Great news! The Duke and Duchess of Westminster have finally unveiled striking new portraits from their fairytale wedding.

This weekend, the couple's wedding photographer, Benjamin Wheeler shared four official wedding photos of Hugh Grosvenor, 33, and Olivia Henson, 31, on his Instagram account and wrote, "A huge congratulations to Hugh Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster & Olivia Henson, married yesterday at Chester Cathedral."

The post includes two stunning black-and-white shots of the newlyweds holding hands during the ceremony, a snap of the duchess arriving by car and a gorgeous solo pic of her elegant gown. Designed by Emma Victoria Payne, the sleek, ivory silk number includes floral motifs and hand-drawn embroidery on both the dress and the veil. On Instagram, Payne wrote. "Each original antique motif from Olivia’s family veil was hand drawn and reimagined into a new repeat pattern of graduating scalloped edges and oval shapes to reflect Olivia’s engagement ring setting. Personalized initials and wedding date complete the design in the center back."

In addition to the new portraits, the couple also released a personal statement to thank their families and loved ones for their support. They said, "We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported us yesterday and want to extend a special thank you to those in Chester who helped make our day so memorable. We have been incredibly touched by everyone’s amazing support and warm wishes."

The couple's wedding was held at Chester Cathedral in northern England on June 7, and more than 400 guests were in attendance. Prince William served as an usher, and even Princess Eugenie made an appearance. However, Prince Harry opted not to attend due to family dynamics and not wanting to overshadow the duke's special day. A source told People, "[The Duke of Sussex] sends his love and support and admiration for the couple" on their big day.

As for Grosvenor's connection to the British royal family, it turns out that he is the godfather of both Prince George and Prince Archie. Also, King Charles is Grosvenor's godfather.

The Duke of Westminster, who became one of the richest young bachelors in the world after inheriting his title, proposed to Henson at Eaton Hall, and just one month before their nuptials, they visited a few Chester charities supported by the Westminster Foundation.

Wishing the two newlyweds a long and happy marriage.
