  • Hugh Grosvenor has long been considered ‘the most eligible bachelor in England’ for his wealth and ties to the royal family – he’s godfather to Prince William and Harry’s sons, for starters
  • However, less is known about the Duke of Westminster’s new wife Olivia Henson, who he marries on June 7, in Chester Cathedral to great fanfare – here’s what you need to know

The “biggest royal wedding of the year” takes place today, on June 7. Hugh Grosvenor, the seventh Duke of Westminster, is tying the knot with Olivia Henson.

Grosvenor has long been considered “the most eligible bachelor in England” for his aristocratic ties and astronomical wealth, being the richest millennial in the UK. He’s also closely linked with the British royal family: King Charles is his godfather and William and Kate’s son George – the future king of England – and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie, are both his godsons.

While we now know plenty about the wealthy Duke of Westminster, less is known about his new wife, Olivia Henson, who has remained under the radar over the years.

What does Olivia Henson do for work?

 
According to Hello!, as a child, Henson was enrolled at the prestigious Dragon School in Oxford, and went on to attend Marlborough College, where Princess Eugenie also went. She later took Hispanic studies and Italian at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, per the magazine. The same article adds that she currently works as a senior account manager for Belazu, a high-end food ingredient importer.
