Inside Duke of Westminster's 'real-life Bridgerton' wedding with 100,000 flowers and free ice-cream for all - and no Prince Harry
ok.co.ukDescribed by The Times as the “most royal non-royal wedding of the year”, Hugh Grosvenor, one of Britain’s wealthiest men, is due to marry Olivia Henson today, Friday, 7 June, at Chester Cathedral in a spectacle reminiscent of a modern-day episode of Bridgerton.The 33 year old Duke of Westminster inherited his title - and the immense family fortune - when he was just 25 following the death of his father, the sixth Duke, in 2016.
