Biography

[edit]

Lady Henrietta is the youngest child and only daughter of the 11th Duke of Marlborough by his first wife Susan Mary, daughter of Michael Hornby. She is the great-granddaughter of Consuelo Vanderbilt and the step-sister of Christina Onassis through her father's second marriage to Tina Onassis, former wife of Aristotle Onassis.[citation needed]

Her name has been more than once included in a list of 100 Leading Interior Designers by House & Garden magazine.[2] She is the author of several books on the subject, as well as Blenheim and the Churchill Family: A Personal Portrait (2005), an historical and anecdotal account of her family home, Blenheim Palace.[citation needed]

She was married to German banker Nathan Gelber from 1980 to 1989, with whom she has sons David Aba Gelber (born 1981) and Maximilian Henry Gelber (born 1985).[1]
