Apple heiress Eve Jobs weds Team GB Olympic star in front of high society friends and family in idyllic Cotswolds village - but disappoints locals as blushing bride sneaks into her own nuptials through rear entrance
Apple heiress Eve Jobs has tied the knot with Team GB showjumper Harry Charles in a star-studded ceremony in front of high society friend in the picturesque Cotswolds countryside. The late Apple CEO's wife Laurence Powell Jobs, 61, is said to have splashed out £5million to make the four-day wedding of model daughter Eve, 27, and her gold medalist fiancé Harry, 26, the society wedding of the year. Their nuptial celebrations started on Wednesday - almost exactly one month after Eve jetted to the Italian isle of Capri for a glitzy hen do - and culminated in today's extravagant ceremony. The model and her new husband practically took over the Cotswolds, where the Beckhams, Simon Cowell and Ellen De Generes all have country homes, for the lavish wedding at St Micheal's and All Angels Church in Great Tew. Guests celebrating their wedding wearing elegant dresses and dinner jackets, as a stream of Mercedes limousines and top class Range Rovers, and luxury minibuses dropped off the family and friends of the Apple founder heiress. Bruce Springsteen, Jessica, was among nine bridesmaids who were dressed in startling red satin cocktail gowns, holding posies made of ferns, with groomsmen arriving just before them wearing flowers in their button holes. The blushing bride arrived to the church via a private road, around half an hour late, at 6pm, and around 45 minutes later, she and Harry Charles said 'I do' as wedding balls rang to signify the beginning of their marriage. However locals were left disappointed as they didn't see the bride enter or the newlyweds leave the church hand-in-hand, as they were quickly whizzed away in the back of a Mercedes limousine van to their evening celebrations. One resident told HELLO! it seemed 'quite uncharitable', adding: 'But then I suppose it is their big day and they should be allowed to do what they want.' Sir Elton John is also due to perform at wedding party this evening with rumoured fee of £1million securing the services of the music legend, 78, to play an hour-long set. An impressive floral display was displayed around the vestibule of the church and Eve, the youngest child of Apple genius Steve Jobs, made her way through a garland of beech branches and red roses towards the altar. Britain's unpredictable summer weather threatened to the big day this morning, as a down-pour fell as wedding planners ran for cover as the heavens opened shortly before 10 am as the final, final preparations were being made. Bodyguards and other security agents had barred the public from the 12th century Norman church since this morning while florists and set designers frantically added their last-minute touches. The vicar, Canon William Burke, was seen hurrying across the road from the church to the vicarage with what appeared to be his sermon, ahead of the ceremony. Meanwhile residents of the village of Great Tew carried on with their daily routines – walking their dogs, riding their bicycles and doing their chores despite the wedding celebration about to take place. St Michael's and All Angels Church in Great Tew was a hive of activity in the days leading up to the wedding with up to 20 florists, set designers and security guards flitting around the 12th century structure. Inside the church, roses were placed on the end of each of the pews, beech tree branches line the nave and 101 candles were placed on the alter and two £15,000 Persian rugs run along the aisle. However, despite the huge amount of preparations, the happy couple are understood to have paid the standard £675 fee to be married at the Norman church. The vicar, Canon William Burke, told MailOnline: 'They paid a flat fee for the wedding. We are not allowed to charge more or less.' He added: 'I've done a lot these high society weddings, it's nothing new to me.' Meanwhile bewildered tourists were today seen wandering into the church yard, renowned as one of the most beautiful in the country. Outside the church, thousands of red roses were placed into 5ft-tall balls dotted around the yard. St Michael's is one of the most beautiful venues in the Cotswolds and was the choice when film director Sam Mendes and classical musician Alison Balsom had their 2017 ceremony there. Eve, who once was named by society bible Tatler as one of its 'new generation of It Girls ', and sportsman Harry got engaged last September and began dating in 2022, making their debut just a year ago at the Paris Olympic Games. On Thursday, the couple - joined by their groomsmen and bridesmaids - completed a final dress rehearsal at the church for a 90-minute run through. Guests were seen elegantly dress in long summer dresses and dinner jackets, with crisp white shirts and bow ties Parents of the bride and groom - Eve's mother Laurene and Harry's parents Peter and Tara – arrived in the picturesque village of Great Tew by private limousine. The glamorous bridesmaids and the groomsmen, meanwhile, were bussed to the event in private hire coaches. Upon their arrival, the party were shielded from prying eyes as they entered the church grounds surrounded by orange umbrellas hoisted by private security guards. The wedding party is due to take place at the stunning Estelle Manor country hotel set at Eynsham Hall this evening, where rooms start at £795. The Manor is renowned internationally as venue for huge weddings as its copious grounds can accommodated hundreds of guests - while some guests are believed to be staying at the and the celebrity-famous Soho Farmhouse nearby. Soho Farmhouse is a glamorous private members club is beloved by A-list celebrities - even hosting Meghan Markle's hen do in 2018 - as the place to go for private events for the social elite, all with the background of Britain's finest countryside. And on the guestlist are a mixture of British sports stars, American politicians and even a sprinkling of royalty. Former US Vice President Kamala Harris was pictured at a pre-wedding evening in The Bull pub in Charlbury, which also reportedly included Bruce Springsteen's equestrian daughter, Jessica.

