EXCLUSIVE Revealed: Glamorous Oxfordshire countryside venue where Apple heiress Eve Jobs will marry Team GB equestrian - as their VERY glitzy guestlist is leaked
And now, MailOnline can reveal that Apple founder Steve Jobs' youngest daughter and her Team GB star fiancé will tie the knot at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds on Saturday - the cherry on the cake for the fantastically star-studded ceremony.
The glamorous private members club is beloved by A-list celebrities - even hosting Meghan Markle 's hen do - as the place to go for private events for the social elite, all with the background of Britain's finest countryside.
Eve, 27, who once was named by society bible Tatler as one of its 'new generation of It Girls', and sportsman Harry, 26, got engaged last September and began dating in 2022, making their debut just a year ago at the Paris Olympic Games.
Their extravagant nuptials - rumoured to come at a hefty price tag of £5million - will take place over four days, starting on Wednesday - almost exactly one month after Eve jetted to the Italian isle of Capri for a glitzy hen do.
And on the guestlist, as revealed by The Sun, are a mixture of British sports stars, American politicians and even a sprinkling of royalty.
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris is tipped to be among the VIP guests, with Sir Elton John reportedly set to be performing - for a rumoured fee of £1million - and even Princess Beatrice expected to attend.
Eve's mother Laurene, left a widow following Jobs' passing in 2011 aged 56 from pancreatic cancer, is said to have gone 'all out' for the wedding with help from renowned society events planner Stanlee Gatti.
According to the newspaper, A-list parties are set to fly to Oxford airport on their private jets, where they will be met by helicopters to transport them to the venue.
Also making the VIP guestlist are Kamala's daughter Phoebe and Bill Gates's daughter Jennifer, according to the newspaper.
They will be joined by celebs including Arctic Monkeys star Matt Helders, Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica - an equestrian, Apple designer Jony Ive, Sofia Abramovich, daughter of ex-Chelsea owner Roman.
And it's not just Kamala set to make an impression from the politics scene in the US - as a source told the paper that 'a lot of important American political figures' will be present.
Sources close to the family previously said invites have gone out to figures from fashion, sport, and business, with speculation that Princess Beatrice and Jennifer Gates may be among the attendees.
Eve, a model and show jumper in her own right, has two older siblings and one half-sibling. Reed Jobs, 33, and Erin Jobs, 29, will likely be at the wedding. However it's currently not known if her half sibling Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47, will attend.
Aside from her siblings, Eve has a plethora of high-profile friends descended from other tech billionaires, who will likely see her walk down the aisle.
She is also friends with Lilli Hymowitz, daughter of billionaire Gregg Hymowitz, the CEO and founder of investment firm EnTrust Global.
In 2023, Eve was spotted mingling amongst high society's wealthiest members at a gala in New York City, including Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife Wendi Deng, who she struck a pose with for photos, and Lili Buffett, the granddaughter of billionaire investor and philanthropist Warren Buffet.
Former US vice president Kamala Harris is also expected to attend the event thanks to her long-time friendship with Eve's mother and one of the richest people in the world, Laurene Powell Jobs.
Laurene and Kamala have been friends for more than 20 years, with the billionaire philanthropist backing Kamala's run for US presidency last year, which she eventually lost to President Donald Trump.
And while Eve is tech royalty, there may even be real royalty at her and Harry's wedding. According to Tatler, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are expected to attend too.
On top of Eve's impressive connections, Harry has his own entourage who will surely bring the party. His father is Peter Charles, whose team won Britain's first team jumping gold medal for 60 years at the 2012 London Summer Olympics.
His Olympic teammates Scott Brash and Ben Maher may also attend, having claimed victory in team jumping together at the Paris Olympics.
Eve also frequently appears on front row seats at Paris Fashion Week, attended her first Met Gala in 2022, and is regularly seen at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party wearing designers such as Molly Goddard and vintage Donna Karan.
A source told The Sun: 'Eve and Harry's wedding is like a multi-million-pound fairytale.
'It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down.
'The sleepy village in which it's taking place feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI.'
