The Duke of Westminster has found his Duchess!

Hugh Grosvenor, 33, married Olivia Henson, 31, at Chester Cathedral in northern England on June 7. Among the 400 guests at the British high-society wedding of the year were some of the Duke of Westminster's royal family connections: Prince William, who served as an usher, and Princess Eugenie.

Hugh, who became the Duke of Westminster when his father died in 2016, was long considered to be one of Britain's most eligible bachelors before getting engaged to Olivia in 2023, with his family's estimated net worth of $12.8 billion making him the richest person in the U.K. under age 40 and the 14th wealthiest overall, according to The Sunday Times' Rich List 2024.

The bride wore a wedding dress and veil by British bridal designer Emma Victoria Payne featuring hand-drawn embroidery that nodded to her great-great-grandmother’s veil from around 1880.

She topped off her bridal look with the Faberge Myrtle Leaf Tiara, which was made for Grosvenor brides and has been in the Grosvenor family since its creation in 1906.
