The Times – Meet the Rees-Moggs: ‘I quite enjoy winding people up’
Extracted from The Times
When Sir Jacob and Lady Helena Rees-Mogg were invited by email to star in their own reality TV show, the former cabinet minister and his wife assumed it was a hoax.
“It was the kind of email you get from, you know …” Rees-Mogg says.
“A fake Nigerian prince?” Helena adds helpfully.
“Yes, one of those.”
The sender was, in fact, the television production company that made At Home with the Furys, a fly-on-the-wall series about Tyson Fury, the Gypsy King boxer, his wife, Paris, and their six children, Venezuela, Prince John, Prince Tyson, Prince Adonis, Valencia and Athena. What better family to help repeat the success of The Furys than the Rees-Moggs with their six children — Peter Theodore Alphege, Mary Anne Charlotte Emma, Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam, Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius and Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher — named after medieval monks, saints and bishops?
Naturally the producers weren’t expecting the Rees-Mogg children to drink Dr Pepper from baby bottles, yell “Shit!” or flick V-signs, but for different reasons Meet the Rees-Moggs could be every bit as eye-opening and intriguing, they reasoned.