Eve is signed to DNA Model Management, who also represents Kaia Gerber and Emily Ratajkowski. As the youngest daughter of late billionaire Apple mogul Steve Jobs, most would assume that Eve must've grown up without a want or need in the world. 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. 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.' Steve Jobs is pictured with his wife Laurene and children in 2006, including Eve (centre) Steve died from pancreatic cancer aged 56 in 2011, when Eve was 12, and was worth an estimated $10.5 billion at the time of his death.

Steve passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2011, when Eve was 12, and was worth an estimated $10.5 billion 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.' While both Reed and Erin lead relatively private lives out of the spotlight, Eve has opted for the opposite, launching a major modeling career. Like both of her parents, she graduated from Stanford University in 2021, where she majored in science, technology, and society. Both Steve and wife Laurene have made it clear that their children won't inherit their wealth Eve was signed to DNA Model Management in March 2022 - the same agency that looks after Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber She has since posed for a slew of big brands and magazines like Glossier, Louis Vuitton, Vogue, and Vanity Fair She then made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week while walking in the Coperni show that September.

Where Eve will say iDo! Persian rugs, giant floral balls and privacy screens arrive at the 12th Century Cotswolds church where Apple heiress will marry her TeamGB star fiance in the society wedding of the year
The Cotswolds was a hive of activity today ahead of the society wedding of the year as Apple heiress Eve Jobs gets set to wed her TeamGB star fiance. The wedding ceremony of the Apple heiress and model to TeamGB equestrian star Harry Charles will be held at St Michael's and All Angels church in Great Tew on Saturday in what is being billed as the society wedding of the year. Dozens of staff this morning descended on the Norman church to prepare for the £5m wedding. Workmen were seen arriving at the church with Persian rugs, lighting rigs and floral display pieces to transform it into the perfect setting for the summer wedding of the year The Grade I listed church, which dates form 1170, is just half a mile from Soho Farmhouse where many of the guests are believed to be staying. There was a parallel buzz of activity in the grounds of the nearby Estelle Manor country house hotel at Eynsham Hall where the main wedding party is to be held. One worker who was shuttling between venues told us: 'It's all for the Jobs wedding - it's going to be quite a do.' Another said: 'This is a real takeover of the Cotswolds. They're inviting hundreds of people and block booking venues.' St Michael's is one of the most beautiful venues in the Cotswolds and was the choice when film director Sam Mendes and classical musician Alison Balsom had their 2017 ceremony there. A team of set designers were laying £15,000 Persian rugs running up the church aisle from the doors to the chancel - while others were adding temporary upholstery to pews. Lighting rigs and speakers were also being set up. Huge white polystyrene balls, placed all around the church and by the altar, will hold garlands of freshly cut flowers on Saturday morning shortly before the ceremony begins. Wicker fence screens were erected at the entrance to the churchyard last night to shield the bride and groom and their guests from view. Specialist cleaners arrived after lunch today to spruce up the ancient place of worship for the society wedding of the year. The ceremony is expected to be conducted by St Michael's newly appointed vicar, Cannon William Burke, a former infantry officer. Cannon Burke declined to discuss the wedding, but tradesmen involved in the huge operation were more forthcoming. One told MailOnline: 'The wedding ceremony will be here at St Michael's but the main party is being held at Estelle Manor....' The grounds of Estelle Manor, where rooms start at £795, is the scene of major preparations this morning including stages and tents. One local told us: 'There are going to be a lot of VIPs here this weekend.'

