Christmas Day, with its messages of good cheer, will be difficult enough, but the worst moment will be moving out, when she is forced to say farewell to the home she dreamed of living in as a child a house described as the most beautiful in Britain.
For a dozen years, former Marks Spencer heiress Rebecca Howard has revelled in being described as 'a chatelaine for the 21st century'. The phrase implied an unassailable position as the mistress of Castle Howard, the sprawling Yorkshire estate now 300 years old that was the setting for the epic ITV television drama series Brideshead Revisited, starring Anthony Andrews and Jeremy Irons.
But, after little over a decade in that envied role, she is about to spend her final Christmas amid its surprisingly intimate grandeur. It will be, according to one of the family, 'Christmas as usual'. But there will be precious little cheer.

Rebecca and Simon Howard,cartier copy men wedding ring, pictured at Castle Howard, are about to spend their final Christmas amid its grandeur
For soon after January 1, she and her husband Simon Howard, 58, who has lived there all his life, and their 12 year old twins Merlin and Octavia, will have to leave the 18th century mansion designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, a house that comes with temples, follies, peacocks, 100 staff and 10,000 rolling acres as well as 250,000 paying visitors a year.
To where, no one is quite sure at this moment. 'Wherever it is, Rebecca will feel she's living in the garden shed,' says a friend.
It has all been rather sudden. Into their place will sweep Simon's elder brother Nicholas, 62, a photographer, and Castle Howard's new chatelaine, his tough and very business savvy wife Victoria Barnsley,cartier copy yellow diamond ring, former 500,000 a year chief executive of publishing giant HarperCollins. In a move that has divided the wider family, Nick and Vicky are taking over.
Why? One clue lies in an anodyne statement from Castle Howard explaining that Nick is preparing 'the next generation of the Howard family to take on the running of the estate'.
Nick's son George, 29, whose grandfather was the late comedian Derek Nimmo, is already a director of the company that runs the estate.
'Some will cruelly say it is poetic justice that Rebecca, great niece of Lord Sieff, former chairman of Marks Spencer,love copy ring cartier, is having to leave the home of her dreams. For when she married Simon (in the great house, wearing the family's Cartier tiara and attended by a company of liveried footmen and trumpeters) in 2001, she was the object of angry family gossip'.
They will be replaced by Simon's older brother Nicholas Howard and his business savvy wife Victoria Barnsley
It is certainly true that when she began her affair with Simon Howard he was still married to his first wife Annette six years his senior and affectionately known to friends as Scruff though the marriage had been in difficulties for some time.
What didn't help was an unflattering profile of Rebecca in Vanity Fair, written by her friend Plum Sykes,cartier copy ring men, which had the headline 'The woman who set out to marry a house'.
Under that astonishing headline was Rebecca's own admission that she fell in love with Castle Howard when she was 14 while watching the Brideshead TV series. 'It looked so glamorous and so wonderful and you thought, I'm not going to end up in a sy little house somewhere . . . I want to live there,' she told Plum. When the Vanity Fair article appeared in June 2002, seven months after she'd become mistress of Castle Howard, she was upset that it portrayed her as a calculating house huntress. 'I fell madly in love with Simon,' she insisted.
But her obsession with Castle Howard was real enough. At 20, as a young heiress and socialite, a glossy magazine asked her where she wanted to live and her instant reply was: 'Oh, somewhere like Castle Howard.'
She had to wait until she was 34 to achieve her ambition. Now, 12 years later and aged 46, the dream is over.

But then, this is one of the hazards of spending one's entire trust fund while still in your 20s, as she did, after which the one time heiress had to work for a living, doing research for royal biographer Hugo Vickers as well as ironically enough organising tours of stately homes.
Some feel that the timing is cruel, as Simon Howard has been battling throat cancer, from which he now believes he is free. Others think that this handover of power was put on hold until his cancer crisis was over.
The fact is that the house could indeed should have been Nick's in the first place, but he didn't want it. An older brother, Henry, had a medical condition that required constant attention and was clearly unable to take it on he died six years ago.
Nick was next in line, but at the age of 16 he told his father, Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, former chairman of the BBC, that he wanted to be a rock star.
And so, while Nick set out to make it big in music, younger brother Simon was dispatched to the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester to be ready to take over the estate when the time came. And in 1984, when their father died, take over he did. The closest he got to a rock star's lifestyle was being raided by the drugs squad when he was 21 for possessing what he has described as 'a footling amount of cannabis' with four other members of his group Peaches.
It was 1973 and the band was living on social security and rent free in a farmhouse on the estate. Nick was fined 100, and a family story that is repeated to much amusement to this day is how he asked if he could pay it off in three months, only to be told by the chairman of the magistrates: 'This is meant to be a punishment, not hire purchase.'
Eventually, he gave up trying to be a rock star and turned to photography, at which he rapidly came to be highly regarded, especially for his portraits and landscapes. He has had two successful exhibitions.
