Edward A. S. Hulton is an English socialite, a member of the English gentry and a publishing fortune heir. He is the eldest son of Sir Edward George Warris Hulton and Princess Nika Yourievitch.
Early life and family[edit]
Edward Alexander Sergius Hulton was born as the first son of Sir Edward George Warris Hulton and Princess Nika Yourievitch, daughter of Russian noble Serge Youriévitch and Montenegrin Princess Helene de Lipovatz. His younger siblings are Cosmo Philip Paul Hulton and Elizabeth Frances Helen Hulton.[1] He is the grandson of Sir Edward Hulton, 1st Baronet and great-grandson of Edward Hulton. His cousin is Sir Jocelyn Stevens, making Stevens' granddaughters Poppy Delevingne and Cara Delevingne his first cousins twice removed.
As a small child, Hulton was diagnosed with tuberculosis, which his parents originally tried to treat in Britain. When that did not work, they sent him to a sanitorium in the Swiss Alps where he lived for many months. He felt "abandoned and forgotten... His parents' visits were few and far between, and though he was showered with gifts he suspected that his parents were more invested in their social engagements in Monaco, Paris and Rome than in having him return home..."[2]
Marriages[edit]
In October 1981, Hulton married Sydney-born Australian Jillian Robertson, daughter of Noel Robertson. Jillian Robertson was an author, journalist and botanist. She had formerly been married to British journalist Martin Page, with whom she had son James "Jamie" Page.[2] Upon Hulton's marriage to Robertson, he became James' stepfather. A visitor to the Hulton villa on the French Riviera wrote about the difficulty that Hulton had in relating to James. Eventually, Hulton further pulled away from the family when he began an affair with a wealthy stockbroker's wife in London.[3]
The two divorced in Monaco 1988. Just 16 hours later, Robertson went on to marry Angus Alan Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, 15th Duke of Hamilton, son of Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, 14th Duke of Hamilton and Lady Elizabeth Ivy Percy.[4] After two years, Robertson left Douglas-Hamilton and returned to Australia with a divorce being processed in 1995.[5][6]
Hulton later married Caroline Winer, with whom he has two sons, named Edward Nicholas Jack Hulton and John Alexander Romund Hulton.
Flying Boat[edit]
Hulton spent over £2 million pound sterling on a Short Sandringham flying boat that he named Excalibur VIII, which was considered "the love of his life."[7] He acquired the airplane in May 1979, which was then housed in a storage facility in Isla Grande, San Juan, Puerto Rico. On May 17, Captain Brian Monkton flew the plan to Calshot, England for Hulton. Six years later in 1985, the plane was used in both Mr. and Mrs. Edgehill and Tenko. Eventually, the plane was sold to Kermit Weeks of Weeks Air Museum in Miami Florida after failing to meet reserve during a Sothebys auction in 1991. As of late 2014, the plane is now on display at the Fantasy of Flight Museum that much of Weeks' collection went to.[8][9]
