The Private Office exists to preserve the family’s legacy, honor, and standing across generations. Historically, the family’s reputation and influence were forged through personal integrity, handshakes, and trust — a code of honor that transcended wealth or titles. Rooted in a lineage that spans centuries, one branch reaching back to the mid-12th century and another to the earliest eras of recorded history, the Office ensures these principles endure. It is the custodian of values, strategic intent, and moral authority, safeguarding the family’s name while guiding the Trust’s initiatives with foresight, subtlety, and unwavering discipline. Every decision, partnership, and act reflects a centuries-old commitment to honor, influence, and the preservation of the family’s legacy.
“There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues are created, strengthened, and maintained.”
