Congratulations to the couple on the arrival of their baby daughter. I like the name Willow. Not sure that it goes with Pelly though. Guy leads quite a quiet sort of life now anyway I believe. He's virtually left the club scene and is doing something else.
Congratulations are due too to Palmerston, the cat in the next item down. One rat and 26 mice dispatched in one year on Foreign Office premises is a magnificent achievement. Well done, Palmerston! (Named after the famous 19th century statesman no doubt.)

QuoteNacho, a father-of-four, attended the wedding of Harry and Meghan, and is often pictured posing alongside the Prince at polo matches.
He and his wife Delfina Blaquier were among the first to meet baby Archie, having visited Windsor shortly after his birt
Wow! That's a coincidence. :teehee:
Tasteless, no wonder he was kissing a$$ at the Ellen Show after the infamous African Documentary, ''Harry and Meghan are heroes, and should be treated as such by everyone''.
The blatant association, so quickly after the kissing fest. :wacko:
People can say whatever they want. Nothing wrong with praising the couple. I see nothing tasteless whatsoever.
Meghan and Harry are in no position to give them "permission" to use the name Windsor. That would have to be taken to a higher level as a request to get permission.

how delusional is this couple.... no wonder they think meghan is so famous and popular as diana LMAO... their 'close friends' (aka syncophants) really says all what anyone needs knows about this couple...
charles isnt the only (or the worst) megalomaniac in this family... that's for sure... at least his whole life he's been surrounded by people who see him as special because his position... but one woman as meghan who wasnt famous at all, her ego is utterly over the top WITHOUT any 'good reason'
The embarrassment is Nacho at the Ellen show. Straight face saying they are heroes because of their work, and ongoing bla bla embarrassment, plus the woe is them, castle, palace. He almost cried like the makeup artist friend. Ends up using the Windsor name for his plug. Comical :laugh: xD
the fact that this sort of people are close to them... makes harry and meghan equal embarrassment(s)
i dont remember any.one close to charles or diana during the war of waleses ever saying people SHOULD hero-worship them!
It's up to them to talk to the Jennifer's and Nacho's...
The plugging is embarrassing
What Niacho says is what he says. Neither Harry or Meghan are behind the couch acting as ventriloquists and pulling his strings.
And according to Harper's Bazaar, contrary to the Telegraph story the Sussexes are just enjoying a break Stateside. They are relaxing. Meghan is not planning operations to do with Sussex Royal at all. So all the imputations of her being 'the boss' in charge of Harry, and statements attributed to her about their foundation by the Telegraph are a load of BS. Like 99% of what is printed by the British media about the Sussex couple.

What does DIana have to do with it? The media drags her into discussions of both Kate and Meghan. Media sources gush about how "so much like" DIana they are.
How is it known how Meghan "thinks?"
@sandy it's better you look up at your posts in charles, kate and william threads instead of you feel entitled to criticize my opinions
Well this thread is about Meghan and Harry and I am pointing out a fact that for one reason or another Diana's name is invoked re: Kate or Meghan by the media, even before each woman got married and joined the family. I am not addressing you about Diana's name being invoked--but the media and some blogs who continue to say Meghan "wants to be the new Diana." I don't see any evidence of this. Both Kate and Meghan speak respectfully about Diana but neither said they want to be just like her.
Nacho must've had this in mind for a while. Was there no other name?
I doubt that PH and MM had anything to do with this. IMO.
Some people just like to namedrop. Perhaps that applies to Nacho.
Yes, name dropping royals is good for business it seems. I think he wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

