What does Missè Beqiri do for a living?
As a “newly single mother of two, rebuilding her life with fierce independence,” according to her Ladies of London bio, Missè is depending on herself for income, and works as a full-time model.
“I started when I was 19. I got scouted, actually, in Copenhagen,” she said as she opened up about her career in an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish. “I didn’t think that was going to be my life, but it just became my life.”
What does Lady Emma Thynn do for a living?
Emma broke centuries-old barriers and made history when she became the first woman of color to marry into British aristocracy and was bestowed the title Marchioness of Bath, according to her Ladies of London bio. Most of her time is taken up working for her family’s historic stately home, Longleat, because as she put it, “Living at Longleat means working at Longleat.”
“We host events. We have concerts. Diana Ross did a concert. Elton John did a concert,” she detailed in an interview with The Daily Dish. “We have light shows and air shows, and it never stops. Never a dull moment.”
Emma also devotes part of her days to managing the safari and vineyard at Longleat. “So, I make wines, and everything inspired by the estate and the history of Longleat,” she explained. Due to her efforts running the safari, she’s an ambassador for Tusk conservation group, sharing, “Conservation work is very important to me.”
She’s also an ambassador for her brand, Emma’s Kitchen. “I make things to have afternoon tea with: jam and honey,” she revealed.
Emma has a past and present in fashion as well. “I have walked for Dolce & Gabbana. I’ve done a campaign for Victoria’s Secret. I’ve done a lot of different things in fashion over the years,” she told The Daily Dish, and added that she works with Swiss luxury watch and jewelry brand, Chopard. “I’m an ambassador for Chopard, which is something that makes me very happy.”
Emma admitted, “There’s a lot that goes on,” and that includes being a mother to her two sons, John and Henry. “That is obviously my priority, and keeps me busiest of all.”
What does Martha Sitwell do for a living?
Martha described herself as being “a creative” during an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish, adding, “My main careers are writing, designing, modeling and makeup artistry.”
As for how she got her start, “I was scouted as a model when I was 17,” Martha recalled. “I was homeless and begging for money, and Vivian Westwood walked by. She said, ‘Darling, you’re fabulous. Come and model.’ And so, I did.”
She also recounted how she found her way to makeup artistry through modeling. “I was fascinated by how transient it is, but how powerful it can be. How it can change the whole look and feel of an outfit, and the whole feel of a mood,” she said.
What does Kimi Murdoch do for a living?
Haitian American shipping heiress Kimi is an antiques dealer, according to her Ladies of London bio, but right now her only job is focusing on her children.
“I’m a full-time mother of nine-year-old twins,” she told The Daily Dish in an exclusive interview. “It’s a lot of work.” But, she joked, “I don’t have to go to the gym, so I save a lot of money.”
What does Mark-Francis Vandelli do for a living?
Mark-Francis is known for being a socialite and tastemaker, according to his Ladies of London bio.
“What do I do for work? That’s a very good question,” he joked with The Daily Dish. “I’m a jewelry designer. And, I suppose if you ask the wrong people, I’m a television personality.”
As far as how he found himself in that line of work, he explained, “Work is always something that one gets into by mistake. So, one wrong after the other.”

What does Lottie Kane do for a living?
Titled an “It Girl” in her Ladies of London bio, Lottie clarified she’s also a designer: “Mostly graphic design, but I do a lot of illustration and art working as well.”
Lottie added that she also works closely with her husband, Joshua, who she described as a luxury “celebrity tailor to the stars.”
“So, we do a lot of red carpet dressing — a lot of couture,” she explained. “He makes bespoke, beautiful outfits for menswear and womenswear.”
What does Margo Stilley do for a living?
Margo previously had a career as a fashion model and actress, according to her Ladies of London bio, and “returns to London sober, grounded, and determined to restart her career.”
She described what else she’s up to now in an interview with The Daily Dish, explaining, “For the last few years, I have just been a stay-at-home mom.”
What does Myka Meier do for a living?
Myka is an etiquette instructor, and known as “the Marie Kondo of etiquette,” according to her Ladies of London bio. She founded her company Beaumont Etiquette, and is now a globally-recognized decorum expert.
She revealed more on the background of her career choice during an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish. “The reason why I got into etiquette was because I was actually really insecure. I was an American living in England. And navigating London as an American is not the easiest,” she admitted. “So it was out of insecurity that I took my first etiquette class. And I loved it so much that I could not wait to take my second one. And, one day made a career out of it.”
Myka also shed more light on her life before she taught etiquette, and how she’s linked to The Real Housewives of New York City‘s Jenna Lyons: “In a previous life…I was in fashion PR. And I actually launched J.Crew in London. So I was Jenna’s publicist.”
