Biography
The Duke of Wellington participated in the Lords debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on 12 September 2025, expressing support for legislative action to address inadequate end-of-life care. He emphasised that despite the United Kingdom's developed status, too many people continue to die in pain or with loss of dignity, and argued that something must be done to alleviate this situation. Though acknowledging his lack of professional medical or legal expertise, he stated his support for the principle underlying the proposed legislation.
