The Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, and his wife, Cosima, have welcomed their first child, adding a new heir to the prestigious Grosvenor family fortune. The couple, who married in a lavish ceremony last year, are said to be "delighted" with the arrival of their baby.
Hugh Grosvenor, 33, inherited his title and vast estate at the age of 25 following the death of his father, Gerald Grosvenor, the 6th Duke of Westminster. The Grosvenor family owns vast swathes of prime real estate across London, including Mayfair and Belgravia, making them one of the wealthiest dynasties in the UK.
A New Chapter for the Grosvenor Dynasty
The birth of their child ensures the continuation of the Grosvenor lineage, which dates back centuries. The family’s wealth, estimated at over £10 billion, is managed through the Grosvenor Group, a property empire with global investments.
Cosima, a successful interior designer, has been a supportive partner to the Duke, often seen at high-profile events and charity functions. The couple’s wedding last year was attended by royalty and celebrities, including Prince William, who serves as godfather to Hugh.
Public and Private Life
Despite their immense wealth, the Duke and Duchess have maintained a relatively low profile, focusing on philanthropy and family. Hugh is known for his charitable work, particularly in youth and mental health initiatives.
The couple’s decision to raise their child away from the media spotlight reflects their desire for privacy, though the public remains fascinated by the aristocratic family’s legacy.
