A billionaire millennial duke got married in a lavish ceremony with royal guests. Here are the old-money details you might have missed.

  • Hugh Grosvenor married Olivia Henson at Chester Cathedral.
  • Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster, is a billionaire with strong royal family ties.

Hugh Grosvenor, one of the UK's richest men, married his partner Olivia Henson at a lavish, old-money ceremony attended by members of the royal family.

Grosvenor —known by his title Duke of Westminster — and Henson tied the knot at Chester Cathedral on Friday, followed by a reception at Eaton Hall, the family's 11-acre estate.

Though he tends to keep a low profile, the duke, 33, is well known for his royal connections. He is godson to King Charles and close friends with Prince William, who was an usher at the ceremony, according to multiple reports.

The Grosvenor family is known for its extensive real-estate portfolio that spans 340 years. Today the family is worth around $12.6 billion, according to an estimate published by The Sunday Times Rich List.

Henson, 31, has royal connections of her own. She attended Marlborough College, the private school Kate Middleton attended before meeting Prince William. Henson was classmates with William's cousin, Princess Eugenie who also attended the school, according to The Telegraph.

These days, Henson is an entrepreneur, having launched a honey business from Eaton Hall earlier this year, The Sunday Times reported. And according to Tatler, she most recently worked as a senior account manager at the sustainable food company Belazu.

The Grosvenor's old-money status was notable in every wedding detail, from the bride and groom's attire to the A-list guests.

Representatives for the Grosvenor family did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
