The world’s most eligible bachelor is officially off the market after getting married in the society wedding of the year.

Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster has officially married Olivia Henson at Chester Cathedral with Prince William in attendance.

The billionaire, known as Hughie to his friends, is the richest man under 40 in Britain with an estimated worth of £10.42 billion.

He is also the godfather to Prince George and Prince Archie.

Although Prince William is an usher at the wedding, Prince Harry has remained home in California.

Princess Eugenie is among one of the guests, with coachloads of people arriving at the venue shortly before 11am today.

After the ceremony finishes at 1pm, guests will be enjoing a lavish reception at the Grosvenor family seat, Eaton Hall.

Royal fans have been waiting outside the venue to try and catch a glimpse of the bride, groom and illustrious guests.

Miss Henson arrived at the Cathedral in a vintage 1930 8-litre Bentley.

The Duke has paid for free ice cream, gelato and sorbet from local Cheshire shops so residents can also enjoy the celebration.

There is also a heavy security presence at the event, with sniffer dogs seen checking drains for any traces of explosives.

Detectives and local officers were also seen chatting outside the Cathedral this week.