Meghan Markle's friend Jessica Mulroney reveals big plans for royal wedding anniversary | HELLO! (https://www.hellomagazine.com/brides/2020051889998/jessica-mulroney-wedding-collection-meghan-markle-anniversary/)
QuoteThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex will celebrate their second wedding anniversary on Tuesday, and Meghan's close friend Jessica Mulroney has found a unique way to mark the occasion ? by releasing a new bridal collection. The stylist, whose children all played a role in Meghan's bridal party, has teamed up with loungewear label Smash + Tess to create a limited-edition collection of rompers and onesies especially for brides and grooms-to-be.
The collection will launch online on Tuesday and aims to help couples to celebrate and share their engagement news in a fun way, and no doubt it won't be long until we see some Instagram engagement announcements featuring these fun designs.
Jessica Mulroney has been fired from CTV over an exchange with Sasha Exeter.
Meghan Markle's BFF Jessica Mulroney is FIRED from TV gig for 'racist' remarks | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8412651/Meghan-Markles-BFF-Jessica-Mulroney-FIRED-TV-gig-racist-remarks.html)
Quote
Meghan Markle's best friend Jessica Mulroney has been fired from her TV presenting gig just hours after she apologized for a 'white privilege' row with a black social media influencer.
The firing of Mulroney, 40, was confirmed in a tweet by CTV on Thursday evening, who said the recent actions of the I Do, Redo host had conflicted with their 'commitment to diversity and equality'.
'Bell Media and CTV encourages our entire team including on-air talent to practice respect, inclusivity and allyship as we pledge to work better and more openly to listen to and amplify black voices, and not minimize them,' the statement began.
'Because recent conduct by one of our shows hosts, Jessica Mulroney, conflicts with our commitment to diversity and equality, CTV has removed ?I DO REDO? from all Bell Media channels and platforms effective immediately.'
The announcement follows an emotional video posted by Toronto-based influencer Sasha Exeter, who claimed Mulroney had 'threatened' her during an argument about 'speaking up' against racism.
It was an exchange of views, ie an argument on Twitter between Jessica and Sasha, both of whom are Canadian. I Do Redo is a Canadian show. Jessica was extremely stupid to engage in such remarks, especially so in the atmosphere during and after the George Floyd murder in the US.
Despite the delight of the Fail in reporting this, I doubt Jessica M is a racist. If she had been we would have heard about it before now when she's already in her 40s. Canada has always been very careful in its policies on racism, sexism etc. I doubt it's going to impact on her friendship with Meghan, especially as she apologised to Sasha.
I agree that Jessica should not have publicly engaged with Sasha via social media on their differing view points also I doubt it will impact her relationship with her friend Meghan.
However, with regard to this topic, again something presumed negative with regard to Meghan/the Sussexes (ie Jessica M's sacking) has featured on this forum in letters ten times the usual format and in colour. Is this acceptable, because if so I might do the same in other threads?

Am I missing soemting? I can't see letters ten times the usual format or colour>?Or is this in another thread?
Except Good Morning America, all her sponsor brands have dropped her, equally all these brands and her wedding TV show was acquired 2 years ago, because of the Meghan Markle connection.
These times are very dangerous and a mad house. If one is on an impulse of letting steam out, better take a walk/run/exercise before hitting any keyboard. Just look at JM stressed out....and lost her career.
Monday 1st June breakfast time London time, Tatler Kate article
Monday 1st June tea time London time, Cambridge's announce they will sue, and a tit for tat ensue
Tuesday 2nd June breakfast time London time, The Sun associates Anna/SIL Mulroney/Jessica Mulroney
Tuesday 2nd June lunch time London time, Jessica Mulroney posts in Instagram she's taking a break, shutting down temp her Instagram (People rightly or wrongly associate it with the Tatler debacle)
Wednesday 3rd June, JM can't resist the itch, checks her Instagram and decides to have a titter tatter with Instagram Influencer Sasha who wrote on her Instagram same Wednesday 3rd Toronto time a generic post to her followers to use their voice for the #BlackLivesMatter.
Thursday 11th June, Sasha records a video, shows Instagram/Whatsapp/Private Messages (Direct Messages), all hell breaks loose, because Jessica M lost her mind during this very delicate times. Now she's being called a Amy Cooper, a Karen.

