Unless she happens to be Lady (Helen) Teresa Margaret Manners, 23, daughter of Charles John Robert Manners, the tenth Duke of Rutland, and lead singer of the British aristo-rock band, the Business Connection. Despite the group's white-collar name, Lady Teresa's connections are strictly blue blood. Her father owns Belvoir Castle, one of Britain's most imposing homes; her 15-piece band includes the Marquess...
