And baby makes three! The Duke and Duchess of Westminster have welcomed their first child. Hugh Grosvenor and his wife Olivia Henson‘s baby girl, named Cosima Florence Grosvenor, arrived on Sunday, July 27. The new parents are said to be “thrilled.”
A statement announcing Cosima’s birth read (via HOLA! USA‘s sister brand HELLO!): “The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are thrilled to announce the birth of their baby daughter.”
“They have named her Cosima Florence Grosvenor, who was born in London today, 27 July,” the statement continued. “Both the Duchess and Cosima are doing well. The Duke and Duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family.”
It was revealed back in March that the Duke and Duchess were expecting their first child. A spokesperson for the couple said in a statement (via HELLO!): “The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are very pleased to share that 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.”
The announcement came less than a year after Hugh and Olivia tied the knot in what was described as the society wedding of the year. The Duke and Duchess got married in June of 2024 at Chester Cathedral. The bride looked elegant for her big day wearing a dress by Emma Victoria Payne. The Prince of Wales reportedly served as an usher at the couple’s wedding.
Hugh is one of Prince George‘s godparents. When it came to picking godparents for their firstborn, a source told PEOPLE (via E! News) in 2013 that the Prince and Princess of Wales “wanted to include family and friends and reflect their life on both sides.” In addition to being George’s godparent, the Duke is reportedly a godfather to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s son, Prince Archie. Hugh is also one of King Charles‘ godchildren.
