Cosima Somerset

Spear's Review

Anything is possible at Somerset White, as its clients – who include Lord and Lady Windsor, Tamara Mellon and the Goldsmiths – will readily testify. Called ‘ruthlessly efficient’ with ‘perfect manners’ by one happy customer, Lady Cosima Somerset’s girls are ‘half Mary Poppins, half Miss Jean Brodie’.

‘They have manners, softness, intelligence, but a real warmth and attention to detail,’ says Lady Cosima. They’ll make supper reservations, recruit household staff, source property around the world, and even plan your dream wedding.