Update. Good Morning America have cut ties with Jessica Mulroney.
She won't have a career anymore, like the radio BBC guy that was fired.
Looks like Jessica has been Markled
Meghan Markle 'mortified' over friend Jessica Mulroney's threats | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8415717/Meghan-Markle-absolutely-mortified-best-friend-Jessica-Mulroneys-actions.html)
For entertainment purpose I've been watching since this past December 2019 two tarot that have a very large subscription followers, Tarot by Janine and Joseph Magi, the first one and how I entertained myself watching her prediction in December 2019 of what happened in January and subsequent leaving the UK, the later said 2 months ago around March that a famous public person close/knows MM very well was going to be in a race row and completely ousted from her media life.
I can't help but say wow. Don't know nothing of card interpretation, but if one is bored, get entertained, warning: their latest about 1 month to date tarot videos are going heavier and deeper into twilight zone issues.
Yes, two tarot readers who have grown subscriptions from people who watch them bash Meghan solidly every day for months.
I've practised tarot and astrology for more than thirty years and have checked these two conspiracy-theorist so called tarot readers' sites for three years or more, daily. And as someone who has long known about what Magi is about I can assure you he gets things wrong far more than he gets things correct. Perhaps you could check on his predictions about Charles--suicide, about William--another child besides the ones with Kate, Kate, unfaithful to William, not able to have children, etc etc etc..
As for Janine, when she's not going into conspiracy theories that would make the foil tin hat brigade laugh she's insisting that Harry is away from Meghan and living hidden away in England with the BRF. And she's been at that for months! Oh, and predicting imminent divorce since Feb, and the use of body doubles in the couple's photos etc. Plus, Prince Philip is dead, has been since Xmas!!
As I said don't know nothing of tarot, but those two instances is wow factor.
You don't realise that their Twitter brigade send them stuff from the Internet? And Janine at least has predicted, along with other anti Meghan tarot readers that have tried to cash in, that Meghan would be leaving the RF and going to the US since at least last September, plus that Jessica M would get into a mess. (Again that's been Tumblr talk.)
Magi, Janine and two other tarot readers communicate with each other and often work in concert. Plus Janine's little assistant Guy hasn't been seen for quite a while now. Not enough money in the Meghan bashing and conspiracy theories over the last few weeks for two people to get rich?
Quite mad hatters, as I said for entertainment purpose, who are the other 2 to check them out?
I'm not naming them here or giving them any publicity in any way, shape or form.
Apparently people in Canada are starting to speak out about the treatment of Ben and Jessica, after the Sasha debacle.
The Husband resigned this past weekend.
Quote
Ben, 44, resigned from his job on a showbiz news programme in the hope that the role can be given to someone ?black, indigenous or a person of colour?.
As he announced his departure, he said: ?Thank you all for your words of kindness and support, and most of all for holding us all, including me, accountable.?
Lainey also made a lengthy article in her gossip site, extract
Quote
?Before Sasha Exeter told her story, there were a lot of people in Canadian media with their own Jessica Mulroney stories. Some of them are thinking of telling them now after Sasha opened the door. But they don?t work with her husband.
?People are afraid of retribution ? Retribution might not come this week or next week, but in three or six months, when Jessica?s white privilege (which is already working in her favour) is reactivated. She has powerful allies.?
Canadian society columnist Shinan Govani has been writing like mad. If interested, search him, he apparently confirms Cory and Meghan overlapping with Harry, Jessica going completely of the rails with the ''Royal'' connection. He starts by writing he met Meghan through Jessica and Cory V, they were invited to dinner at his (Shinan Govani) home, the Trudeaus were also there as her BFF the Soho Director.
I am stunned at how quickly both of the Mulroneys have been sidelined by this episode. :o
Jessica Mulroney has been desperately reaching out to best friend Meghan Markle in a bid to patch up their friendship ? but to no avail, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Sources said the Canadian socialite, 40, has been met with silence from the Duchess of Sussex, 37, and has been warned that she is unlikely to be readmitted to her inner circle.
An insider said: Jessica has been calling Meghan non-stop and also calling up mutual friends to try and patch up their friendship.

