Duke of Westminster wedding: UK's 'most eligible bachelor' ties knot - with a little help from Prince William

The Duke of Westminster, who was once referred to as "the most qualified single man in Britain," has recently gotten married.

Prince William played the role of an attendant at the Chester Cathedral ceremony, where the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, a billionaire aristocrat aged 33, and Olivia Henson, aged 31, happened.

The Prince of Wales showed up at the cathedral around 10.30am. He arrived in a Mercedes and went in through a side entrance that was not noticeable to most of the people who were assembled on the street outside.

Around 400 guests graced the wedding occasion, which had been promoted as one of the highly esteemed gatherings of the year.

The Duke of Sussex, who is William's brother, was not anticipated to show up at an event because of an extended discord between the two siblings.

Some important people were not present at the event, such as the Princess of Wales who is currently receiving cancer treatment and has not been appearing in public. The King, who is a godfather to the groom, was also absent as he participated in the D-Day ceremonies in France the day before.

The Duke of Westminster has been chosen to be the godfather of Prince George, who is the son of William. According to reports, he has also been chosen to be the godfather of Prince Archie, who is the son of Harry.

It was anticipated that George, who is ten years old, wouldn't show up since it's a day of class.

This year, the duke was listed as the wealthiest person under 40 by the Sunday Times, with an estimated net worth of £10.1 billion.

At the age of 25, he became the rightful owner of the Grosvenor Estate and inherited his title after his father passed away from a heart attack in 2016. As a result of his marriage, his partner has become a duchess.

The pair revealed their plan to get married in April of the previous year following their two-year-long relationship.

Ms. Henson went to the cathedral with her dad using a vintage Bentley car that was specifically manufactured in 1930 for the company owner.

She had on a gown and a head covering that were both created by Emma Victoria Payne.

The blog showcased a pattern for embroidery that included flower patterns and trimmings which were inspired by the veil of Ms Henson's ancestor dating back to 1880.

As the bride approached the cathedral, her lengthy veil fluttered in the breeze, causing the spectators to gasp in amazement.

Additionally, she donned the Grosvenor bridal Faberge Myrtle Leaf Tiara, a family heirloom since 1906.

She carried a bunch of blossoms that were plucked from the gardens of the Duke's ancestral abode at Eaton Hall.

The ceremony was conducted by Tim Stratford, who holds the position of dean in Chester and is addressed as Very Reverend Dr.

The service was graced by the performance of the Chester Cathedral Choir, who were backed by musicians from the North West region of England.

It was reported that the couple selected the location for their wedding due to its stunning appearance and a special connection to the duke, whose family residence, Eaton Hall, is in close proximity.

After the service, there was a private gathering.

We obtained seasonal blossoms from nearby cultivators to decorate the ceremony. After the marriage, the flowers will be arranged into bouquets and given to nearby nonprofit associations, churches, and other entities.

The council of Chester cautioned that there would be more activity in the city than usual on Friday because of the wedding. They put several road closures in position and encouraged individuals to reconsider their travels.
