Serena Bute

Born in December 1959, Bute is the daughter of Major Jac Wendell (1924–2005), of the Grenadier Guards (grandson of the American actor Jacob Wendell, and nephew of Catherine Mommand, sometime Countess of Carnarvon),[1] and his wife Anthea Peronelle Maxwell-Hyslop, sister of the Conservative politician Robin Maxwell-Hyslop.

Bute's collections include wide-legged trousers, always with a grosgrain stripe.

[7] The Serena Bute label is reported as a favourite of Kate Moss, Emma Watson, Rita Ora, and Adwoa Aboah.

After they separated, she spent eighteen months bringing up the children alone in Jamaica, then returned to England for medical help with Hepatitis C. She commented in 2020 that she did not then know where her first husband was.

[9] Until his death in March 2021,[7] they shared a house in Regent's Park and also had the use of Mount Stuart House,[4] but did not live there, preferring a renovated farmhouse, Ardscalpsie, six miles from Rothesay on the west coast of Bute.