And of course all the confidantes and best friends of both women rushed to the Mail, the sister paper to the one being sued, to tell their journalists. Meghan ha*tes the Fail in all its forms and is still locked down in LA. The Fail can't do its job of listening at keyholes ie paying staff and servants for tip offs, under these circumstances and is stuck peddling its usual rubbish.
I'm sorry that their long friendship has hit this bump and hopefully the two will be able to reconnect in the future. Meghan is Godmother to Ivy and I would hope that the children will be able to stay connected to her.
We don't know that the two of them have ever split privately. Unless the Fail has bugs on both their private phones they may speak every day! I hardly think Jessica's intimates would be rushing to the Fail with all this info about her being desperate etc especially as she is widely speculated to be one of the Five who spoke to People magazine re the latest in the lawsuit. It's in the Fail's interest to keep the best known of the Five (as they believe she is) in the public eye for as long as they possibly can until the Court case.

Jessica Mulroney has deleted a throwback snap of one of her twin sons at Meghan Markleswedding, after initially posting it on Thursday amid reports of a fallout with the Duchess of Sussex.
The stylist, 40, from Canada, first shared the sweet image on Instagram, writing: 'When I feel dark and grey, I see this and it all goes away.
She later amended the caption, changing it to: I see this and pure joy.
But Jessica, who was emblazoned in a race row earlier this year leading to the Duchess of Sussex, 39, to reportedly cut ties with her, has since deleted the image from her Instagram page.

LOL somewhere out there the primary teachers who taught William and Harry their cursive writing are having a good laugh. It's always fascinating to me to see how signatures develop from that very correct and carefully written letters to an adult signature. To be fair, the brothers were likely instructed to make their signatures very unique as they matured.
Sorry to hear that the charity is closing but it seems that the family is ready to move in a different direction with their work.
Very sad that the charity will be closing. Even sadder is that Harry van would have been Pr Harry?s age now if he had not had that awful but careless accident. It left a big gap in the family between the brothers Tom and Charlie.
I think most people in the public eye learn to write quickly and therefore scrawl a bit. The most bizarre signature I?ve ever seen is Adolf Hitler?s. The whole signature looks as if it was written on an angle. It?s completely vertical!

The pair previously dated back in the year 2000, after meeting at the Beaufort Polo Club in Gloucestershire after Wills finished his A-levels at Eton - and were once rumoured to have been caught by a farmer canoodling in a field.
Rose is generally considered the Prince's first serious girlfriend, with him going on to date several women at university before meeting his now-wife Catherine, the Princess of Wales, in 2003.

Ellen had a very successful career for decades. She has been friends with the couple for several years. What happens to friends in their careers doesn?t usually affect people?s friendships. Or it shouldn?t!
And as for the rumours about the Sussexes no longer being friends with Oprah, now being crowed about by the British tabloids I wouldn?t be so sure. There were certain similar suggestions made about Serena Williams because of the Bower book, and next thing there was favourable comment in SW?s IG about her friend and the podcast, and comments in an interview. I still think the Sussexes were probably away on a trip at the time of the Oprah birthday bash.
Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Attend Ellen and Portia's Vow Renewal (https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-prince-harry-attend-ellen-degeneres-portia-de-rossi-surprise-vow-renewal-celebrity-guest-list/)
Are these people also ?cancelled losers? because they were fellow guests?
From the article
Other famous faces at the event included Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Carol Burnett, Courteney Cox, Melissa Etheridge, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.
Like minds stick together.
Ellen was busted by more than 2 dozen of her employees for being a bully, her show was cancelled.
Oprah and Gayle are 'apologists' of the Me Too movement the first exited (IMO under pressure) the second is a puppet of the first, they very likely have something very serious to hide about their very close friendship with Harvey.
Have I ever dropped someone because of a serious i.e. something like the above. No, I've never encountered in the office bullying behaviour 'in my area' (in another area, heard the story, the person was fired, his very close associates lasted about 3 months each and resigned, I mean if you hang out after hours, pub, drinks, for years, surely one must have seen some red flag?! mistreatment of lower people?!) nor have found out that a acquaintance or worse a friend was a rapist, sex offender.
I consider, my character, the above serious offenders, and just in case I am not a prude. I do not get easily shocked by bad behaviour, but in this woke era (I will use woke seriously too rather than loosely like the people listed in both parties), they are fake plastic people, operators for money exchange.

