uses \u2013 and doesn\u2019t use \u2013 her title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jane Percy, the Duchess of Northumberland, has critiqued the actions of \u2018one or two duchesses\u2019 in a recent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60,43,4827,50869],"class_list":["post-162818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-royals","tag-the-duchess-of-sussex"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
