Commenting on the cost of fixing the pipes, wiring and decoration at her Derbyshire residence, Alexandra Sitwell said the bill was “a huge amount” but refused to reveal the figure for the necessary repairs .
She said of her family home: “It’s always going to be a financial burden.”
Alexandra’s comments were made in ITV’s Keeping Up With The Aristocrats, which aired this week.
Depressed at the upheaval caused by the building work, Alexandra, who comes from a long line of baronets, said: “It looks like it’s had the living daylights beaten out of it.”
