See the bride! Duke of Wellington's daughter Charlotte arrives at the church to marry her billionaire New York financier fiancé in front of Camilla

They have been waiting for this moment since getting engaged in July and now the Duke of Wellington’s daughter and her billionaire fiancé are finally about to walk down the aisle.

Joined by some of their nearest and dearest, Lady Charlotte Wellesley, 25, and Colombian-American financier Alejandro Santo Domingo, 39, will tie the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Granada, Spain.
After a tricky moment getting the bride out of the car with her veil and dress intact after the wedding party pulled up in front of the church, Lady Charlotte looked radiant as she entered the 16th building.

The ceremony will be replete with VIPs, including The Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles, the former King of Spain Juan Carlos I and singer James Blunt, whose wife Sofia Wellesley is Lady Charlotte's cousin.

Lady Charlotte was accompanied into the church by her proud father, the Duke of Wellington. But the rain began in time for the guests to start arriving, and the cream of European aristocracy was forced to shelter under umbrellas as they made their way into the church.

Singer James Blunt, 42, and his 32-year-old wife Sofia looked relaxed and happy as they arrived at the church ahead of this evening's ceremony.
Sofia wore an ankle-length cream coloured dress with a pretty floral design and beige espadrille wedges, while her husband went for a navy suit and complementary pale blue tie. He added a hint of colour with pink striped socks.


The VIP guests began arriving in the small town of Illora yesterday afternoon, to enjoy the sunshine and relax before the ceremony.

The billionaire tucked his hands in his pockets, and the pair shared smiles while an aide carried what appeared to be his suit.
Later in the evening, the couple hosted a pre-wedding formal drinks where James Blunt, 42, and 32-year-old Sofia, warmly greeted their fellow guests in the evening sunshine.

The former army Captain and his wife had touched down at Granada airport, and the You're Beautiful hitmaker cut a relaxed figure under the clear blue sky.
