        Because he owns a massive proportion of the country's land, both in London and elsewhere.

        Of no consequence to the vast majority of people. Titled man dies, BBC tells serfs to grieve.

        They didn't tell anyone to grieve. He was a big landowner, therefore significant to the UK.

        That's the implication or why else report it? No significance, just a bizarre throwback.

        He was the landlord for a big area of central London. So it's newsworthy.

        Why? It makes no difference. All will be inherited by another upper class twit nobody knows.