The ceremony will be held in the star-studded Cotswolds, where celebrities including the Beckhams have flocked in recent years.
The entire neighbouring village in Oxfordshire is expected to go on lockdown, with huge trucks already bringing supplies through the sleepy and picturesque villages.
Most recently Ellen DeGeneres has succumbed to the charm of the Cotswolds after leaving the US when Donald Trump was reelected as president.
Soho Farmhouse meanwhile has been described as a Butlins for toffs and attracts some of the most famous faces in Britain.
Much more than a country bolthole, the stylish location is set within 100 acres and features manmade lakes and Scandi-style cabins.
It has a festival feel in places - a playground for grown-ups filled with table tennis and pool, not to mention fire pits where people congregate wrapped in luxurious blankets.
To allow its clientele to relax, photos are not allowed - not even of the spectacular indoor-outdoor pool, which resembles a private lake.
There are surfboard yoga sessions in the swimming pool, a Japanese grill house serving seared raw fish salads and soft-shell crabs, a lifestyle shop that sells £290 boots and a bar that stays open until the last customer leaves - and on at least one occasion that person was Prince Harry.
The estate, complete with man-made lakes, stables and an ironically ironic crazy golf course, sits within the Cotswolds' golden triangle: a sought-after area between Chipping Norton, Burford and Stow that is home to the so-called Chipping Norton set of celebrities and politicians.
David and Samantha Cameron went to the Farmhouse opening party in 2015, drinking cocktails and dancing around the fire pits to crooner Paolo Nutini.
Eve and Harry meanwhile were first spotted in public together at last year's Olympic Games in Paris - where Harry bagged a gold medal in team jumping.
The pair have kept their relationship largely private, but their shared love for equestrian sports is likely what brought them together.
Eve, whose mother is the philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, is a rising star in both equestrian sport and fashion.
She has appeared in campaigns for Louis Vuitton and posed for Vogue while maintaining a competitive showjumping career.
Harry, son of former Olympic showjumper Peter Charles, has represented Great Britain internationally and is currently one of the sport's top-ranked athletes.
The couple share a passion for horses and are frequently seen supporting each other at events.
Eve, a self-described 'horse girl', started riding when she was just six years old and had made some considerable achievements, including winning a bronze medal in the team event at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.
She was front and centre to watch Harry win his gold medal last year and shared a loving post on Instagram with the caption: 'TEAM GOLD!!!!!! Beyond proud of you my love!!!!'
She made her modelling debut in a 2020 holiday campaign for makeup brand Glossier alongside Sydney Sweeney and Naomi Smalls. Eve is signed to DNA Model Management, who also represents Kaia Gerber and Emily Ratajkowski.
Eve also frequently appears on front row seats at Paris Fashion Week, attended her first Met Gala in 2022, and is regularly seen at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party wearing designers such as Molly Goddard and vintage Donna Karan.
She may even go in another direction entirely and pay tribute to her late father, who died in 2011 when she was just 12 years old, and wear something from his favourite designer, Issey Miyake.
The iconic Japanese designer, who died in 2022 at the age of 84, was behind Steve's iconic black turtleneck uniform that 'helped make him the world's most recognisable CEO', according to Gawker.
However, neither Eve nor Harry have divulged any details on what their wedding looks will entail at the time of reporting.
Eve was previously linked to Mexican show jumper and University of Miami business student Eugenio Garza Pérez, according to the Latin Times.
There were also rumors that she dated singer Harry Hudson, Chainsmokers member Drew Taggart, and Outer Banks star Chase Stokes.
Steve Jobs died in 2011 from pancreatic cancer, and according to his official biographer, Walter Isaacson, Jobs didn't doubt that it would be his youngest daughter who would run Apple in the future.
In his biography about Steve, writer Walter Isaacson described the youngest Jobs as a 'strong-willed, funny firecracker.'
He said that as a child, Eve would often call up her father's assistant and make her clear out his calendar so that they could spend one-on-one father-daughter time together.
The family grew up in a 'low-key Tudor-style house on a prosperous street' in Palo Alto, California, according to U2 front man Bono.