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: Glamorous Oxfordshire countryside venue where Apple heiress Eve Jobs will marry Team GB equestrian - as their VERY glitzy guestlist is leaked
With a billionaire heiress as the bride, an Olympic gold medallist for the groom and hordes of A-list guests, the wedding of Eve Jobs and Harry Charles was already set to be the society wedding of the year. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Inside Steve Jobs' daughter's ‘£50m' wedding with rock royalty booked to perform, political A-listers and Kim Kardashian
SHE was the Apple of dad Steve Jobs' eye, so when the tech billionaire's youngest daughter Eve marries her British showjumper boyfriend Harry Charles this weekend, there will be no expense spared. Insiders said her mother Laurene — wife of the iPhone pioneer, who passed away aged 56 in 2011 — has gone all out for the wedding, with Sir Elton John booked to perform. 9 9 9 Kim and Khloe Kardashian are reportedly on the guestlist and an entire village in Oxfordshire will go on lockdown from tomorrow. Whispers have even started about a potential visit from US President Donald Trump, who is in the UK from Friday to visit his Scottish golf courses and hold a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer. A source said: ' Eve and Harry's wedding is like a multi-million-pound fairytale on steroids. '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. ' Kamala Harris, who is close friends with Laurene, is on the guestlist, but the entire village thinks Donald Trump might pop in seeing as he's in the UK.' They added: 'This is a very quiet place not far from the Cotswolds. Everyone is used to tourists and famous faces, but this is something else.' Eve, 27, and Harry, 26, who we revealed got engaged last September, are understood to be planning a decadent, four-day celebration starting tomorrow. They are set to be joined by equestrian Jessica Springsteen — daughter of megastar singer Bruce — Apple designer Jony Ive, and Sofia Abramovich, whose dad Roman used to own Chelsea Football Club. It is understood guests will fly in on their private jets to Oxford airport this week, with helicopters on standby to transport them directly onto the grounds of the house where the couple will marry. Steve Jobs introduces the original iPhone in 2007 'The wedding is being planned like a military operation,' our insider said. 'The itinerary is scheduled so precisely, with guests starting to arrive all this week before the wedding celebrations begin on Thursday. 'Kamala, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Bill Gates ' daughters, Phoebe and Jennifer, are all on the VIP guest list. ' Matt Helders from the Arctic Monkeys has been invited, too. It's an eclectic mix of stars and will be like a 'who's who' of the rich and famous. 'There are a lot of important American political figures going to be there. No doubt they'll all be Googling each other.' Locals revealed that, over the weekend, enormous trucks had started to slowly chug through the sleepy villages surrounding the wedding's top-secret location, before being parked up close to the estate. As well as carrying supplies for the enormous wedding bash — claimed to carry a price tag close to £50million — equipment for star act Elto n is understood to be on site. 'Elton is booked to perform for an hour,' our mole added. 'He will play a selection of his songs, including some of Eve and Harry's favourites. 9 9 'A concert from Elton doesn't come cheap. Apparently they've forked out over £1million to have him perform. " It's going to be incredibly special.' Eve and Laurene didn't plan the behemoth nuptials alone, with events planner to the stars Stanlee Gatti understood to have been drafted in. He was the brains behind American Ivy Getty' s extravagant 2021 wedding to Tobias Engel — where Earth, Wind & Fire performed — and has helped Elton put together his famous Oscars' after-parties over the years. 'Every final detail of the big day has been signed off by Eve and Harry, but this is Stanlee's baby,' our source explained. 'It's the meeting of two soulmates from across the Atlantic and that will be reflected in the wedding, too. 'The vibe is upper class English luxury with a cool, modern American vibe. It's going to be like nothing anyone at the wedding has experienced before.' Eve, the youngest of Apple founder Steve's four children, started dating Olympic gold medallist Harry in 2022. After studying science, technology and society at Stanford University in California, Eve moved into fashion and made her modelling debut in 2021 at Paris Fashion Week, walking for fashion house Coperni alongside stars including Gigi Hadid. 