Lady Marina Windsor married Nico Macauley in a private ceremony at a country estate in Berkshire on Saturday, marking the second royal wedding of the year. The Duke of Kent's granddaughter tied the knot in an intimate affair attended by family and friends, including Princess Alexandra's granddaughter Flora Vesterberg (née Ogilvy) and her husband Timothy, as well as Lady Gabriella Kingston, who made a rare appearance after attending Royal Ascot earlier this week.
Bride's Attire and Family Heirlooms
Lady Marina wore a custom-made white wedding gown by designer Larissa Von Planta, paired with a veil made of antique Habsburg lace, according to Hello! magazine. For her special day, she adorned a family heirloom tiara that once belonged to her great-grandmother, Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, who had inherited it from her mother-in-law, Queen Mary.
Ceremony and Reception Locations
The main wedding ceremony took place at All Saints Church in Hovingham, followed by a reception hosted at the family home of Lady Marina's grandmother, the late Duchess of Kent, in North Yorkshire. Her father, George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, and mother, Canadian academic Sylvana Tomaselli, were reportedly filled with emotion as they watched the ceremony.
Guest Appearances and Social Media
Flora Vesterberg shared snaps from the happy day on her Instagram account, including photos of Lady Gabriella Kingston, who looked stunning in a light blue dress paired with a matching headband. Flora herself is pregnant, as seen in the photos.
Background on Lady Marina
Born on September 30, 1992, at the Rosie Hospital in Cambridge, Lady Marina was given the full name Lady Marina Charlotte Alexandra Katharine Helen Windsor. Until 2008, she was 25th in line to the throne, but she forfeited her place after converting to the Roman Catholic Church along with her elder brother. Her younger sister, Lady Amelia, has not converted and remains in the line of succession.
