The pair also revealed their newborn daughter’s unique name, Cosima Florence Grosvenor.

“The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are thrilled to announce the birth of their baby daughter,” a spokesperson for the couple said in a statement.

“Both the duchess and Cosima are doing well. The duke and duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family.”

The duke, 34, is a close friend of princes William and Harry, and serves as the godfather to both Prince George and Prince Archie.

Despite his close friendship with the Duke of Sussex, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, declined the invitation to attend the nuptials, which took place in June 2024.

The wedding proved to be a who’s who among the British elite, with the Sunday Times describing it as “the most royal non-royal wedding of the year, with members of Britain’s oldest and wealthiest aristocratic families heading north.”

The couple said their “I Do’s” at Chester Cathedral, before inviting around 400 special guests — including the future king and Princess Eugenie — to go to a lavish reception at Eaton Hall.

Grosvenor, whose inherited fortune is reportedly worth an estimated $12.6 billion, was introduced to Henson by mutual friends in 2021.

He became an instant billionaire at age 25 following his father’s unexpected death in 2016 when he inherited his title and control of the historic Grosvenor Estate.

“The Duchess is expecting a baby in the summer. The couple are delighted with the news and are very much looking forward to starting a family together,” a spokesperson for the duo said in March.

The pair, who kickstarted their relationship in 2021, announced their engagement in April 2023.