End Quote.
Charles had VERY close friendships with four men for many years, Laurenz van der Post, Jimmy Saville, Armand Hammer and Bishop Ball who exhibited dodgy not to say criminal behaviour in their private lives. Two of them he wanted as godfathers for William, one van der Post, succeeded, Hammer was, thank God, vetoed by Diana. Bishop Ball was mistreated and persecuted by Church authorities according to Charles until he was faced with undeniable truth about his friend. And the least said about Saville the better. Did he ever see red flags through years of close friendship with all or any of the above? Apparently not. And they did far far worse things than Ellen or Oprah have ever been accused of.
These weren?t ?woke? people by any stretch of the imagination, (and ?woke? is invariably used by right wingers as an insult) nor did any of them ever get fired. However, there are a load of celebrities who hang around royalty and royals for the most part sort them out into users and otherwise. For Charles however, his choice of friends shows his serious lack of judgement in many areas of his life.

There is something about Tyler Perry, just like Kanye West I don't like.
The fact of 'giving' to strangers (Harry and Meghan), I will be curious IF there will ever be a 'taking' (payback time) or if this guy is a serious angel like Keanu Reeves.
I'm queasy about him only because of the splashing ways to help spoiled and evil Harry and Megs despite the known fact of how both treat people. My Keanu reference is the little window of hope that Tyler wants to get close to troubled people to ''really'' help them in a serious humane manner when and if one or both hit rock bottom.

The next best thing to a royal wedding (and one that will be attended by senior membrs RF)
The Duke of Westminster and Miss Olivia Henson have announced their engagement. The couple, who have been together for two years, became engaged at the Duke?s family home at Eaton Hall, Cheshire
^ Agree and In my opinion Eaton Hall is perfect for their wedding venue.
Not just the RF at the wedding but half the aristocracy I should think.
Olivia has an interesting educational background. Can speak Italian and Spanish, is a senior accounts manager, and attended Dragon School Oxford (a distinguished and well known establishment but the name always makes me laugh as it reminds me of Harry Potter!) before Marlborough and University. Olivia is 30. They won?t wait too long to have a family I think. Hugh is an only son, as was his father Gerald, so heirs are important. And yes, I know it?s sexist but that?s the way things still are!

These two women saw each other occasionally when they were in the same country and were acquaintances at best. Is this story what passes for news in the DM these days? If so it?s typical.
New life, new friends. She?d also never been friendly with George and Amal Clooney prior to the wedding, and after she invited them, they started hanging out at their Italian mansion.
I doubt Prince Harry and the now Duchess of Sussex were going to be pals with a Made in Chelsea ?star.? Prior to her marriage to Harry, things were different. Meghan hung around a lot of people that might get her an invite or two. Now, she gets all the invites forwarded to her. Different life.
Elton John and David Furnish will never see the light of day ever again with anything related to the British Royal family, only with Harry and Meghan, IF ever.
Downfall: Elton's influence with H in reference to the possible lawsuit, hearing proceedings are done, awaiting the Judge's conclusion.
And the WSJ latest article confirming that H&M, especially M were working already with Netflix while still being royal workers pre Megxit. Who was the intermediary working hard with M, David Furnish with direct involvement from Netflix, only to be cancelled, Pearl. The comic of the liking of M will leaked.

