Who is Olivia Henson?
In Britain’s aristocratic scene, a new figure has captured everyone’s attention: Olivia Henson. With Kate Middleton’s recent cancer diagnosis temporarily retiring from public life, Henson is emerging as a prominent figure due to her impending marriage to Hugh Grosvenor, the 7th Duke of Westminster and the country’s richest man . This link-up not only promises to be one of the social events of the year, but has also led to inevitable comparisons between Henson and the Princess of Wales.
Olivia Henson: A figure on the rise
Olivia Henson, 31 years old, has been on the lips of all the media. Educated at Marlborough College, a prestigious British boarding school, Henson shares this experience with Kate Middleton, who also studied there. This coincidence in their educational trajectories has been the first point of comparison between them. In addition, both Henson and Middleton grew up in a similar family environment, each with a brother and a sister.
Professionally, Olivia Henson has worked as an account executive at Belazu, a sustainable gastronomy company. Despite her success in this area, Henson has kept a low profile, similar to Kate Middleton before her marriage to Prince William. Also, thanks to her marriage to Hugh Grosvenor, Olivia Henson will become the Duchess of Westminster, a title that will position her at the same level of visibility and responsibility as Middleton as the Duchess of Cambridge.
The marriage that captivates attention
The marriage between Olivia Henson and Hugh Grosvenor has generated a lot of interest. Grosvenor, who inherited a fortune of more than €12 billion at the age of 25, has been equally reserved about his private life. However, his connection to the British Royal Family is undeniable. He is the godfather of Prince George, the future heir to the throne, who ensures the presence of members of royalty at his wedding. The presence of Prince William is expected among the attendees, although without Kate Middleton’s company due to her health.
The absence of Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton’s temporary withdrawal from public life has been the subject of concern and speculation. Since revealing her cancer diagnosis, the Royal House has maintained a strict silence about her condition. For this reason, he will not attend the rehearsal of the Trooping the Color next June 8, an event in which he traditionally reviewed the troops as Colonel of the Irish Guards. However, Middleton is expected to make a public reappearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony on June 15 alongside Windsor.
A ray of hope and continuity
In the middle of this ‘annus horribilis’ for the British royal family, marked by the cancer diagnoses of Kate Middleton, King Charles and Sarah Ferguson, the wedding of Olivia Henson and Hugh Grosvenor represents a ray of hope and continuity. So, while Kate Middleton recovers, attention to Henson grows, cementing her as a key figure in the future of British nobility.
