Prince William is usher at wedding of aristocrat the Duke of Westminster

LONDON (AP) — Prince William is serving as an usher at the wedding of his friend Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster. The 33-year-old Grosvenor is one of Britain’s wealthiest landowners, and his wedding Friday to his partner Olivia Henson, 31, is one of the high-society events of the year. William arrived with his fellow ushers at Chester Cathedral in northwest England ahead of the midday service. Onlookers cheered the arrival of Grosvenor, dressed in a morning suit, and Henson, wearing a white wedding dress designed by Emma Victoria Payne. Grosvenor is a godfather to 10-year-old Prince George, the eldest son of William and his wife Catherine. Catherine, who is being treated for cancer, was not due to attend the wedding.
