英国“最富单身贵族”终于结婚了!
6月7日,这位顶级钻石王老五,英国第七代威斯敏斯特公爵(又称西敏公爵)——休·格罗夫纳(Hugh Grosvenor)在切斯特大教堂迎娶新娘奥利维亚·亨森(Olivia Henson)。
33岁的休,被称为全英国女人最想嫁的男人。伦敦最贵的两个地区,贝尔格莱维亚区Belgravia和梅菲尔区Mayfair都是他家的,号称拥有“半个伦敦”。
作为威廉王子的死党,乔治王子的教父,公爵婚礼的奢华程度可想而知,可惜威廉王子单独出席,凯特王妃由于身体原因仍在修养,他们的三个孩子也没有来。Prince George's absence may be due to a practical reason: it fell on a school day.Prince William's wife, Kate Middleton, was also not in attendance as she continues to stay out of the public eye amid her cancer treatment. 乔治王子的缺席可能有一个实际的原因:那天是上学的日子。威廉王子的妻子凯特·米德尔顿也没有出席,因为她在接受癌症治疗期间继续远离公众视线。
Born in January 1991, Hugh Grosvenor grew up in Cheshire at Eaton Hall — an impossibly stately home that sits in just shy of 11,000 acres of parkland and formal gardens. 生于1991年1月的休·格罗夫纳,在柴郡的伊顿庄园长大——这是一座令人难以置信的宏伟宅邸,周围环绕着近 11,000 英亩的公园和规则式庭园。
The house has been rebuilt numerous times since its first iteration in the 17th century and now resembles an imposing French chateau.这座庄园自 17 世纪首次建造以来经过多次重建,现在外观雄伟,犹如一座法式城堡。
The duke’s late father, Gerald, the 6th Duke, was born and raised in rural Ireland. 该公爵的父亲,已故的杰拉尔德,也就是第六代公爵,出生并成长于爱尔兰的农村地区。
Gerald’s wife and Hugh’s mother, Natalia, has Russian lineage and includes Tsar Nicholas I and the writer Alexander Pushkin among her ancestors.
娜塔莉亚是杰拉尔德的妻子,休的母亲,她拥有俄罗斯血统,祖先包括沙皇尼古拉一世和作家亚历山大·普希金。
公爵一家,和英国王室的关系非常紧密。
The duke’s mother, Natalia, is Prince William’s godmother. His father was also specially chosen to act as a mentor to William by the late Queen, who was Gerald’s 14th cousin once removed.公爵的母亲娜塔莉亚是威廉王子的教母。他的父亲杰拉尔德也受到已故女王的特别挑选,成为威廉王子的教父,女王是杰拉尔德的第14代表亲。
Hugh is one of King Charles’ 33 godchildren, with the monarch, then the Prince of Wales, attending his 1991 christening. Then, in 2013, the duke was chosen as one of Prince George’s godfathers.休是查尔斯国王的33个教子之一,1991年还是威尔士亲王的查尔斯出席了休的洗礼仪式。然后,在 2013 年,休被选为乔治王子的教父之一。
虽然出生显赫,家财万贯,但是休·格罗夫纳为人非常低调,连向来喜欢揭人隐私丑闻的英国《太阳报》报道他时也不得不说:“他很务实,身上没有一点纨绔子弟的习气,挑不出什么毛病。”
这一切还要从休的父亲第六代西敏公爵对他的教育说起,Virtue, not ancestry(德行重于血统)是格罗夫纳家族的祖训。
Speaking of his then infant son in 1992, the Duke had told The Independent: 'My main object will be to teach him self- discipline and a sense of duty. He's been born with the longest silver spoon anyone can have, but he can't go through life sucking on it. He has to put back what he has been given.' 1992年,谈到当时还是婴儿的儿子,公爵告诉《独立报》:“我的主要目标是教会他自律和责任感。他生来就是豪门巨富,但他不能坐吃山空。他必须学会依靠自己。
跟绝大多数贵族子弟不同,从小到大,老公爵一直让休就读公立学校,后来读的私立高中也不属于顶尖行列。
The duke didn’t go to Eton or any other high-profile boys’ public school, which is traditional for aristocratic children. This is perhaps because his own father hated life at Harrow.休没有像贵族子弟那样去伊顿公学或其他著名的男子公立学校读书,这或许是因为他的父亲杰拉尔德非常厌恶自己在哈罗公学的生活。Instead, he went to Ellesmere College, a co-educational day school in Shrophire, where fees are £6,000 per term and where he met his former long-term girlfriend Harriet Tomlinson. The duke then studied Countryside Management at Newcastle University, which gave him some of the tools he needed to head up the Grosvenor Estate.相反,他去了什罗普郡的一所男女混合走读学校埃尔斯米尔学院,那里的学费每学期高达6,000英镑。正是在那里,他遇到了前女友哈丽特·汤姆林森。之后,公爵在纽卡斯尔大学学习乡村管理专业,这为他管理格罗夫纳庄园提供了必要的知识和技能。
纽卡斯尔大学(Newcastle University),简称“NCL”,是位于英国英格兰泰恩-威尔郡泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔市的一所公立综合类研究型大学。历史可以追溯到1834年在纽卡斯尔成立的医学和外科学院。
硕士入学要求
英语:雅思6.5以上,单项不低于5.5。
父亲的言传身教,让休一生受益匪浅。2016年,老公爵撒手人寰,当时25岁的休,一夜之间成了英国最富有的年轻人,也由此承担起家族重任。
Hugh inherited his father's title and wealth in 2016, making him the youngest billionaire in the U.K. — and landed him the title of "England's most eligible bachelor" in British media.
