Hugh Grosvenor and Olivia Henson were not the only ones to dress to the nines for their wedding on 7 June.

    The Duke of Westminster's mother Natalia was pictured arriving at Chester Cathedral for the high society wedding of the year in a gorgeous hot pink colour-clashing. Channelling the recent Barbie craze, the mother-of-the-groom stepped out in a bold tailored midi coat that appeared to cover her white poppy-print dress.

    Prince William's godmother added cherry red Manolo Blahnik slingback heels, a matching feathered fascinator and bold nails, which were visible as she held a romantic Olivia Le-Tan What is Love? clutch bag adorned with love hearts.

    She was pictured entering the venue after her son, worth an estimated £10 billion, arrived in a Land Rover, smiling for the cameras in a dapper morning suit. 

    Meanwhile, Olivia was the last to enter the cathedral, dressed in a gorgeous lace-trimmed wedding dress by Emma Victoria Payne, the Grosvenor family's Faberge Myrtle Leaf Tiara, and a sentimental veil that billowed in the wind. 

    DISCOVER:

    Duke of Westminster's family

    The Duke of Westminster is the only son of Gerald and Natalia Grosvenor. He grew up at Eton Hall with his three sisters Lady Tamara, Lady Edwina and Lady Viola.

    Lady Tamara married banker Edward van Cutsem at Chester Cathedral in 2004, wearing the same tiara as Olivia Henson. The couple share two sons and a daughter.

    Criminologist and philanthropist Lady Edwina Grosvenor married British TV presenter Dan Snow in an intimate wedding in November 2010 in Woolton, Liverpool. The late Princess Diana's goddaughter has since welcomed three children with Dan.

    Lady Viola had a similarly low-key wedding with Angus Roberts in 2022, attended by no members of the royal family.

    Hugh – who became the 7th Duke of Westminster aged just 25 following the death of his father Gerald in 2016 – is the last of his siblings to tie the knot. 

    Royal wedding guests

    The Grosvenor family have a long-standing connection to the royal family. Hugh has developed a close relationship with Princes William and Harry and was even asked to be the godfather to their sons Prince George and Prince Archie.
