 The popular and inaccurate version of Blow's fall from service with the 2nd Duke of Westminster is that the architect became the target of the jealousy of the duke's third wife, the former Loelia Ponsonby, who convinced her husband that Blow was embezzling money from the estate, a claim Blow vigorously denied.Following a vindictive campaign of hatred by the Westminsters, the architect and his family were shunned by society, and he was allegedly driven to insanity by the scandal.The truth of the matter is that the Duke assigned a Grosvenor trustee, Sir Vincent Baddeley and a leading solicitor, Arthur Borrer of Boodle Hatfield, to look into Blow's conduct as the Duke's secretary.