What makes you think that Elton John wants any more events with the RF? He?s already been knighted, by the late Queen. The organisers tried to get Elton for the Coronation concert only a month ago but schedules clashed.
And if Elton had a problem with the British media about hacking and decided to sue, along with Harry, what has that to do with King Charles? Anyone would think that Charles was a great champion and promoter of the British tabloids. On the contrary. He can?t stand them or various commentators and on occasion has said so. You think Charles loved his sons being hacked by newspaper reporters and private eyes? Lol!
As for David, he and Elton said they would help and advise with the Pearl series. He didn?t say this while the Sussexes were working royals but long afterwards, when Meghan and Harry were in California. And formulating an idea while you are a royal is not the same as signing contracts for it.
In other words I very much doubt that either Elton or his husband are on the outs with the King or Queen. If there are any concerts going Elton will be there, health permitting of course. And as most of the people at these royal concerts and events are between 70 and God, both audience and performers, he?ll fit right in!
June 2023 events have changed it forever. IMO.

Well, we shall see won?t we. Either way I doubt very much that either Sir Elton nor his husband David will be weeping and wailing and pulling their hair out. They have a large circle of friends and enough wealth and prestige anyway without hanging around Charles and Camilla to build up their self worth or profiles. More likely to be the other way round. Charles likes hanging around with actors and other showbiz types and always has.
I don't care for them, I only want the BRF to carry on, they don't need to 'freely' and purportedly seek people who publicly and clearly are working against the monarchy, the firm, any senior working royal (or not). It it part and parcel of the Constitutional Monarchy, HM Government, etc.
Could you imagine IF the couple hadn't Megxited, and Pearl not cancelled, the huge public uproar that the Duchess was making personal deals for her gain, not for charity.
The thing with Harry's lawsuits, is he via his lawyers have already said to the British Media that H only has to pay 10% of the expenses, cost, admin of government workers (court, judge, etc). This reflects badly on H but more importantly on his family, enter Charles, IMO and 99% sure will have to pick up the pieces. H said that Elton presented him, told him, Leveson, meet the lawyer.
What is there not to understand.
By the time David Furnish said anything at all about Pearl the Sussexes were in California and weren?t going back to the monarchy. Of course Meghan wouldn?t have produced Pearl if she had still been a working royal. As I said, the Sussexes were in California when Pearl was mooted as a project to Netflix. David Furnish thought it was a good idea and as a friend wanted to help the Sussexes in their new life.
Harry and Elton are friends, and allies in this hacking lawsuit. That is in no way attacking HM Govt or the BRF or anything or anybody else. It the two of them and any other plaintiff believes they have a case against people who were about to attempt to let loose private info, destroy their reputations or relationships in any way then they have every right to sue newspaper groups, whoever they are!
WSJ says they were working on Pearl while Meghan was still a senior working royal, many months before Megxit.
An article with that type of conclusion tells a story of its own.
^ It's no wonder the couple were requesting a Half In Halt Out scheme.
****
It is not the case of winning or losing, it's the fact that H lawyers to the BM that IF H loses, he will only have to and will pay only 10%. H didn't enter before according to his words because his father told him it is a suicide mission. Elton convinced him otherwise.
Yes they were working on Pearl as a project while Meghan was a working royal. I have not said otherwise. We don?t know, nobody does, what format that would have taken. And certainly she wasn?t signing contracts with Netflix or anyone else while she was a working royal. David Furnish mentioned nothing about Pearl until after the Sussexes had signed with Netflix. He wanted to help as a friend.
As for Harry and the hacking suit, so he changed his mind about joining in the battle against the media he loathes after discussions with Elton. So what! Many of us change our minds about certain things after discussions with friends. And I very much doubt he needed a lot of persuasion. It was a class action after all.
