Consuelo Vanderbilt, Duchess of Marlborough
Episode 106
Wednesday, 4 March, 2026
From the marble corridors of Newport to the draughty majesty of Blenheim Palace, Consuelo Vanderbilt was the ultimate 'Dollar Princess' - a woman who was traded in by her parents for a title she never sought.In this episode, we trace her architectural odyssey from the opulence of the Vanderbilts' Gilded Age mansions to her eventual flourishing in the French countryside. It is a story of a gilded cage, the weight of the Marlborough gems and ducal coronets, and the resilient grace of a duchess who finally built a life on her own terms.Please do join us, and let us know your thoughts!If you enjoy tuning in, please consider supporting us by joining one of our membership tiers on our Patreon page - we love getting to know members of our community.
