As she approaches her 90th birthday, the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, Deborah Cavendish, fondly known as ‘Debo,’ is preparing to unveil a captivating exhibition at Chatsworth House. The showcase offers an intimate glimpse into the remarkable life of the last surviving Mitford sister, spanning nearly nine decades.
Born in 1920, Deborah Cavendish was the youngest among the infamous Mitford sisters, known for their controversial lives and public political divisions. In 1941, she married Lord Andrew Cavendish, and for the past 54 years, she has been the public face of Chatsworth House, effectively managing the stately home.
This week, Chatsworth House will host an exhibition featuring carefully selected personal belongings, giving visitors a unique perspective on the Duchess’s life. The collection includes cherished items such as skates, gun and gamebooks, artworks, childhood drawings, diaries, and letters. Among the displayed artifacts are the robes she wore to Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953.
Reflecting on the exhibition, the Duchess shared her sentiments, stating, “It’s been amazing going back through things I haven’t seen for years and years.” Her skates, a forgotten possession, trigger memories of a passion she excelled at throughout her life. The exhibition offers a blend of personal artifacts and stories that encapsulate the Duchess’s rich and diverse experiences.
Beyond the personal belongings, the exhibit features a telephone that once played Elvis Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock” and a piece of fence from Graceland, underscoring the Duchess’s affection for the iconic crooner. Playfully pondering, she remarked, “I wonder how Elvis and Hitler would have got on,” offering a glimpse of her sharp wit and humor.
The Dowager Duchess, who has authored eleven books, is set to release her twelfth – an autobiography titled “Wait For Me.” The upcoming book, due on her 90th birthday, promises to provide an encompassing narrative of her life.
While her large family may not share the same enthusiasm for the exhibition, the Duchess remains modest about the celebration of her milestone birthday. “We’ve never gone in much for birthdays in my family, so I hope I will be enjoying it quietly at home,” she remarked.
The exhibition, opening on March 14, invites visitors to delve into the history and legacy of the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, offering a unique opportunity to appreciate a life well-lived.
In conclusion, the Duchess encapsulates her extraordinary journey through an exhibition that promises to be both enlightening and engaging for those fortunate enough to explore the artifacts and stories that weave the fabric of her fascinating life.

Adolf Hitler and the German Nazi Party were the embodyment of evil. Millions of people suffered due to their malevolent policies in Germany from 1933 onwards. It appears those who think Adolf was a ‘Nice man’ are the same fekwits who possibly think that Stalin was a “Nice Man” as well. Or that there are bases on the Moon and Mars. Twats!
SHEILA, brainwashed American… instead a jewess, I guess. Jesus was a jid ha? Then why the jews hated Him so much and the Sanheddrin forced the Romans to crucify Him? If Jesus was a jid, why the jids consider His name as a “bad word”. If Jesus was a jew, why a jid has to spit when he/she sees a Cross or Church? Get real jiddish lady, Jesus was NOT a jew. He was a Galilean, at the time when no jid lived in Galilea. Sorry, the diaspora at that time was sometimes juden-frei…
Jesus was a Jew, Mary was a Jew, Joseph was a Jew, Matthew was a Jew, Luke was a Jew, John was a Jew, all the apostles were Jews, all killed by the Romans, who succeeded in feeding many Christians to the lions for sport for three centuries thereafter, Christianity took Jewish words and Jewish ideas from the Old Testament,
accused Jesus’ own people of Rome’s crime, and recast the Jewish Testament as “new”. Jews don’t want to take over the world, dear assholes, Christians do, and have. I wonder why the Duchess won’t speak up about this. All she says is people lack manners. Anti-Semites have no manners. Well, that’s true. Thank you, Duchess.
As one can recognize with the story about Unity, Adolf Hitler was not against the English people and not against the Slavs, but the Zionist press and London bankers and godless Bolshevism and it’s partial leadership of turned-around you-know-whos. Solshenizyn and Dostoyevski are also great.
Dostoyevsky: ….
“Now, what if somehow, for some reason, our rural commune [i.e., the institutionalized system of Russian peasant society] should disintegrate, that commune which is protecting our poor native peasant against so many ills; what if, straightaway, the Jew and his whole kehillah [i.e., organized Jewry] should fall upon that liberated peasant — so inexperienced, so incapable of resisting temptation, and who up to this time has been guarded precisely by the commune? Why, of course, instantly this would be his end; his entire property, his whole strength, the very next day would come under the power of the Jew, and there would ensue such an era as can be compared not only with the era of serfdom but even with that of the Tartar yoke.”
(diary of a writer, 1881.)
Jesus Christ wasn’t a man,Insurgent.He appeared as a man, but wasn’t.
Nothing new under the sun. Hitler, the Greatest Man ever born after Jesus Christ. I consider Him as the 2nd Son of God. He did the same as Jesus did: enlightened the masses about the jewish filth and danger.
Adolf Hitler lives! Sieg Heil!
“2nd son of God”???..Are you sane?!
Obviously you know nothing about either Hitler or Jesus Christ. How you dare to compare these two who have nothing in common at all!
As for definitions like the “greatest man” “…was nice and friendly…”, etc. Ask those millions of people who have sacrificed their lives to crush this nazi evil! Or ask those millions of prisoners OF ALL NATIONS that been burnt in the nazi concentration camps! Ask tortured and murdered kids that have become experimental material for the nazi totally unhuman and disgusting medical practices! I could go on and on!
Most of mentally healthy people of all nations consider Hitler as one of the maddest beast of all times. Only insane ones consider him a “hero”!
