Hannah Rothschild, eldest daughter of investment banker Jacob Rothschild and former racehorse owner Serena Dunn, has given some confidences about her illustrious family in the columns of The Independent. Author of a fourth novel, High Time, to be published on July 11, the 61-year-old heiress has notably evoked the way of life of her clan.

The life of the clan will soon be the subject of a series, developed by writer Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) and producer Jemima Khan.
