Hugh Grosvenor's engagement announcement and wedding venue have already turned heads

If former royal adjacent weddings are anything to go by, excited fans will not receive any major updates about the big day until it happens. Like many high-profile couples before them, they are expected to remain tight-lipped about the wedding dress, the flowers and the cake.But they may not follow every aspect of the age-old format we've seen from Hugh Grosvenor's close friends the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

"The Duke of Westminster and Miss Olivia Henson are delighted to announce they are engaged to be married," the pair said in a statement."The couple, who have been together for two years, recently became engaged at the Duke's family home at Eaton Hall in Cheshire. Members of both their families are absolutely delighted with the news.

The only detail Hugh and Olivia have announced is their chosen wedding venue, Chester Cathedral. Shunning the larger, more popular locations such as Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle, they explained their choice was much more personal. But Gerald, the 6th Duke of Westminster, was aware of the pitfalls of their vast wealth long before he passed on the title to his son. Back in 1992, the late Duke told: "I do feel sorry for Hugh. He will be under enormous pressure. He's a lucky boy to be given all the material things in life, but he'll need to be robust mentally to survive. There are many pitfalls, when one inherits such an enormous amount of money, especially in adolescence.
