Alexander Millington-Cotes

Alexander Millington-Cotes, the 31-year-old stepson of renowned explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, has become a subject of public attention due to his concerns over Fiennes' wellbeing. Millington-Cotes is estranged from his mother, Louise, who is Fiennes' current wife. He has launched a crowdfunding campaign aiming to raise £55,000 for specialist legal advice to help locate and safeguard the explorer, who has not been publicly seen for over two years. Furthermore, Millington-Cotes has been contacted by Cheshire police regarding his concerns and intends to speak with them. His actions highlight a significant, albeit unusual, public effort to ascertain the welfare of a prominent public figure, driven by familial concern and a perceived lack of information.
