Grant, it is wonderful to know that I am lucky enough to have someone as loyal and enthusiastic as you as part of the team.
Royals, celebrities & charity
From Woburn Abbey to Highgrove
Prior to the Royal Household, Grant was the Butler to The Duke and Duchess of Bedford at Woburn Abbey. Whilst working at the Abbey with the Duke's parents, the Marquess and Marchioness of Tavistock, the fresh-faced young Grant appeared as the butler in the BBC 2 TV series ‘Country House’ for two years.
Grant has worked alongside many other Royals, VIPs and celebrities over the past 23 years, many of whom are now his clients.
Grant is an ambassador for the British Dyslexia Association.
Ladies and Gentlemen
Royal broadcaster and social media
As well as running a traditional butler school and advising celebrities and royals on correct behaviour, Grant combines teaching traditional etiquette with a fun, modern twist via his social media.
From learning how to peel a banana to the correct way to eat a Pot Noodle, Grant's sense of fun and his ability to switch from etiquette expert to media personality make him a highly sought-after influencer, guest speaker and teacher for those from all walks of life.
When I was a child I had two dreams. One was to be an actor and the other was to become a Butler, but not just any butler, I wanted to be a butler to The British Royal Family. Both Dreams I made reality.
