Family Bhive
Grand projects derserve grand locations, and there are few grander than Kensington Palace, home of everyone from William and Mary to Princesses Margaret and Diana. Last night it played host to some rather less dysfunctional families as youth and experience gathered to celebrate the relaunch of Family Bhive, a social network for UHNWs to discuss the problems and perks of wealth.
Family Bhive founder Caroline Garnham, a partner in the Private Capital department of Lawrence Graham, welcomed guests by revealing the results of a survey on the future of philantropy conducted by the Bhive. According to the survey, philanthropy will continue to play an important role in the lives of the young wealthy, who also felt that the state should work with philanthropists to improve society.
Guests included: David Bailey, Greg Barker MP, Olivier de Givenchy, Baroness Devaris, Alexandra Dunhill, Ben Elliot, Mark Kibblewhite, Sir William and Lady McAlpine, Mr and Mrs Satish Modi, Kay Saatchi and Lord St John of Bletso.
