Phoebe Knatchbull, cousin to Prince William, has tied the knot with British banker Leopold Glover in an intimate London ceremony. Phoebe’s sister, Daisy Knatchbull, shared photos from the celebration on Instagram on Saturday.
The newlyweds were all smiles as they exited the Kensington and Chelsea Register Office, sharing a kiss as their loved ones showered them with confetti.
Phoebe, the great-granddaughter of the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, opted for a contemporary twist on bridal fashion with a cream tuxedo-style mini dress. She paired it with beige slingback stilettos and styled her blonde hair in a half-up, half-down look adorned with a bow embroidered with “Mrs. Glover.”
Leopold, 31, looked dapper in a black tailored suit, white shirt, and patterned tie.
The couple announced their engagement just last month, with Leopold reportedly proposing in Central Park, New York. Phoebe, a distant relative of Prince William and Prince Harry, shared her excitement at the time, hinting she would wear a creation from her sister Daisy’s brand, Knatchbull.
Phoebe, 29, who is known for her private nature, was presented with a stunning sapphire ring. The couple has been living in New York, where Phoebe works as a global account development director at Freuds+.
For their wedding, Phoebe and Leopold chose London, allowing them to reunite with family and friends, many of whom have royal ties.
Phoebe’s father, Hon. Philip Knatchbull, is the son of Patricia Knatchbull, 2nd Countess Mountbatten of Burma, who was the eldest daughter of Prince Philip’s beloved uncle, Lord Mountbatten. Patricia and her sister, Lady Pamela Hicks, were childhood playmates of the future Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret.
When Patricia married Lord Brabourne in 1947, Princess Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, Lady Pamela, and Princess Alexandra of Kent served as her bridesmaids. Patricia and Lord Brabourne had eight children together and enjoyed a long, happy marriage until his passing in 2005.
Phoebe’s siblings include her older sister Daisy and her half-brother Freddy Knatchbull, who currently stars in Made in Chelsea and works as a model and British Army reservist.
