Heirs and disgraces With Dewhurst the butchers they became Britain's richest business dynasty - and the country's most astute tax avoiders. Now they are worth a mere pounds 650m and while one member of the family enjoys a day at the polo with Prince William, another is being linked to the protest against capitalism in the City of London. Stuart Millar and Alex Brummer trace the bizarre fortunes of the house of Vestey
And yet, as the detectives themselves stressed, there was no suggestion that (Mark) Brown had been involved in the violence. So why all the interest? The answer is simple: He may be an unremarkable environmental campaigner but he also happens to be a member of the Vestey family, once the richest dynasty in the land apart from the Windsors. Although now worth a mere pounds 650m, they are still the very type of people the Carnival Against Global Capitalism had been against. Peers of the realm, High Sheriffs, masters of foxhounds - the Vesteys have been a lot of things in their time, but direct action, anti-capitalist green campaigning was not the sort of behaviour that the British public expected. The Vesteys belong in society magazines, accepting polo trophies from the Queen, not in the tabloids, angrily pushing their way through a scrum of frenzied hacks. Take the most recent public outing by Brown's cousin, Tamara Vestey, aged 23, former debutante, niece of Lord Samuel Vestey and the epitome of everything a society gal should be. She too made national headlines, but this time it was for the person she happened to be sitting next to for lunch at the Cartier International Polo Tournament in Windsor Great Park: Prince William. Tamara, herself a keen polo player, the reports pointed out, chatted non-stop to William (Vestey) throughout the lunch of grilled vegetables, roast lamb and cappuccino ice-cream. No surprise there: her uncle is a close chum of the Prince of Wales and his second wife, Celia Knight, is Prince Harry's godmother. Here, clearly, is a girl who knows how to behave the Vestey way.
