A 4th generation British aristocrat's guide to being fabulous

Step 4: Throw a bone to the common people

As a 4th generation British aristocrat, it's time to give back. But not in the way you think. No, no, no. We're talking about throwing a bone to the common people, not, you know, actual bones. That's just tacky.

Here's how to do it like a pro:

  1. Host an over-the-top tea party with enough sandwiches to feed the entire village
  2. Instruct your butler to wear a top hat and monocle
  3. Make sure the china is at least 50% gold
  4. Invite the local news to report on the "giving back" and make sure the headlines are dramatic

And for good measure, make a few wry remarks about how you're only throwing a bone because you have to, and that's all you're doing.
