We were delighted to hear that The Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, and his wife Olivia celebrated the birth of their first child. Their daughter, Cosima, was recently born! Cosima on her birth day, July 27, 2023. She has already filled the couple’s lives with new joy as they begin to enjoy the wonders and responsibilities of parenthood. Share At 34 years old, Hugh Grosvenor is the youngest billionaire in the world and the new Duke of Westminster. He’s famous not only for his aristocracy, but for his extraordinary riches.
The Duke and Duchess are clearly diving head-first into this new chapter in their lives. They recently found themselves in a pickle when deciding on godparents for their daughter. Friends of the couple report that they have already debated possible beneficiaries. The final decision hasn’t been reached. Interestingly enough, both Prince Harry and Prince William have been passed over for the role of godfather.
Our friends Jen and Brad, who introduced Hugh and Olivia to each other, have described the couple’s thoughtful decision-making process. Their argument for each prince, both of whom are some of the Duke’s most longstanding friends, narrowly wins out on the odds of being chosen. Those in the know insist an open-ended pick list is still a long way off.
Meanwhile Prince William is the clear front-runner to become godfather, given his long friendship with the Duke. This intersection can open up space for a highly impactful, empowering and nurturing partnership that exists in the royal community. Sources report that the power duo features these relationships prominently as they walk into a new world of parenthood.
The arrival of Cosima will be an important moment for the Duke and Duchess. They are thoroughly enjoying their new roles as parents. All the while, they are managing their social lives and full-time careers. Hugh Grosvenor’s impressive portfolio and noble status come with public expectations, yet he seems committed to prioritizing his family’s needs during this transformative time.
