With the death of his grandmother, Nicholas, 36, is just a heartbeat away from the Mountbatten title himself, and the estate.But the question now is: would he actually want it? So could she be the next Countess Mountbatten?The question of the future chatelaine of Broadlands is an intriguing and emotional topic in a family blighted by tragedy — the murder of Nicholas’s great-grandfather Earl Mountbatten by the IRA in 1979 and the death from cancer of his little sister, Leonora, at the age of five in 1991.Nicholas’s father, the new Earl Mountbatten, hasn’t run the estate for years, having walked out on his marriage to take up with a glamorous fashion designer in Nassau.His ignominious and apologetic return three years ago to his wife, Penny — the favourite carriage-driving companion of Prince Philip — was met with short shrift. . 1950) (3) The Hon.