'FUNNY FIRECRACKER' She was later named by society bible Tatler as one of their 'new generation of It Girls' after signing to DNA Model Management. Eve has also appeared as a model in Vogue and Vanity Fair, and worked with big brands including Louis Vuitton. Harry, the son of London 2012 team jumping gold medallist Peter Charles, was raised in Hampshire and followed his father into a career in equestrian sport. He made his Team GB debut at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and also won the team jumping gold at the Paris Games last year — with Eve spotted cheering him on in the stands at the Chateau de Versailles. The pair went public with their romance that day, with Harry later popping the question. Insiders said the pair bonded over their love of horses, with Eve an accomplished rider in her own right. She has competed internationally at Grand Prix level and won a bronze medal at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru while a student at university. That same year, she was ranked fifth out of the world's best 1,000 riders under the age of 25 by Horse Sports. Eve and Harry have rarely spoken about one another publicly, but after picking up his gold in Paris last year, Harry told Tatler he was keen to spend time with the heiress to take in his achievements. When quizzed on what his plans involved, he revealed: 'Go over to the States. Spend some time with my girlfriend, Eve. 'We're just going to sit and enjoy and reflect on it.' 9 9 Last month, Eve flew out to Capri in Italy for a lavish hen party alongside pals including Phoebe Gates and Olympian Eileen Gu. She shared photographs from the getaway with Harry's sister Scarlett, as well as Harry's mum Tara. The group stayed in a luxury villa during their break as well as sailing on a yacht. Harry's stag party has been far more under the radar, with the showjumper hard at work in the run-up to the wedding after he competed at the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in Monaco earlier this month. Eve's siblings — her brother Reed, sister Erin and half-sister Lisa — are also understood to be attending, along with Harry's close and extended family. Throughout last night, the preparations for the big day continued, with guests expected to start touching down from tomorrow. Laurene, who founded The Emerson Collective, which invests in entrepreneurs, is believed to be overseeing events for their youngest daughter. The pair previously discussed not passing his enormous wealth down to the children, with Steve keen for them to carve out their own paths and success. Laurene told The Times in 2020: 'I'm not interested in legacy wealth buildings, and my children know that. "Steve wasn't interested in that. 'If I live long enough, it ends with me.' Prior to his passing, Steve spoke of his hopes for Eve in his authorised biography, calling her 'funny firecracker.' Our insider added: 'Toasts will be raised and those who are no longer with Eve and Harry will be celebrated. 'This might be the UK's most expensive society wedding, but there will be some incredible personal touches. 'The family's dedication to philanthropy will also come into play. 'It's the biggest day of Harry and Eve's lives — and they are going to make sure all of their guests go home with some amazing memories.' 9 9

Lady Violet Manners marries her ‘Caledonian cowboy' in the society wedding of the year
It's been dubbed one of the society weddings of the year, and when Lady Violet Manners tied the knot to William James Lindesay-Bethune on Saturday at her family seat Belvoir Castle, the event lived up to the hype. Wearing a gown with a high, ruffled neckline and puffed sleeves, the sheer panel across her décolletage was embroidered with stars. The skirt was a cascade of ruffles. Violet's hair was styled up to better show off her headpiece – the grand Rutland tiara, which has been in her family since the 18th century. The groom, of Scottish descent, wore a kilt in the Lindsay family tartan, complete with a tasselled sporran. The bridesmaids – dressed in violet, naturally – included the other two Manners sisters, Eliza and Alice, as well as Devisha Kumari Singh. The mother of the bride, Emma Manners, looked resplendent in a pale pink jacquard coat featuring bows at the sleeves, completed by an angled, wide-brimmed hat. Guests included Lady Tatiana Mountbatten, Lady Sabrina Percy and Princess Alexandra's granddaughter Flora Vesterberg. With a decadent 360 rooms, there was plenty of space for everyone at the 16,000-acre Leicestershire stately home – a location grand enough to pass for Windsor Castle in the Netflix show The Crown. Violet, 31, is the eldest of the 11th Duke of Rutland's five children and one third of what society magazine Tatler dubbed high society's 'most glamorous set of sisters' – a group whose party-girl reputations once earned them the lighthearted nickname 'the bad-manners sisters.' Often likened to the Kardashians for their fondness for sharing their lifestyles on social media, Violet's marriage to Bill, 34, son of the 16th Earl of Lindsay (also known as Viscount Garnock), unites two storied families in what Tatler called a 'family line as illustrious as it is complex.' The Manners family history dates back to 1066 and includes 36 successive generations of Dukes and Duchesses. The title of Earl of Lindsay has been part of the Scottish peerage since 1633, but the family's aristocratic roots stretch back to the Norman Conquest. 