Princess Eugenie stuns in stylish black gown with a daring thigh-high split as she is snapped making her way to the Duke of Westminster and Olivia Henson’s wedding party

Princess Eugenie was photographed yesterday in a daring black dress as she boarded a bus taking guests to the Duke and Duchess of Westminster’s wedding party.

The 34-year-old royal took off the chic green dress she wore while attending the wedding service of Hugh Grosvenor, 33, and Olivia Henson, 31, at Chester Cathedral.

Mother-of-two Eugenie, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, was one of 400 guests at the wedding party which was dubbed the ‘society wedding of the year’.

After the wedding service we saw guests leave the venue in coaches to attend a lavish reception at the Grosvenor family seat, Eaton Hall, just outside Chester. The newlyweds have kept the details of the celebration under wraps, although it has been reported that guests indulged in lemon pie during the party.

Eugenie looked glamorous in a black short sleeve maxi dress with colorful floral embroidery down the front as she headed to the post-wedding event.

She paired the gown with gold high-heeled sandals and a matching gold handbag.

Eugenie, who like the bride attended Marlborough College, wore her auburn locks in a chic part-up style, with some of her locks falling past her shoulders.

The royal – who appeared to attend the event solo, without her husband Jack Brooksbank and their two children August, three, and Ernest, four – completed her ensemble with a classic make-up look.

She opted for a natural matte base and pink lip and emphasized her eyes with black eyeliner and smoky dark eyeshadow.

Her daring party outfit is quite a departure from the olive-colored pleated dress she wore to the cathedral service.

Eugenie combined the green midi dress with a cream-colored fascinator, a dainty necklace and gold earrings.

King Charles’ niece Eugenie wasn’t the only royal at the wedding; the Prince of Wales, 41, was also in attendance.

As part of the groom’s wedding celebration, Prince William was caught carrying out his duties as an usher during the service.

Other high society guests who attended the wedding included Charlie van Straubenzee and his wife Daisy, whose daughter Clover is believed to have Prince Harry as a godfather.

Also present were William Van Cutsem, a long-time friend of Prince William, and another godparent of George, and Charlie van Straubenzee, also a close friend of William and Harry.

And of course it wasn’t just the society guests that thousands of well-wishers gathered outside the cathedral to watch – it was the high-profile couple themselves, the Duke of Westminster Hugh Grosvenor, and his bride Olivia Henson (now the Duchess). .

The Duke (known to friends as ‘Hughie’) proposed to Olivia at his family seat, Eaton Hall in Cheshire, in 2023 after they had been dating for two years.

The aristocrat released a statement on the happy news, saying: ‘The Duke of Westminster and Miss Olivia Henson are delighted to announce that they are engaged.

‘The couple, who have been together for two years, recently got engaged at the Duke family home at Eaton Hall in Cheshire. Members of both their families are absolutely thrilled with the news.

‘Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, is both Chairman of Grosvenor and Chairman of the Westminster Foundation. Miss Henson works for Belazu, a B-Corp certified food company based in London.”

Olivia, 31, who attended Marlborough College and gained degrees in Spanish and Italian from Trinity College Dublin, is said to have left her role at Belazu to focus on her new ‘era’, according to Tatler.

According to the Telegraph, Olivia is descended from the Hoare banking family, the Marquesses of Bristol and the Dukes of Rutland.

The outlet also says that her uncle is the Grand Master of the Scottish Freemasons and that her father is stockbroker Rupert Henson.
