As the elder daughter of Lord Brocket, Antalya Nall-Cain has already seen her fair share of turbulence, what with her mother shopping her father to the police for his infamous Ferrari insurance scam which landed him in jail.
So it’s hardly surprising she has fallen in love with a daredevil — an English bullfighter, no less.
Antalya, 23, says she is intoxicated with Oxford-educated Alexander Fiske-Harrison, whose controversial book, Into The Arena, about bullfighting, led him to be dubbed the ‘bullfighter-philosopher’.
He trained as a matador in Seville and Antalya tells me: ‘We had our first date at a tapas bar in London and then I flew out to stay with him for the Pamplona Bull Run. It was scary seeing Xander do the run and I was worried he would be carried out on a stretcher.’
Antalya, an ex-model like her mother, former Vogue mannequin Isa — Brocket’s first wife — is now training to be a nutritional therapist. Of Alexander, she adds: ‘He’s terribly handsome, clever — and masculine.’ What more could a gal ask for . . .
