In what has been billed as "the high society wedding of the year", Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, is set to tie the knot with his long-term girlfriend Olivia Henson. While the couple keep their lives relatively private, their 'royal' wedding is expected to have a guestlist of 400 - with not one but two heirs to the throne.
Hugh, 33, is one of the country's wealthiest men and owns vast areas of London as well as land and over 1,500 buildings worldwide. He is the 7th Duke of Westminster and also holds titles as a godparent to Prince George and Prince Archie, as he's close with both Prince William and Prince Harry.
His wife-to-be, 30, works as an executive at Belazu, a gourmet food firm - it is unknown if she'll continue to work after marrying Britain’s richest man under 40.
The couple were introduced by mutual friends and dated for two years before getting engaged, and will say their 'I do' at Chester Cathedral today. Ahead of his wedding, Huge spoke about their love for Chester as he said he "wanted to make it very clear how unbelievably helpful people have been, how supportive they've been so far, which I'm unbelievably grateful for because I do realise that it's going to be a big, big thing for the city." But what members of the Royal Family will be in attendance for their big day? Let's take a closer look...
Top of the list is Prince William, one of the Duke's closest friends, who has been confirmed to be attending the "wedding of the year".
The heir to the throne has known the Grosvenor family all of his life and for years was mentored by Hugh's father, Gerald.
Tragically, Gerald passed away in 2016 after suffering from a heart attack at the age of 64 - he was one of King Charles' closest friends.
