PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle would have ruined the Duke of Westminster’s wedding, a royal expert says.
Hugh Grosvenor, 33, today tied the knot with fiancee Olivia Henson, 31, in a lavish ceremony at Chester Cathedral.

The happy couple beamed as they left the chapel before sharing a kiss while thousands of people cheered.
Crowds lined the streets for hours to try get a glimpse of the couple on their big day, which has been dubbed the society wedding of the year.
Not even Just Stop Oil eco jobs, who let off an orange fire extinguisher near the church, dampened Hugh and Olivia’s big day.
But Royal commentator Katie Nicholl said one thing could have ruined the day – Harry and Meghan.
Speaking to The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show, the expert said that Hugh would have been relieved it was Prince William who went.
Katie told Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson: “All of the headlines would be about the brothers and this rift when this is actually a really important society wedding and I think it would detract from certainly the bride and groom of the day and no one would want that.
“Knowing that Hughie is quite close with the brothers he was obviously in a difficult position and I think he was never going to invite one and not the other.
