Wedding of Hugh Van Cutsem and Rose Astor

Wedding of Hugh Van Cutsem and Rose Astor


Prince William and Catherine Middleton led British High Society at the Wedding of Hugh Van Cutsem and Rose Astor at the Burford Parish Church on this day in 2005, 20 years ago.

Hugh Van Cutsem, son Hugh and Emilie van Cutsem, married Rose Astor, the daughter of David Astor and Clare Astor, and a great-granddaughter of Lady Astor, at the Burford Parish Church. The couple have three children, including Grace van Cutsem, who was a flower girl at the wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton in 2011.

Rose, the youngest daughter of David and Clare Astor, wore an ivory dress with matching veil and tiara to the one-hour ceremony at Burford Parish Church, near Oxford.

The groom, dressed in a traditional morning suit, escorted his bride through the drizzle under the protection of a white umbrella.

Charles and Camilla were not expected to attend the wedding after the groom’s parents, Hugh and Emilie van Cutsem avoided their own own marriage blessing at Windsor Castle in April.

Charles had already boycotted the wedding of their eldest son, Edward, to the Duke of Westminster’s daughter, Lady Tamara Grosvenor, in November last year after learning Camilla would be sitting rows behind him.

The two families have known each other for years with Emilie becoming very close to the young princes after the death of Diana.

Rose Astor wore the Ancaster Heathcote Tiara on loan from her cousin, the Baroness Willoughby de Eresby.