He wrote in his memoir that the abode had a 'cottage garden full of wildflowers and stuff you could eat, with a gate opening yards from a front door he never locked.'
The LA Times reported that the 5,768-square-foot seven-bedroom home was built in the 1930s and looked like it was 'plucked from an English village.'
It's been said that the billionaire Apple founder did his best to give his children a normal upbringing, despite his immense wealth.
The outlet reported that he had 'no live-in help, no security guards, no drivers.'
He also once revealed that he limited his kids' technology use - even though he created one of the most successful tech companies on the planet.
He told the New York Times when a reporter asked if his kids 'loved' the new iPad, 'They haven't used it. We limit how much technology our kids use at home.'
Steve passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2011, when Eve was 12, and was worth an estimated $10.5billion at the time of his death.
But Eve and her siblings won't get any of his money, as he left his immense wealth to wife Laurene who revealed in 2020 that she has no plans to give any of it to their kids.
She told the New York Times that her husband made it clear before his death that he didn't want to pass his earnings down to their kids because he wanted them to work for their own money.
'I inherited my wealth from my husband, who didn't care about the accumulation of wealth,' she said.
'I'm not interested in legacy wealth building, and my children know that... Steve wasn't interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me.'
Like both of her parents, Eve graduated from Stanford University in 2021, where she majored in science, technology, and society.
She then made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week while walking in the Coperni show that September.
'I never foresaw modeling, and on a whim, I was like, "Why not?" It drew upon things I knew, igniting the part of me that competing always did,' she previously told Vanity Fair.
She was signed to DNA Model Management in March 2022 - the same agency that looks after Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber, Dutch model and actress Doutzen Kroes and Girl star Emily Ratajkowski.
Besides her modeling career, Eve is also an experienced equestrian and was named Show Jumping Hall of Fame 'Rider of the Month' in March 2017.
She has competed in show jumping competitions all around the globe, including events in the Hamptons, Lexington, Kentucky, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and was ranked as the fifth best rider under 25 in the world by Horse Sports in 2019.
Despite posting infrequently, Eve has 408,000 followers on Instagram.
Last month, as she jetted off to Capri for her hen do, Eve wore a sparkling white mini dress and veil as she joined a group of girlfriends for the sun-soaked weekend, which included yacht trips, late-night parties, and poolside lounging at a private villa overlooking the sea.
In one photo posted to her Instagram account, Eve is seen sitting in a pink-seated buggy with a wide smile as she revels in her pre-wedding antics.
'What a weekend with my favorite girls,' she captioned the post.
Among those who liked the photos were Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and Olympic skier Eileen Gu - who are expected to make her esteemed wedding guest list.
Guests included a mix of friends from the fashion and equestrian worlds, many of whom appeared in coordinated outfits for both daytime antics and evening celebrations.
One image shows the group walking down the steps of a local ristorante, dressed in relaxed resortwear.
Another showed them strutting through the cobbled streets of Capri at night, with Eve leading the way in her veil and glittering white dress.
The party gathered by the Tyrrhenian Sea at sunset, where Eve posed for photos with a group of close friends, including one shot of her wrapped in the arms of Eden Mack, a creative development assistant at Apple TV+, against a backdrop of dark blue sea and cliffs.
At the villa, decorative touches included pink inflatable pool loungers and a floating silver sign reading 'BRIDE' tied with string.

