Phoebe Knatchbull, great-granddaughter of the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, has married British banker Leopold Glover in an intimate ceremony held in London. The couple, who announced their engagement just last month, exchanged vows at the Kensington and Chelsea Register Office, surrounded by close family and friends. Their nuptials were celebrated in a low-key affair, marked by a kiss under a shower of confetti.
Leopold proposed to Phoebe with a breathtaking sapphire ring during a romantic moment in New York's Central Park. The couple chose to marry in London, allowing them to reunite with many loved ones, including those with royal connections. Phoebe, clad in a chic cream tuxedo-style mini dress designed by her sister Daisy's fashion brand, Knatchbull, brought a modern twist to traditional bridal wear. Her ensemble was completed with beige slingback stilettos and a stylish half-up-half-down hairstyle.
The bride's sister, Daisy Knatchbull, played an integral role in the wedding as both bridesmaid and designer of the bridal attire. Daisy also shared glimpses of the ceremony on Instagram, capturing the essence of the couple’s special day. Phoebe's father, the Hon. Philip Knatchbull, is the son of Patricia Knatchbull, 2nd Countess Mountbatten of Burma, linking Phoebe to notable aristocratic lineage. Her grandmother Patricia was the eldest daughter of Prince Philip's uncle, 'Dickie' Mountbatten.
In addition to her family's esteemed heritage, Phoebe has carved her own path as a global account development director at Freuds+ in New York. Meanwhile, her new husband Leopold balances his career as a banker with roles as a British army reservist and model. The couple's union brings together diverse worlds of finance, fashion, and royal connections.
Phoebe’s half-brother Freddy Knatchbull is known for his appearances on the reality TV show Made in Chelsea, showcasing another facet of her family's public presence. The wedding drew attention not only for its aristocratic ties but also for its elegant simplicity and personal touches.
