An earl, a marquis, a knight… Who are the 21 young knights of the 2023 Debutante Ball?

Count, marquis, prince, knight… Almost all titles of nobility are included. This Saturday, November 25th, the Shangri-La opens its doors to the Debutante Ball, and with it twenty-one young ladies and their dates. A portrait of these shadowy partners who nevertheless remain privileged.

Map and area

We could almost fill the plane with the nationalities of the 2023 vintage riders. French, Italian, Indian, American, Greek, Belgian, Austrian, Scottish, Venezuelan, Indonesian, Argentinian, Chinese, Dutch. the geopolitics of the aristocracy does not fit suffers from “no bite”. So it’s not uncommon for beginners and riders to mix between countries. Boys between the ages of 16 and 26 who let young girls take the spotlight are some of the most popular families in the world. We include, among others, the knight Gabriel de Lanversin, the count Ivan de Poligny or even don Vittorio Rufo di Calabria, including the Marquis of Lorne; if we look at their titles, we will see that they had nothing to envy their female colleagues. Shangri-La, at the very least, would be an ideal setting for teaching these young men to be horsemen… anything but horsemen.
