    Editorial & Brand Guidelines

    Naming

    First mention should read in full: 'The Noble House of Brattleby'. Second mention: 'the House of Brattleby' or 'the House'. The historical entity is 'the Barony of Brattleby'. Please do not describe Brattleby as an estate, house or venue — the title is not attached to any property, and events take place at hired venues in London, Bucharest and Monte Carlo.

    Titles

    Lady Nicoleta is correctly styled 'Lady Nicoleta, Baroness of Brattleby, the Twelfth' (long form) or 'the Baroness' (short). Her family name is Vasile (Romanian register) and Scarlat (maiden form). Spoken address: 'My Lady' on first encounter; 'Baroness' thereafter.

    Pronunciation

    Brattleby is pronounced BRAT-əl-bee. Vasile is pronounced VAH-see-lay. Scarlat is pronounced scar-LAHT. Crăciun is pronounced KRA-choon (the 'ă' as in 'sofa'). The Latin motto is pronounced FOR-ti-TOO-di-nay et oh-NO-ray.

    Photography

    All press photographs must carry a credit line: '© The Noble House of Brattleby / [photographer]' or '© Getty Images Editorial — Brattleby file'. Photographs must not be cropped to alter the order of precedence in group portraits.

    Heraldry

    The coat of arms may not be modified, recoloured, or animated without the written consent of the Baroness. The motto scroll is integral to the achievement and may not be removed for design convenience.

    Embargoes

    Press releases are issued under embargo where a State, charitable, or partner-related sensitivity applies. The embargo time is stated at the head of the release and is non-negotiable.
