Hugh Grosvenor has said “yes”: This is his wife, the new Duchess of Westminster
Olivia Henson is the new Duchess of Westminster! She has been dating Hugh Grosvenor for three years; according to British media reports, the couple met through mutual friends. On April 23, 2023, Henson and Grosvenor announced their engagement. Until then, they kept their relationship secret.
In the statement, Prince William’s friend revealed that he had asked for Olivia’s hand in marriage at Eaton Hall, his family’s country estate in the English county of Cheshire. The perfect setting for a romantic marriage proposal.
Olivia doesn’t focus on online presence – but on her career
Neither Hugh Grosvenor nor Olivia Henson are represented on social media. Both lead very secluded lives. What is known, however, is that according to the Telegraph, Olivia is descended from the Hoare banking family as well as the Marquesses of Bristol and the Dukes of Rutland.
Like Catherine, Princess of Wales, the current Duchess of Westminster graduated from Marlborough College in Wiltshire and then focused on her career.
Olivia studied Spanish and Italian at the prestigious Trinity College in Dublin. Today, Henson works as a senior account manager for Belazu, a B Corp certified food company based in London that has been recognized for its social and environmental impact and imports high-quality ingredients from across Europe. Olivia Henson has her feet firmly on the ground. A fact that would certainly impress one of the richest men in Britain.