'The wedding of Lady Violet Manners to Viscount Garnock officially kicks off high society wedding season,' says Tatler features director Eilidh Hargreaves. 'To be followed by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice nuptials and Zac Goldsmith and Hum Fleming's Cotswolds wedding later this summer […] Just like Zac and Hum, this marks the coming together of two dynasties.' The nuptials, announced last July, came as a 'surprise' to many, says one insider, who revealed that many of Lady Violet's friends had yet to meet Bill before their engagement was announced via Instagram. Featuring a picture of the pair in front of Colorado's Rocky Mountains, with a ring on Lady Violet's engagement finger, her caption read: 'I said 'yes' to my Caledonian Cowboy.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Violet Manners (@mannersviolet) While at the time Violet's mother, Emma, Duchess of Rutland, 61, said she was 'over the moon' at the news, David, the 66-year-old Duke of Rutland, told diarist Richard Eden only that he had 'met him [Bill] a couple of times.' The three Manners sisters have been regulars on the London scene. Prior to dating Bill, Lord Garnock; former Dolce & Gabbana model Lady Violet was in a relationship with Old Etonian banker Ted Morrison, which reportedly ended in 2022 – the same year her sister Alice, 30, split from Otis Ferry, son of rock star Bryan Ferry. Eliza, 27, the youngest Manners daughter, has been linked to Max Odey, son of millionaire hedge fund boss Crispin Odey. Despite being heralded by Tatler as one of the most eligible bachelors in the world, 24-year-old Charles – who will eventually inherit the Belvoir estate by virtue of male primogeniture, even though all his sisters are older – and his brother Hugo, 21, are less often in the public eye. The Duchess of Rutland has certainly been on board with Violet's wedding preparations, using social media to document accompanying her eldest on a mother-daughter pre-wedding trip to the island of Formentera at the start of the month and running a daily countdown to the estate's forthcoming celebrations on her Instagram account, including a spot of mother-of-the-bride dress shopping in the capital. Entrepreneurial Lady Violet recently launched HeritageXplore, a digital platform facilitating access to Britain's independently run stately homes and historic houses. For his part, Lord Garnock graduated from the University of Alabama in 2014 and left behind a job in the American drinks industry to return to his family seat, the Jacobean Lahill House in Fife, founding the luxury non-alcoholic botanical spirit brand Feragaia – stocked in Fenwicks, Harrods and elsewhere. One can expect drinks of all denominations to be flowing freely at Belvoir into the early hours of tomorrow morning, as both the family – and the venue – possess immaculate party-throwing pedigree. The nightclub known as 'Dadabells,' found in the dining room, has hosted several celebrations with disco balls and DJ booths, including the 2022 'three-day bacchanal' wedding of Vogue beauty editor Tish Weinstock to Tom Guinness, with guests including Kate and Lila Moss, Sabine and Ivy Getty and the Manners sisters themselves. 'Parties at Belvoir are legendary,' confirms Hargreaves. 'There are tales of disco balls in the Old Kitchen, saxophonists and DJ sets rolling on until 8am. And, having won the 'best silverware' category in Tatler 's Country House Awards, the wedding breakfast will surely sparkle.' The sisters especially love leaning into a theme. 'Lady Violet's Wild West–themed hen do was a case in point, inspired by her fiancé's nickname 'Caledonian Cowboy',' says Hargreaves. ''Vi's Last Rodeo,' as it was called, was hosted at Moscar Lodge in Sheffield (another of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland's properties) and featured chandeliers, tartan gowns, cowboy hats, spa treatments […] and a health workshop with crystals. This is how the modern gentry roll.' So far, so modern – although Violet is expected to take her husband's surname, having previously told The Telegraph of her 'enormous respect for tradition' and her loathing of the word 'woke,' adding, 'For me, the old tradition of taking your husband's surname still rings true.' 'Everyone grows up with this image […]' Lady Violet told Town & Country magazine earlier this year, when asked whether her life in a castle was like a fairytale. 'We all put on the princess dresses when we're younger, we all love the Disney movies, and we were no different. [But growing up at Belvoir] was actually quite scary.' It seems that now, though, Lady Violet has found her prince.
