The couple expressed their happiness at getting ready to receive their first born child in 2025. Their thank you didn’t stop there; they shared their appreciation in a tear-jerking social media post.
At 31 years old, Flora Vesterberg is not only stepping into motherhood but embracing her journey as an art historian and as a member of the British royal family. She is the granddaughter of the late Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, and the late Sir Angus Ogilvy. Flora and Timothy wed in a self-uniting ceremony limited to close friends and family in September 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, they crowned their union with an extravagant ceremony at St. James’ Palace.
They met in Paris When Flora first moved to Paris for graduate school, she was introduced to Timothy by a mutual friend Alexander Danielsson. Their bond deepened rapidly, leading them to get engaged within six months.
Flora came out publicly about her autism diagnosis in May 2025. She is unrepentant and elaborated on this theme in a brilliant long form piece for British Vogue. In her autobiographical essay on autism, she wrote that her life journey with autism did not really start until her diagnosis. It has since helped her to better understand her emotional needs as well as strengths.
“Whilst my journey with autism feels like it only truly began with my diagnosis, I feel relieved to now have a clearer understanding of my emotional needs as well as the strengths that I should lean into,” – Flora Vesterberg
Ultimately, Flora felt empowered with guidance from her clinical assessment. It allowed her to make sense of her experiences and sensitivities in a much more powerful way. This realization has proven crucial for her and those in her orbit.
“Like many women, I only recently felt compelled to pursue a clinical assessment…As a result of the diagnosis, I feel empowered by having a framework with which to understand my experiences and sensitivities. It brings a sense of relief as well as validation. I know that this will not only help me to be kinder to myself, but also help my community to support me effectively.” – Flora Vesterberg
On September 4, 2025, Flora marked her fifth wedding anniversary with a tribute to Timothy, recalling what she wore on their wedding day.
“It’s our 5th wedding anniversary tomorrow morning. It rained petals as Timothy and I took our first steps from the Chapel Royal as husband and wife. Jag älskar dig, min älskling. #London,” – Flora Vesterberg
The joyous couple’s announcement has received an outpouring of well-wishes from friends and family, including wedding dress designer Phillipa Lepley who wrote back, “How fabulous.
