Lady Melissa Percy grew up in a 20-bedroom, 11th-century castle that stood in for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. She was once married to a best friend of Prince William. Nowadays, she spends more time flushing quail and casting lines on a hunting reserve in South Georgia than hobnobbing with royals.
Last fall, Missy, as she’s called, officially moved to the U.S. and launched her line of women’s sporting sweaters, Mistamina, on this side of the pond. The young aristocrat grew up shooting, riding, and fishing in the English countryside with her family (her father, the Duke of Northumberland, has been called the best shot in the U.K.). She now splits her time between Manhattan’s Upper East Side and Mercer Mill Plantation near Albany, a 6,000-acre wild quail reserve and pecan farm that belongs to her boyfriend, financier Remy Trafelet. The couple regularly hosts guests on traditional quail hunts on horseback alongside mule-drawn wagons.

I could live next door and I wouldn’t care.
Or not
It’s good to be the daughter of a Duke. No coupon clipping required.
... and the name of her sweater line is a mispronunciation of ‘misdemeanor’ ... odd
If I had her money I would buy blue jeans that did not have holes in them : )
Those holes in jeans cost extra, lots extra.
The name probably is “misdemeanor” when said with the British accent.
I looked at her website and there doesn’t seem to be a big selection - the same sweater in different colors. I did like all the pictures at the quail plantation.

I see she didn’t list ME-ghan as a friend. Her clothing line with be in competition with ME-ghan’s new line. Harry should have looked in her direction - cute, a royal and knows how to behave. Ack, she’s probably better off away from that bunch.
She called Chelsy Davy (Harry’s ex) her best friend, so I doubt she has any time for MeGain. Like so many other women from Harry’s social circles, she seems like she has too much on the ball to get tangled up with Prince Dimwit. As the Brits say, Chelsy is well rid.
Pretty girl, I don’t hate royals when they have reasonable lives.
Digging down in the article, I found her best friend Chelsy Davy, Prince Harry’s ex girlfriend. They were together for 7 years.
She looks just wonderful, has a law degree, smart as a whip, a suitable royal. But no, he went for that mess Markle.
