Exclusive Interview: Charles Gordon-Lennox, 11th Duke of Richmond on Tradition & Innovation (Original English, Part 1)

County of Sussex: A sprawling estate, surrounded by endless fields
and ancient tree-lined avenues. A horse racing track, an airfield,
a racetrack – and at its heart: Goodwood House. For generations, it
has been the family seat of the Dukes of Richmond. Today, this
extraordinary place belongs to a man who is continuing its story:
Charles Gordon-Lennox, 11th Duke of Richmond. -- In this episode of
BRITPOD, Alexander-Klaus Stecher and Claus Beling meet a visionary
who bridges tradition and the future in remarkable ways. Because
the Duke is far more than just a titleholder: he’s a photographer,
entrepreneur, motorsport enthusiast – and the creative mind behind
iconic events such as the Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival.
As the steward of the 12,000-hectare Goodwood Estate near
Chichester, he is guiding a great legacy into a new era. At the
center of his vision: sustainability, entrepreneurship and a
celebration of British lifestyle. The close partnership with
Rolls-Royce, whose headquarters are located on the estate, also
reflects the values that define Goodwood: quality, responsibility
and excellence. How did Goodwood become an international
destination for motorsport, culture and style? How does the estate
succeed in blending tradition and innovation so harmoniously? What
role do education, the arts and sustainability play in shaping its
future? And what personally drives the Duke forward? BRITPOD –
