Countess Patricia Mountbatten| Royal Jewels
Als 2. Gräfin Mountbatten von Burma, Ururenkelin der Königin Victoria, Großnichte der letzten Zarin von Russland, Cousine ersten Grades von Prinz Philip und Tochter des letzten Vizekönigs von Indien, wurde die verstorbene Patricia Edwina Victoria Mountbatten 1924 in eine schillernde Dynastie königlicher und politischer Beziehungen hineingeboren. Während ihres bedeutenden Lebens inmitten des kulturellen Establishments Großbritanniens ist sie für ihre „unerschütterliche Beharrlichkeit und ihren mitreißenden Sinn für Humor“ bekannt und in Erinnerung geblieben.
Als älteste Tochter von Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, und der glamourösen Erbin und Philanthropin Edwina Ashley (1900-1960), genoss Patricia eine unkonventionelle Erziehung, von Wochenendpartys mit König Edward III. und Wallis Simpson auf dem elterlichen Anwesen in Hampshire bis hin zur Evakuierung am Vorabend der deutschen Luftangriffe in London (Blitz), um bei Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt III. in ihrem palastartigen Apartment in der Fifth Avenue in New York unterzukommen.
Im Jahr 1943, im Alter von neunzehn Jahren, trat Patricia in den Women’s Royal Navy Service ein.
Dort lernte sie John Knatchbull, 7. Lord Brabourne (1924-2005), kennen und lieben – eine Begegnung, die zu einer dauerhaften Liebesbeziehung und einer fast sechzigjährigen Ehe führen sollte. Während seiner Zeit als Kapitän der Streitkräfte hatte Brabourne für Patricias Vater in Indien gearbeitet und wurde später ein für den Academy Award nominierter Filmproduzent, der hinter Titeln wie A Passage to India und den Agatha-Christie-Verfilmungen Death on the Nile und Murder on the Orient Express stand. Ihre Hochzeit in der Abtei von Romsey im Jahr 1946 wurde von tausenden Menschen verfolgt, die die Straßen säumten.
Der Erzbischof von Canterbury vollzog die Zeremonie, bei der auch der König und die Königin anwesend waren, die königlichen Prinzessinnen Elizabeth und Margaret unter den Brautjungfern und auch Prinz Philip.
Als Patricia die Adelstitel ihres Vaters erbte, wurde das Paar zu einem der ganz wenigen Ehepaare in England, die jeweils einen eigenen Adelstitel innehatten und die Hüter zweier großer Erbschaften wurden.
Zu Johns Erbe gehörte Mersham le Hatch, ein elegantes Haus von Robert Adam in der Landschaft von Kent, in dem sich die Familie Knatchbull im 15. Jahrhundert niedergelassen hatte. Ausgestattet von Thomas Chippendale in den 1770er Jahren, befanden sich dort Objekte mit außerordentlich unterschiedlicher Provenienz, unter anderem des Entdeckers und Botanikers Sir Joseph Banks, der mit Cooks erster Expedition nach Australien reiste, Jane Austens geliebter Nichte Fanny und der Marquesses of Sligo. Aus dem glamourösen Art-Déco-Penthouse ihrer Eltern in der Park Lane erbte Patricia kostbare Gegenstände, die mit ihren Eltern in Verbindung gebracht werden können – mit Kostbarkeiten von Edwinas Großvater mütterlicherseits, dem Finanzier Sir Ernest Cassel – und ihrer Zeit in Indien.
Im Laufe ihres Lebens war Lady Mountbatten Schirmherrin von über einhundert Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen. Sie bewältigte ihre eigenen Tragödien mit außerordentlichem Courage und Anmut und vermittelte dies in der Unterstützung von Menschen in Not.
Am 24. März 2021 werden über 350 Lose – darunter Juwelen, Möbel, Gemälde, Skulpturen, Bücher, Silber, Porzellan und Vitrinenobjekte – aus Newhouse, Patricias and Johns charmanten Haus aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, bei Sotheby’s zum Verkauf angeboten, wobei die Schätzpreise von £ 80 – 100,000 reichen. Mit jedem Los haben Betrachter und Besucher die Möglichkeit, die Welt einer bedeutenden Familie durch die Kunst und Objekte, mit denen sie lebten, zu erkunden und so die Wege der bedeutendsten Persönlichkeiten des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts zu kreuzen.
„Sie hatten diese Vorkehrungen mit uns besprochen, und wir setzen einfach ihre Pläne in die Tat um. Natürlich werden wir viele Dinge aufbewahren, darunter vor allem Gegenstände, die einen sentimentalen Wert haben und die wir sehr lieben.“ äußert sich die Familie Mountbatten dazu.
Zum Verkauf kommt auch die Banks Diamanten – eine historische Brosche -der Familie Knatchbull.
