Teresa Mary Nugent Freeman-Grenville, born on July 20, 1957, holds a special title in Britain. She is known as the 13th Lady Kinloss. This means she inherited a noble title, making her a "peeress."
She is also connected to some important historical figures. She is considered the main living descendant of Edward Seymour, Viscount Beauchamp. He was the son of Lady Catherine Grey, who was the sister of Lady Jane Grey. Lady Jane Grey was briefly the Queen of England after King Edward VI died. Because of this family connection, some people have suggested that Lady Kinloss could have a claim to the English throne, based on an old will by King Henry VIII.
