The Duke of Westminster and Olivia Henson will tie the knot on June 7British high society is gearing up for the wedding of the year as the Duke of Westminster and his fiancée Olivia Henson are set to marry in a matter of weeks.
During a day out in Chester, the couple also visited three charities; Cheshire Dance, Storyhouse and the Cathedral Music Trust. Hugh and William have long enjoyed a close friendship - with the Duke of Westminster named as Prince George's godfather. So it is perhaps unsurprising that the Prince of Wales will take on a starring role in the nuptials.
But as the countdown is officially on for what is set to be a multi-million pound wedding, what can we expect from Hugh and Olivia's big day?The couple will tie the knot at Chester Cathedral; a venue that holds a special place in Hugh Grosvenor's heart 'We've obviously got a long association with the cathedral as a family so we were here for my father's memorial, my sister's wedding and every Remembrance Sunday that I can attend is here,' he said.
A report from the Crewe Chronicle after the wedding said the arrival of William and Harry at Chester Cathedral sent the crowds 'wild'.Meanwhile, more than 100 police officers were deployed around the city to ensure smooth sailing on the day - a security presence likely to be replicated on June 7.
Last night, a well-informed source told The Mail on Sunday: 'William was asked to have a prominent role in the wedding and that's what triggered Harry to decline an invitation.When Prince William's eldest son Prince George was born in 2013, Hugh Grosvenor, known to friends as 'Huey', was named godfather.The Mail on Sunday reported this weekend that, alongside his father, Prince George, the duke's godson, is also set to play a prominent role in the wedding.
Hugh Grosvenor is one of four siblings, and the only boy. When his father Gerald died from a heart attack in 2016 at just 64 years old, Hugh inherited the Dukedom as his only male heir. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will remain in the US while their son Prince Archie's godfather ties the knot. Last year, it was claimed that Prince Harry had been 'snubbed' from the wedding, but a source close to the Sussexes was at pains to explain to US publication Page Six that both Meghan and Harry had in fact received invitations, but had jointly decided to decline.