Ozzy Osbourne's Black Sabbath bassist recalls final gig and admits the late rocker was 'frail' and 'needed assistance' during rehearsals
's bassist has recalled Black Sabbath's final gig and admits the late rocker 'needed assistance' during rehearsals. The beloved musician, famously known as the Prince of Darkness, died on Tuesday at the age of 76 - just weeks after performing his final show with the band. Ozzy was reportedly warned by insurers that they wouldn't cover the concert if he insisted on standing to bid farewell to his devoted fans. But his wife Sharon managed to sort something with providers to ensure his last concert went ahead. Despite Ozzy not being in the best state of health, Black Sabbath continued to rehearse and after a few weeks they were ready to greet their adoring fans and give them a show to remember. Bandmate Geezer Butler has since spoken out about his passing, revealing how Ozzy was in his final moments. He told The Times: 'I knew he wasn't in good health, but I wasn't prepared to see how frail he was. 'He was helped into the rehearsal room by two helpers and a nurse and was using a cane - being Ozzy, the cane was black and studded with gold and precious stones.' Geezer went on to share the one thing he wished he had done before he passed. He added: 'I wish I'd had more time backstage with Ozzy, but wishes are redundant now. As Ozzy used to say: "Wish in one hand and s**t in the other and see which comes first."' Ozzy took to the stage for his farewell concert at Villa Park Stadium in his native Birmingham less than three weeks before his death. The rocker reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005 to bid an emotional farewell to his decades of performing live on stage. After selling out in minutes, over 42,000 fans packed into Villa Park for the aptly-titled Back to the Beginning show, which saw Ozzy and Black Sabbath return to their hometown - 56 years after they formed there. Geezer said it was a 'privilege' to have spent the past 56 years of friendship with Ozzy and it's been 'one hell of a ride'. His final words on stage were: 'It's the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.' A message on screen then read: 'Thank you for everything, you guys are f***ing amazing. Birmingham Forever,' before the sky lit up with fireworks. On Wednesday, MailOnline revealed that an air ambulance was called to Osbourne's multi-million-pound country home as paramedics battled to save his life. The Thames Valley air ambulance landed in a field close to Welders House, the singer's Grade II listed mansion on Tuesday morning at around 10.30am. It's believed that calls from Welders House had led call handlers to believe that the Black Sabbath singer's life was in the balance.

Iconic British film starring Keira Knightley confirmed for a sequel after 23 years
BEND It Like Beckham has been confirmed for a sequel, more than two decades after it was released. Director Gurinder Chadha revealed she is developing a follow-up to the 2002 hit film, which launched the careers of Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra. The sequel is being lined up for release in 2027 to mark the film's 25th anniversary and coincide with the FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil. Gurinder told the BBC: "We've been part of changing the game for women, so it felt like this was a good time for me to go back and investigate the characters." The director said she has been asked 'almost twice a week' since the original came out to create a sequel, though no decision has been made on whether it will take the form of a film or a television series. She added: 'A lot has changed since the original movie, but I think that people still don't think that women should play football. "There are people who still don't take it seriously, although the Lionesses are riding high. I've left it a while, but I thought: 'Look at the Euros, look at the Lionesses.'" Gurinder said she hopes to reunite the original cast and suggested members of the current England squad would be 'queuing up' to appear in cameo roles. The original film, made on a £3.5 million budget, became a box office success, earning nearly £60 million worldwide. It followed Jess Bhamra (Parminder), a teenager who dreams of playing football professionally, despite pressure from her traditional Sikh family to focus on education and marriage. She is recruited by Jules (Keira), who spots her talent and brings her into the local women's team. Chadha claimed she had not expected the film to take off, but wanted to 'uplift girls who were always being told how to dress and what to say'. Keira Knightley admits she's only watched Love Actually once - and reveals real reason why She said: 'What I did was say you can do what you want, and you can have it all,' she said. 