Prince George is also hinted to play a significant role in the wedding as Grosvenor is the future King’s godfather.
Grosvenor played a part in King Charles’s Coronation last year by carrying one of the Royal Standards.
Other anticipated guests include the Duke and Duchess of Kent, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Alexandra.
The duke is also close friends with Prince Harry, but questions remain over whether the Duke of Sussex will attend as his daughter Princess Lilibet’s birthday is on the same day.

PABefore his engagement to Henson, he was regarded as the country’s “most eligible bachelor.”
However, last year the duke announced his engagement to Henson, who works for a London-based ethical food company called Belazu.
The couple met through mutual friends in London and dated for two years before Hugh proposed in April 2023.
At the time of Grosvenor’s proposal, the couple stated: “The Duke of Westminster and Miss Olivia Henson are delighted to announce they are engaged to be married. The couple, who have been together for two years, recently became engaged at the Duke’s family home at Eaton Hall in Cheshire.”
