Baby Bliss for King Charles’ Godson Hugh Grosvenor and Wife Olivia
In delightful news that has many royal watchers buzzing, Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster and a close confidant of King Charles III, recently announced he and his wife, Olivia Grosvenor, are expecting their first child. The joyous revelation was made on March 12, with a spokesperson confirming that the duchess is set to welcome their baby in the summer. “The couple are delighted with the news and are very much looking forward to starting a family together,” the spokesperson declared, echoing sentiments of happiness and anticipation.
This announcement comes just nine months after their opulent wedding at Chester Cathedral, where they celebrated with 400 guests. It’s worth noting that the wedding had its share of royal drama, with the Prince of Wales stepping in as an usher while the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Cambridge were notably absent due to their ongoing health battles. Such is the life of modern royalty—grand celebrations intertwined with personal struggles.
Hugh Grosvenor, who inherited his title after his father’s untimely passing in 2016, has a colorful royal pedigree himself. Notably, he serves as the godfather to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Archie, as well as to Prince William’s son, George. It seems that the Grosvenor family is adding another little royal to the mix, further entrenching their ties to the British monarchy.
Reflecting on their wedding preparations, Hugh had expressed his gratitude for the support they received, stating, “I’m unbelievably excited… and I do realize that it’s going to be a big thing for the city.” His wife Olivia echoed his sentiments about their transition from London to Chester, where they aim to plant roots and build their lives together. This upcoming addition to their family signifies not just a personal milestone but also a new chapter in the storied legacy of the Grosvenor family.
Meanwhile, the royal world has seen its share of other poignant moments recently, such as the tragic loss of Prince Frederik of Luxembourg at just 22 years old and Prince Harry’s legal victories against tabloids that sought to exploit his family’s private lives. As the Grosvenors prepare to welcome their new bundle of joy, the royal family continues to grapple with the complexities of public scrutiny and personal heartbreaks.
