He took to Instagram yesterday to share photographs with his 9,700 followers of his birthday trip to Corfu, alongside his wife, childhood sweetheart Camilla Thorp, Marchioness of Blandford, and several friends, including Lady Jemima Herbert.
The aviation broker and Old Harrovian , whose full name is George John Godolphin Spencer-Churchill and who shares one-year-old daughter Olympia Arabella Kitty Spencer-Churchill with his wife, captioned his images: ‘What a week!’.

Jemima – daughter of the late 17th Earl of Pembroke and Miranda, Countess of Pembroke – also posted snaps from the getaway to her social media page.
She captioned the images, which largely showed the party dressed in all-white ensembles for a birthday bash: ‘A not so dirty 30 for @georgeblandford #allwhite #corfu #whitenight #thankyou.’
Jemima was thought to be joined on the holiday by her insurance broker beau Hugo Davies, who she tied the knot with in August 2021.
In the selection of pictures posted by the aristocrats, friends of George’s can be seen lounging around by the villa’s pool, enjoying boat trips together and plenty of luxurious meals.

George became Marquess of Blandford in 2014, following his grandfather’s death and was named in 2019 by Tatler as one of the ’10 most eligible people in the land’
George became Marquess of Blandford in 2014, following his grandfather’s death and was named in 2019 by Tatler as one of the ’10 most eligible people in the land’.
His ties to the biggest names in British society are extensive and date back generations.
George’s great-great-grandfather, the 9th Duke of Marlborough, was a first cousin of Sir Winston Churchill and was married to Consuelo Vanderbilt, of the prominent American Vanderbilt dynasty. The late Princess Diana was also George’s fourth cousin, once removed.
The aristocrat and polo player lives in leafy south-west London but will one day preside over the jaw-dropping 187-room Blenheim Palace.
He met his interior designer wife more than 10 years ago while holidaying in the Isle of Wight, with the two marrying in a lavish ceremony at Blenheim Palace in September 2018.

Recalling how their relationship started, Camilla told Tatler: ‘One day he just started holding my hand.
‘Our parents have been friends for years, which made life much easier. We didn’t have to do the whole “meet the parents” thing.’
George, son of James Spencer-Churchill and his first wife Rebecca Mary Few Brown, popped the question at Soho House, Istanbul, and the couple set about planning the wedding.
In September 2018, the couple tied the knot at St Mary Magdalene Church before heading back for a party beneath a marquee on the Blenheim Palace’s South Lawn.

She wore a Dolce & Gabanna white dress, which was the first bespoke bridal gown by the designer ever to have been worn in Britain.
As part of her bridal outfit Camilla also wore an heirloom which has been in the Marlborough family since 1895.
The diamond and pearl-encrusted Boucheron tiara, which was sewn into the bride’s hair, was originally a wedding gift to Consuelo Vanderbilt, one of the ‘Dollar Princesses’, from her father at the time of her marriage to the 9th Duke of Marlborough.
After the ceremony, the couple celebrated with friends and family at the palace, which is set in 2,000 acres.
