www.dailymail.co.uk, June 7, 2024
A host of glamorous guests filled the pews at Chester Cathedral for the wedding of Britain's richest man under 40. From Princess Eugenie (1) to Rupert Henson (2) with his wife Natalia Grosvenor (3) and Lady Edwina Snow (4), her husband Dan (6), and their children Zia (8), Orla (5), and Wolf (7).

Why Harry is a no-show at the Duke of Westminster's 'society wedding of the year'... but William will play a star role: Prince made 'civilised agreement' to bow out of old friend's nuptials leaving usher role free for estranged brother

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 4, 2024
Prince Harry has agreed to stay away from the wedding of one of his closest friends for fear of his feud with his brother William overshadowing the event, it is claimed. A phone call from Hugh Grosvenor, the 7th Duke of Westminster, saw the Duke of Sussex invited to his nuptials with fiancee Olivia Henson at Chester Cathedral on Friday. The event is set to be the high society wedding of the year, and there had been much speculation as to which of Harry and William would receive an invitation given the brothers' ongoing estrangement. However, it has been claimed that Harry will not be there after the California-based royal reached a 'civilised understanding' with Hugh to bow out of attending, The Times reports. It means that William is free to be an usher for Hugh, who has been friends with the pair since childhood, avoiding the potentially awkward situation of having to show Harry to his seat during the ceremony.

Britain's most eligible bachelor gets married: William is an usher, Harry is nowhere to be seen and the groom is godfather to both Archie and Prince George. RICHARD KAY reveals all

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 1, 2024
He is the catch of the year, probably the decade. Tall, handsome, intelligent and loyal, with warm eyes that hide a natural reserve. All this would be enough for most women, but there is more: Hugh Grosvenor, 33, the 7th Duke of Westminster, is also extremely wealthy. So the marriage next week of the country's most eligible bachelor to 31-year-old banker's daughter Olivia Henson is unsurprisingly the subject of considerable curiosity - and outright envy. For not only will the slim brunette, who most recently has been working as an accounts manager for a sustainable food enterprise, be instantly elevated to the upper ranks of the aristocracy with the title of duchess, she will also be marrying into a family fortune of £10billion, which places her husband as Britain's richest man under the age of 40.

Emma Hayes helped transform women's football in this country... but after her exit from Chelsea, it has to move on without her, writes KATHRYN BATTE

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 20, 2024
KATHRYN BATTE: For the last 12 years Emma Hayes has been the face of women's football in this country. She has driven the game forward, pushed for higher standards, better facilities and more coverage. Being the unofficial spokesperson for women's football was not part of Hayes' contract when she joined Chelsea in 2012. But it is a role she has performed and a burden she has carried largely on her own. Unlike Premier League managers who may also face difficult questions not related to matches or football, there are multiple people with big profiles to carry the load.
