79-Year-Old British Aristocrat Launches Search for Wife with Unique Approach, Strict Criteria, Advertising in Newspapers, Beyond

Sir Benjamin Slade, a 79-year-old British aristocrat, is on a determined search for a wife, sparking media attention with his unique approach and strict criteria. Over the years, Slade has advertised in newspapers, tried his hand at reality TV, and even joined dating apps like Tinder in pursuit of a suitable partner.

His requirements, however, have raised eyebrows. According to reports, the prospective bride must be at least 20 years younger, able to bear children (with a preference for having two sons), and willing to manage Slade’s 1,300-acre estate and two castles.

Other stipulations are equally exacting: no Scottish women, no communists, no lesbians, no heavy drinkers or drug users, and no women born under the Scorpio zodiac sign. Additionally, applicants should hold a driving licence, with a helicopter licence considered a bonus, and ideally stand taller than 5 ft 6 in. Women from countries starting with the letter “I” or with green in their national flag are also excluded.

Slade’s quest highlights the eccentricities of aristocratic traditions in modern Britain, mixing a desire for legacy with an unusually prescriptive checklist for a life partner. While his search continues, it has already drawn widespread media coverage, with many commenting on both the ambitious and controversial nature of his search.

Whether a match can meet all of Sir Benjamin Slade’s demands remains to be seen, but his story has reignited conversations about love, legacy, and the lengths some will go to secure both.
