Torrid history of the Montagu family

Julie Montagu's husband comes from a long line of aristocratic noblemen, but their lineage has a very dark history involved.
Luke Montagu's Grandfather Victor was gay and his Grandmother left her husband for a woman. Victor Montagu sexually molested his youngest son Robert (Luke's uncle) repeatedly from the age of four until eleven. The whole convoluted history is quite disturbing. Julie's husband has struggled with issues related to chemical dependency, and seems quite odd.

I read about that over a year ago. The younger son who was abused has been very open about what he was forced to endure. Sadly, his own family turned away from him because of it.

Yes-I believe he actually became a psychologist. I did hear that his family was angered by his public openness. Being wealthy and pedigreed doesn't mean they are good people. Very sad story.

And she wonders why nobody from the public wants to visit?
