And in third place, Robert Miller, his daughter Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, and their family are listed as the third wealthiest with links to Yorkshire estimated to be worth £1.583bn, down from £617m from last year.

Miller was born in America and founded DFS Group, which deals in duty-free shopping, fashion, and finance (not sofas). Miller owns Gunnerside estate in Yorkshire which spans 36,000 acres.

Miller’s farm, a sprawling 2,000-acre working farm located at the head of the River Swale in the Yorkshire Dales was made famous by the Owen family who shot to fame with the popular Channel 5 show Our Yorkshire Farm.

The Owens and their nine kids have been farming up in the Swaledale region for 25 years on the billion-pound estate-owned Ravenseat Farm.

The farm is an hour’s walk west of Keld and is also halfway up the Coast to Coast walk.