'And I think that's a really great message to put out again. I think there's still stuff to say, and stuff to challenge.' Gurinder previously told The Mirror she had been working on a sequel to iconic movie The filmmaker said in 2023: "For the longest time I never wanted to do a sequel. "But I have to say, after the World Up this year, and also with the Euro's a few years ago, my brain is ticking again and I have an idea in my head that I'm thinking through for the first time. "I'm thinking that I could definitely do something. I never wanted to follow the girls off in America, because I felt that what I had created was so magical for that moment in time. "It's very hard with sequels - there are very few sequels that I think really hit the mark after the success of the first film. "However, I do have an idea and I am starting to work on it, so I think I will definitely do something that shows how brilliant our athletes are right now." The film highlighted the challenges girls face despite women's football growing in popularity since the film was released in 2002. Gurinder was inspired to create the film after seeing a photograph of legendary England and Arsenal striker Ian Wright dressed in a union jack flag. This made her think about what Britishness actually meant and the "evolving concept of Britishness." Football is important to Britain and the sport has the power to pull many different people together. Gary Lineker, who featured in the film, reflected on it saying how "football does unify the nation, everyone gets behind England and it's probably the only time we do all come together. That's what originated the idea of Bend It Like Beckham." There are plenty of fun facts about the film besides Wright being the inspiration. The budget may have been just £3.5 million but it grossed at nearly £60 million. Chada didn't know much about football and relied on co-writers to add the football bits. It was even the first Western filmed to be screened in North Korea at a public broadcast during a film festival in the country. Actresses Nagra and Kiera did three months worth of football training for the film and didn't use any doubles. The title itself is a metaphor as Chada explained back in 2003. She said: "We can see our goal but instead of going straight there, we too have to twist and bend the rules sometimes to get what we want. "No matter where we reside, no matter what group we claim or do not embrace as part of our ethnic lineage." 4 4 4

Cooking shows get the chop as controversies leave a bitter taste
For years they have been the toast of television: mouth-wateringly wholesome fun, cheap to make and often a sure-fire ratings hit. But new data, coupled with a string of high-profile controversies, suggest cookery shows are starting to leave a bitter taste with producers as the number of food and drink programmes commissioned by major broadcasters begins to plummet. In February, allegations of inappropriate behaviour involving the celebrity TV chef Gino D'Acampo and spanning more than 12 years became public, forcing ITV to drop all forthcoming shows featuring the star. In recent weeks, MasterChef became mired in controversy and, while the future of the show is secure, BBC bosses are hunting for two new presenters after they opted against renewing the contracts of Gregg Wallace and John Torode amid allegations of misconduct. Separately, Nadiya Husain, a BBC cooking stalwart, has criticised the broadcaster after it terminated its long run of 14 shows with her since she won The Great British Bake Off in 2015. 'The BBC has decided that it didn't want to commission the show, and I suppose for me that was a huge turning point because it's something I have done for past ten years,' she said. Now, an analysis of the sector by Broadcast Intelligence, a service offered by the TV industry magazine, has revealed that only 12 shows have been ordered over the first seven months of the year, down from 42 last year and a high of 100 in 2019. Though forthcoming shows being made include Jamie Oliver's Eat Yourself Healthy for Channel 4 and a second serving of Tom Kerridge's Secrets of the Pub Kitchen for Food Network, producers say that the well worn 'chop and chat' format is coming to an end. 'Traditional recipe shows have been 'eaten' by TikTok,' said one producer. Others noted that the number of shows being commissioned by broadcasters is down across the board, with cookery shows a casualty of wider declines, despite the ongoing draw of food programming. 'People are lazy and don't know how to cook but continue to watch them as a form of escapism,' said Steven D Wright, a veteran producer. He said there was a desire among commissioners to 'reinvent' cookery show beyond traditional competitions, how-to shows and food-based travelogues. 'There's a bit of navel-gazing going on at the moment. These shows are bankers for a reason — because audiences like people making delicious food in a lovely setting — but they have changed shape,' he said. 'Do we need any more Mary Berrys or Nigellas doing pieces to camera?' Plans to reinvigorate food programming are, however, under way with ambitious forthcoming food formats include a Michelin-star themed documentary for Apple TV+ and a Harry Potter-inspired format for Warner Bros Discovery. Apple TV's Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars is executive produced by Gordon Ramsay and will follow Jesse Burgess, the co-founder and presenter of social media brand Topjaw. In the eight-part series Burgess will follow the fates of elite chefs at some of the world's most celebrated restaurants to determine if they will win, maintain or lose their precious Michelin star. Warner Bros Discovery's cookery competition Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking has been given a second series, following a debut run that reached more than 16 million viewers globally following its launch in November. The show aired on Amazon Prime in the UK and featured James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley in the films, as they tasked nine teams of pastry chefs and cake artists with crafting edible showpieces inspired by moments and themes from the Potter universe.
