‘Ladies Of London: The New Reign’ Cast Guide: Lady Emma Thynn, Margo Stilley, And Mark-Francis Vandelli Lead Long-Awaited Spinoff

1 hour ago 2

Ladies of London: The New Reign will finally premiere tonight with a new group of British socialites and expats, promising a season of elite connections, jaw-dropping scandals, and bloody good drama.

The flagship series, simply named Ladies of London, first aired on Bravo for three seasons between 2014 and 2017. The show marked Caroline Stanbury‘s introduction to the network, before she later appeared in The Real Housewives of Dubai and The Traitors Season 4.

After nearly a decade off-the-air, Bravo announced last year that Ladies of London: The New Reign would be coming back to the network with a revamped cast, including Made in Chelsea star Mark-Francis Vandelli, 9 Songs actress Margo Stilley, and Lady Emma Thynn, the first Black woman to marry into the aristocracy (sorry, Meghan Markle).

The two-hour premiere offers a detailed glimpse into the lives of these London-based socialites, and wastes no time establishing drama within the friend group. But, if you can’t wait to learn more about this cast, look no further, as we have you covered on everything you need to know about each and every one of them. Keep reading!

Move over, Meghan Markle. Lady Emma Thynn is the first woman of color to marry into the British aristocracy. After marrying Ceawlin Thynn, the 8th Marquess of Bath, in 2013, Emma officially became the Marchioness of Bath, otherwise known as Viscountess Weymouth. The couple shares two children—John Alexander Ladi Thynn, born in 2014, and Henry Richard Isaac Thynn, born in 2016, both of whom attend school in London. Emma, for her part, splits her time between the city and running Longleat, the family’s historical estate, which is worth $205 million and, on its 10,000 acres of land, houses the first safari path in the world outside of Africa.

Martha Lady Sitwell was previously married to a baronet, the lowest rank of the aristocracy — but a rank nonetheless! Sitwell, who now lives with her magpie Hecate and dog Ernie in their new, run-down flat (a.k.a. “grottage), was raised with “enormous privilege,” as she states in the first episode, but eventually became homeless. After getting discovered as a model by Vivienne Westwood, she was thrust back into the life she was brought up in, but two failed divorces have since left her with nothing. Now, all she can do is rebuild her life — and not make the same mistakes thrice!

Stranger things have happened than including a man in a show called Ladies of London. Mark-Francis Vandelli is an outspoken socialite (social animal, if you ask him) and antiques collector, who starred in 11 seasons of the British reality show, Made in Chelsea, among other British competition and reality shows. According to Vandelli, he grew up flying to Italy every weekend to visit his father, and after years of separation, he is seeking to rebuild that relationship.

Lottie Kane, described in her BravoTV bio as a “graphic designer turned IT girl,” was expecting her first baby with her celebrity fashion designer husband, Joshua Kane, when she started filming Ladies of London: The New Reign. According to Lottie, the two first met each other at The Box in Soho—a nightclub frequented by the Next Gen NYC cast—and within two hours, they were making out in the club. They were engaged eight weeks later, married within the year, and now, three years later, they are parents to a baby boy named Ezra Beau Dale Kane, born in October 2025. While Lottie says some people assume her husband is gay because he works in fashion, she admits that his “flamboyance” is “attractive” to her. After all, the couple that does nails and makeup together, stays together!

Missé Beqiri, a Swedish-born model, got her reality TV start on The Real Housewives of Cheshire, Britain’s first Real Housewives installment on which she starred for two seasons. Beqiri married Anders Lindegaard, a former professional soccer player, and had a child before splitting up in 2016 after two years of marriage. She was later engaged to Jake Hall, who starred in the British reality series TOWIE, but after five years together and one child, they also broke up.

Missé’s family was also in the news following the 2019 murder of her brother, Flemur Beqiri. Per BBC, Flemur was fatally shot in front of his wife and two children on Christmas Eve in 2019 by a Swedish hitman, who was later sentenced to life in prison. Flemur was reportedly a kingpin in the international drugs trade, and was targeted by a rival organized crime group.

Myka Meier is a “globally recognized decorum expert and founder of Beaumont Etiquette,” per her BravoTV bio. Born and raised in Florida, Meier—who has offered her etiquette expertise via appearances on The Today Show and Good Morning America—is looking to expand her business in London. Fun fact — the married mom-of-two trained underneath a former member of Queen Elizabeth II’s household staff, who also happened to teach the late Princess Diana etiquette.

Margo Stilley is an American actress returning to London to restart her career. Having only ever worked in London, Stilley is best known for her role in 9 Songs, otherwise described as the “most sexually explicit mainstream film in all of British history.” In the 2004 flick, she and her co-star, Kieran O’Brien, have actual sexual intercourse and perform oral sex. These days, Stilley is married and raising three children, a daughter of her own and her husband’s two teenage sons from a previous relationship.

In the first two episodes, fans will also meet American architect Dara Huang, best friend to Myka Meier and ex-fianceé of Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the current husband of Princess Beatrice York. Huang and Mozzi—who share 10-year-old son, Christopher Woolf —were together for three years before calling off their engagement in 2018, the same year Mozzie began dating York. While some articles have claimed he left Huang for royalty, she seems insistent that their current situation is just peachy, even going as far as to praise York for her “kindness.”