休·格罗夫纳在 2016 年继承了父亲的爵位和财富,这使他成为英国最年轻的亿万富翁,同时也让他获得了英国媒体授予的“英格兰第一黄金单身汉”的称号。
Hugh is chair of the Grosvenor Group, an investment and real estate group that manages rural estates and supports charitable initiatives, such as investing in food and agricultural technology that is environmentally responsible and works towards a more sustainable food system.
休是格罗夫纳集团的主席。该集团是一个投资和房地产集团,负责管理乡村庄园,并支持慈善倡议,例如投资对环境负责的食品和农业科技,助力建立更可持续的食品体系。
The duke topped the Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List earlier this year, with an estimated fortune of £10.1bn.今年早些时候,公爵登上了《星期日泰晤士报》40岁以下富豪榜榜首,估计身价达101亿英镑。
He took 15th place on the overall list, dropping from the 11th spot in the 2023 rankings. (Hugh still highly outranks King Charles, whose personal wealth stands at $770 million, making him the 258th richest person in the U.K., according to the list.)
不过,他也在整体排行榜上跌至第 15 位,相比 2023 年的第 11 位有所下滑。(根据该榜单,休的财富仍然远超查尔斯国王,国王的个人财富为 7.7 亿美元,在英国排名第258位。)
和父亲一样,休也在慈善事业上投入了很多精力。
He is chair of trustees of the Westminster Foundation, through which vulnerable youth and their families are supported and given opportunities which otherwise elude them.
他担任威斯敏斯特基金会理事会主席,该基金会为弱势青少年及其家庭提供支持,并给予他们原本难以获得的机会。
He also supports the Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre, a charity set up by his father which supports wounded British military veterans.
他同时也支持国防和国家康复中心,该慈善机构由其父亲创立,旨在帮助受伤的英国退伍军人。
The duke has represented the UK at Olympic skeet shooting competitions. Skeet shooting is a version of clay shooting and relies on participants hitting a moving target.
公爵曾代表英国参加过奥运会飞碟射击比赛。飞碟射击是克莱射击的一种形式,比赛中选手需要击中移动的碟靶。
所以,究竟是什么样的女生,会让公爵想要共度终生?
Olivia grew up in London and Oxfordshire and went on to attend Princess Kate's alma mater, Marlborough College, and Trinity College Dublin. 奥利维亚在伦敦和牛津郡长大,后来就读于凯特王妃的母校马尔伯勒学院和都柏林圣三一大学。
都柏林圣三一大学(Trinity College Dublin),是1592年由都铎王朝的英格兰及爱尔兰女王伊丽莎白一世以牛津大学、剑桥大学为蓝本设立的一所世界顶级研究型大学。是爱尔兰最古老的大学,也是英语世界最古老的七所古典大学之一,在QS2024年世界大学排名中位列81位,爱尔兰第1。
硕士入学要求
英语:雅思6.5以上,单项不低于6.5。
She most recently worked at Belazu, an artisanal food company in London, and serves on the board of trustees of the Belazu Foundation, which works to promote education and healthy eating for the next generation in the U.K. and the Mediterranean.如今她在伦敦的手工食品公司Belazu工作,并担任Belazu基金会的董事会成员,该基金会致力于为英国和地中海地区的下一代推广教育和健康饮食。
Hugh, 33, and Olivia, 31, announced their engagement in April 2023 after two years of dating.
33岁的休和31岁的奥利维亚在约会两年后,于2023年4月宣布订婚。
