When he marries Miss Henson at Chester Cathedral, Hugh Grosvenor, 33, who was projected to be worth £10.1 billion on the 2024 Sunday Times Rich List, will make her a duchess.
The wedding is being marketed as one of the most prestigious social events of the year, but the pair, who is mostly private, only made their first public appearance together last month.
A witness to the public appearance, who attended the same school as the duke, recalls with nostalgia a special excursion that concluded in a way that would make any child smile.
Who will be Westminster’s Duchess of the future?
When the couple announced their engagement in April 2023, the 31-year-old soon-to-be bride and the duke had been dating for two years.
Like her fiancé, Miss Henson avoids the spotlight most of the time. We do know that she met the duke through common acquaintances and currently works as a senior accounts manager at the London-based ethical food brand Belazu.
According to numerous reports, she attended Marlborough College, the same institution as Pippa Middleton and the Princess of Wales.
“The most eligible bachelor in Britain”
Following his father’s death in 2016 from a heart attack, the duke inherited his title and management of the storied Grosvenor Estate at the age of 25, instantly making him a billionaire.
