Aristocrat, 55, to marry pole dancer 23 years his junior after leaving wife of 26 years

An aristocrat is set to marry a former pole dancer who is 23 years his junior this week at his family estate in the Oxfordshire countryside. 
Jamie Lonsdale, 55, will marry the 32-year-old, who goes by the stage name of Crystal Knight after his first marriage to Laura Greig, a lady-in-waiting to Princess Diana broke down after 26 years in 2010. 
The landowner will tie the knot with his bride at a 12th-century church on the 1,000 acre Kingston Lisle estate, near Wantage in Oxon, which is currently on the market for £30million.

Mr Lonsdale, a hedge fund manager, can trace back his ancestry to the 3rd Lord Raglan, and his grandfather Leo founded the investment bank Lonsdale Investment Trust. 
Meanwhile his wife-to-be features on a model agency's website, where it says she has been a pole dancer and 'worked on TV'. 
In her bio she describes herself as an actor, model, musician and dancer. 
She adds: 'I would like to become well known I would like to make my mark and put my fame to good causes, helping the less fortuntate.' 

Mr Lonsdale announced their engagement on his Twitter account on May 28, by simply posting '#engagement.'

He has has also posted pictures of himself and his new partner, with one captioned: 'What a lucky man I am!' 
This was followed up on June 8 with a tweet announcing it would be 18 days until their wedding. 
Princess Margaret and Princess Diana attended Mr Lonsdale's first wedding to Laura Grieg in Knightsbridge, London in 1984

The grade II-listed estate, where the wedding will take place, has been on the market since last year, but despite the asking price being dropped by £5 million, a buyer has yet to be found. 
It is claimed that Mr Lonsdale was keen to sell up because he planned to move to London to try his luck as a opera singer performing Mozart and Puccini. 
The house has numerous bedrooms, many with their original four–poster beds, and comes with a 18–hole golf course created by Mr Lonsdale, a swimming pool, a tennis court and three connecting lakes stocked with rainbow and brown trout, roach and carp.
Princess Diana, a school friend of Mr Lonsdale's ex-wife Laura, was a regular visitor to Kingston Lisle, often with Prince Harry and was godmother to the couple's oldest daughter Leonora. 

They also have a daughter, Rosanna, 25, and 19–year–old old twins, Arthur and Esme. 
The outcome of the divorce case in 2012 is understood to have been that Ms Greig, 53, should be able to maintain the lifestyle she enjoyed during their 26 years of marriage. 
MailOnline has attempted to contact Mr Lonsdale for comment.
