It's set to be one of the biggest society weddings of the year and according to reports, invitations have been sent out to lucky guests for the Duke of Westminster's upcoming nuptials.
Hugh Grosvenor, the 7th Duke of Westminster, will marry his long-term girlfriend Olivia Henson on 7 June at Chester Cathedral.
According to The Daily Mail's Ephraim Hardcastle, their wedding guests will soon receive their invites, with the Prince and Princess of Wales expected to be among the attendees.
There's a possibility that Prince William and Kate's children may have a starring role in the wedding, given that Hugh is Prince George's godfather.
The Duke is also close friends with the Duke of Sussex, but there have been conflicting reports about whether Prince Harry, who now resides in Montecito, California, will fly over for the wedding given that his daughter Princess Lilibet's third birthday is on the same date.
Hugh, 33, is the third child and only son of the late Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster and his wife, Natalia. He grew up at the family's ancestral seat, Eaton Hall in Cheshire, along with his three sisters, Lady Tamara, Lady Edwina and Lady Viola. King Charles was named as one of Hugh's godparents at his baptism.
