Family

[edit]

Sutherland is the son of Cyril Reginald Egerton, the grandson of Francis Egerton, 3rd Earl of Ellesmere. His mother was Mary, daughter of Sir Ronald Campbell. Sutherland was educated at Eton and Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester (Gloucestershire).

Career

[edit]

On 21 July 2000, Sutherland succeeded his first cousin once-removed as 7th Duke of Sutherland and 6th Earl of Ellesmere. Most of Sutherland's wealth is in the form of the art collection put together by the first Duke's uncle, Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, which had been inherited by the Ellesmere line of the family. In 2008 he sold Titian's Diana and Actaeon to the National Gallery of Scotland and National Gallery in London for £50 million.[1]

He ranked 107th in the Sunday Times Rich List 2009, with an estimated wealth of £480m in art and land, including Mertoun House and Stetchworth House.[2] In the 2020 edition of the list, his net worth was estimated to be £585 million.[3]

Marriage and issue

[edit]

Sutherland married Victoria Mary Williams, born in Newbury on 21 June 1946, daughter of Major-General Alexander Williams and wife Sybilla Margaret Archdale, in Winterborne Monkton, Dorset, on 11 May 1974.> They have two sons:
