William Hanson: Etiquette Coach, Podcasts and Verified Facts

Seven rows, one pattern: the identity fields have sources, while the personal fields stop at a gap instead of a guess.

Has William Hanson got a partner?

Wikipedia (public encyclopedia) lists Michael (Mikey) Worrall as his spouse and dates the marriage to 16 September 2022. Daily UK Post (secondary biography site) also names Worrall as spouse, according to that site, but it is a tier-three source and is used here only to fill gaps.

Newsmatter (UK news site) takes the opposite view and says no confirmed partner information exists, a claim that conflicts with Wikipedia and The Times.

Does William Hanson have a wife?

• No source reviewed names a wife.
• The named spouse is Michael Worrall, so the wife variant of this question does not match the record.
• Podcast and social content do not settle relationship status and are not used here.

The implication: the marriage rests on Wikipedia plus a tier-three site, so it is firmly recorded but not independently confirmed. Treat it as the documented position rather than a checked fact.

How old is William Hanson?

Born on 2 September 1989, Hanson turned 36 on 2 September 2025 and stays 36 until his next birthday on 2 September 2026. The age calculation uses only the birth date, applied to whatever date you are reading. The Times (national newspaper) gave 36 in June 2026, which matches. Newsmatter gave 35 in July 2026, a figure that does not fit the same birth date.

How tall is William Hanson?

• No source reviewed gives a height figure.
• Height is therefore not confirmed, and this page does not estimate it.

The implication: age is the one personal detail here that can be worked out, because it follows from a dated birth record rather than from self-description.

What is William Hanson’s background?

Hanson’s public career runs through etiquette coaching, podcasting and books, and the interest began earlier than most of his current work. Vanity Fair (magazine profile) links his interest to a childhood gift and his first teaching to a school request when he was about 16 or 17. The sections below take each strand in turn.

What does William Hanson do as an etiquette coach?

• He owns The English Manner, an etiquette and protocol coaching company he joined in 2008 and came to own in 2019, according to Wikipedia (public encyclopedia).
• Clients include VIP households, embassies, multinational companies and private clients (Penguin Books Australia (publisher listing)).
• Hanson describes himself as an etiquette coach and says he wants to own the label (We Were Your Raised By Wolves (podcast interview)).

The catch: the client list comes from a publisher’s description rather than from client records, so it shows the reach the claim makes rather than its scale.

What podcasts does William Hanson host?

• Help I Sexted My Boss, co-hosted with Jordan North, has run for eight years, according to The Times (national newspaper).
• The Luxury Podcast, co-hosted with Jonathan Vernon-Smith, launched in 2021 as Keeping Up Appearances: The Luxury Podcast, according to Wikipedia (public encyclopedia).
• Help I Sexted My Boss was the first British podcast broadcast live into cinemas in the UK and northern Europe, across more than 400 cinemas (WhatsOnStage, a theatre listings site).

What books has William Hanson written?

• Just Good Manners was published in the UK by Century in May 2025 and became a Sunday Times bestseller (William Hanson official site (author’s own website)).
• Just Good Manners reached the US through Gallery in spring 2025, according to the William Hanson official site.
• The Bluffer’s Guide to Etiquette is dated 2013 on the official site, while Wikipedia gives 2014.
• Protocol to Manage Relationships Today (2020) was co-written with Jean Paul Wijers, according to Wikipedia (public encyclopedia).

What this means: the book record is the most solid part of the bibliography, but the Bluffer’s Guide date stays disputed until a publisher record settles it.

Is William Hanson satire?

• No source reviewed says whether the programme is satire.
• The sourced record confirms that Hanson co-hosts Help I Sexted My Boss with Jordan North, according to Wikipedia (public encyclopedia).

The catch: the sources show what the shows are, not how they are meant to be taken, so the satire question stays open.

How does Jordan North know William Hanson?

• No source reviewed explains how the two first met.
• Their working link is the shared podcast, Help I Sexted My Boss, according to The Times (national newspaper).

Who were William Hanson’s parents?

No parent is named in any source reviewed, so this section cannot answer the question with a name.

Who is William Hansons brother?

• No sibling is confirmed by the sources reviewed.
• An unpublished Wikipedia draft (unpublished) mentions a brother, but no primary source confirms the name.

The implication: family details are a gap in the record, and naming a brother from a draft would turn an unverified note into a claim.

What is William Hansons net worth?

No source reviewed gives a net worth figure. The Times (national newspaper) describes podcast income as his main salary but puts no sum on his wealth, so any estimate here would be guesswork.

The trade-off: a precise number would read better, but none of the sources supports one, so the field stays open.

Confirmed facts and open questions

The implication: the verified core is narrow but firm. It covers identity, work and books, while personal life stays open.

What Hanson says about his work

“Most traditional etiquette books talk about tea with ambassadors. They don’t cover how to behave in Tesco.”

William Hanson, etiquette coach and author, in iNews (UK news outlet)

“Etiquette is etiquette. We need it, I don’t care, I want to own it, and own the fact that I am an etiquette coach.”

William Hanson, in We Were Your Raised By Wolves (podcast interview)

“the Emily Post for the TikTok generation”

Vanity Fair (magazine profile), describing how Hanson presents himself

In the same iNews interview, Hanson said the podcast was never meant to run beyond three series (iNews, UK news outlet), which the show’s eight-year run has since overtaken.

The implication: the quotes are self-description, so they explain how Hanson presents his work, not whether the work is as large as his own framing suggests.

Where the record stands

The verified core of William Hanson’s public life is narrow but firm: a dated birth, a named career in etiquette coaching, two podcasts, and books with publisher dates. The personal questions most readers arrive with, including partner, family, height and money, sit outside what these sources can settle. The one sourced spouse record is contested by a tier-three site, which is enough reason to read it as documented rather than proven. Readers who repeat the partner claim should cite the Wikipedia record as documented but unconfirmed, or they risk printing an unverified marriage as fact.
