Anna Maria Russell, Duchesse de Bedford (1783 – 1857) Anna la 7e duchesse de Bedford est reconnue pour la création du Afternoon Tea en 1840. À l’époque, le dîner n'était pas servi avant 20h30 ou 21h en soirée et la duchesse avait souvent faim durant l’après-midi, surtout en été quand le dîner était servi après la tombée de la nuit. Elle commandait en secret à sa chambre des petits repas de pain, beurre et autres subtilités, comme des gâteaux, tartes et biscuits. Quand elle a été exposée, elle n'a pas été ridiculisée comme elle le craignait. Au contraire, son habitude devint un rituel : petit repas avec tasse de thé. Si bien, que ceci est devenu populaire et mieux connu sous le nom de Afternoon Tea. Anna the 7th Duchess of Bedford is often credited with the creation of the tradition of the Afternoon Tea in the early 1840’s. Traditionally dinner was not served until 8:30 or 9 in the evening and the Duchess often became hungry, especially in the summer when dinner was served even sundown. She ordered a small treat of bread, butter and other niceties, such as cakes, tarts and biscuits, to be brought secretly to her boudoir. When she was exposed, she was not ridiculed, as she feared. On the contrary, her habit caught on and the ritual of a small treat, of niceties and tea, became popular and well k nown as «Afternoon tea».