He already lost vs the home office paid 10 percent leaving half a million to the Tax payers
And that is just one vs home office
His fans should pay it
If you still do not get it rich man finding loopholes to pay his minimum leaving 🇬🇧 citizens to foot his bill I cannot further explain
He does not live there and yet he has a bunch of cases there
So out of 10 million in cases he pays 10 and 🇬🇧 citizens pay the other 90 percent of the total costs
Effectively making him more unpopular than Andrew and a pariah to his home birth country and staining his father who is the king of the constitutional monarch hence Charles giving profit moneys left and right other than the obvious goid he wants to do
I am on iPhone 📱
Pardon the lack of punctuation etcetera
You are jumping from one thing to another. The hacking case has multiple plaintiffs and is a civil suit. Tax payers are not involved.
With the case of Harry?s security, he wished to reverse a decision made by a Govt Dept and a sub committee within it. The Home Office is a Govt Dept that is certainly not averse to spending and wasting tax payers money on its own account and I would be very surprised if any civil servants there were anguished at the thought of such things.
I don?t know how you are supposed to sue a Govt department for any injustices you believe to have been done to you in any case without taxpayers becoming involved. Tell the civil servants and the men in grey of RAVEC to pay for their own Court costs? Now there?s an idea!
And Harry is not more unpopular than Andrew, is still a British citizen and as such (and even if he isn?t) he is allowed to sue in British courts. He?s not staining anyone.
It doesn't matter what type of case it is, there is a loophole H lawyers are using, he only has to pay 10% of court fees.
In case one is wondering what is that loophole in the Official website UK GOV internal source: Justice System, is Harry does not earn income in the United Kingdom, hence he only has to pay 10% of court fees. The tax payer pays 90%.
Usually stats in the UK Gov indicate lower class paying this scheme, minimum salary; domestic workers, hence my previous comment of rich man. What not to understand, King Charles, Constitutional Monarchy, the UK Citizens, etc.
Duke of Westminster and Olivia Henson's wedding details announced:
The marriage of the Duke of Westminster and Miss Olivia Grace Henson is to take place on 7 June, 2024, at Chester Cathedral.
It is expected that senior members of the Royal Family will be present at the nuptials. The young duke is a fourth cousin once removed of the King. They both have Romanov blood, the duke via his mother Natalia, and the King via the late Prince Philip's Romanov descent.
A spokesperson for the Duke and Miss Henson said: "The couple have chosen the cathedral for both its beauty and long association with the Grosvenor family, including to the Duke personally. Cheshire is the Grosvenor family's ancestral home and as Miss Henson's connection to the region continues to grow, they are keen to plan their wedding there."
The duke's parents, the 6th Duke and Natalia Phillips married at Chester Cathedral, 7 October, 1978, and the Royal Family were there to celebrate the union of one of Britain's wealthiest men and Natalia, daughter of one of Queen Elizabeth II's great friends, the former Georgina Wernher.
The duke's aunt, Lady Leonora Grosvenor, married the late 5th Earl of Lichfield at the cathedral, 8 March, 1975, and another aunt, Lady Jane Grosvenor married the 10th Duke of Roxburghe there, 10 September, 1977.
"The Duke and Miss Henson became engaged at Eaton Hall in April and have been incredibly grateful for the warm messages of congratulations they have received since then."
One of Britain's wealthiest men, certainly our richest duke, 32, is godfather to Prince George of Wales, and a close confidante of the Prince and Princess of Wales. He was born 29 January, 1991, the only son of the 6th duke (1951-2016). --
Personally I think Prince George will be a page boy. The Duke of Westminster is his Godfather.

Prince George?s godfather, the Duke of Westminster, joins Prince William's crusade to end homelessness.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F5Zyg-9WsAAP3aM?format=jpg&name=small)
Good on the Duke of Westminster for the pledge of over 750 homes throughout England that will actually assist the homeless and those in danger of becoming so, rather than just talking about it. This is a substantial programme under the Duke?s own banner and even though it will take a decade that accommodation will help enormously. Pity more British billionaires who own properties and land don?t do the same.
