The Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, who’s the richest man in Britain under forty, is marrying his long-term girlfriend Olivia Henson this Friday, in what’s being called the ‘society wedding of the year’.

The 33-year-old owns 300 acres of London with a cool £10.42 billion under his belt, and he also has links to the royal family; he’s godfather to both Prince William’s son, George and Harry’s son Archie.

The wedding is being held at Eaton Hall, a mock French chateau set in 10,872 acres of Cheshire.

Journalist Alice Cockerell tells The Standard podcast what to expect from the wedding, which celebrities and royals are likely to attend, and whether the occasion could see the reunion of Princes William and Harry.

In part two of this episode, our Arts Correspondent Robert Dex discusses Baby Reindeer’s success at the Gotham TV Awards, and considers whether the Netflix drama will go on to win more prizes.
