Hugh, 34, and Olivia, 32, were married in June 2024 in an event touted as the British high-society wedding of the year. Prince William acted as an usher for the ceremony at Chester Cathedral in northern England, repeating a role he conducted at the same church when Edward and Tamara married in 2004.
Prince Harry was also invited to Hugh and Olivia’s wedding but did not attend. A source told the PEOPLE at the time that the Duke of Sussex’s absence from the nuptials was an “understanding between the two friends.”

Hugh was considered one of Britain’s most eligible bachelors before he popped the question, inheriting his dukedom at age 25 when his father died in 2016.
The family’s Grosvenor Group holds a premier portfolio of international real estate, and Hugh has an estimated net worth of $13.4 billion. If the couple’s baby on the way is a boy, the child is expected to inherit this fortune one day.
