The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were guests at a private wedding ceremony for Prince Edward's goddaughter, Ella Mountbatten, this past weekend. Ella, the eldest daughter of Lord Ivar Mountbatten, married Fergus Wright. The couple, with notable royal connections on both sides, celebrated their union in a ceremony attended by close friends and family.
Lord Ivar, a second cousin to King Charles, has a long-standing friendship with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. Their families have frequently visited each other's homes. This personal event occurs as the Edinburghs prepare for their son, James, Earl of Wessex, to begin his studies in Rural Land & Property Management at the Royal Agricultural University in September. Concurrently, Duchess Sophie is undertaking a diplomatic visit to Zambia this week.
Ella works in brands and partnerships for private jet fleet Flexjet, while her husband, Fergus, is a Marketing Manager at Sky Sports Racing. The engagement was announced last year by Lord Ivar, who shared his joy over his daughter's upcoming marriage.
