The Earl of Southesk married Camile Ascoli today, September 5, a according to an announcement in the French newspaper, le Figaro. Unfortunately, the full announcement is behind the paper's paywall. Lord Southesk, 31, is the heir to the Duke of Fife. He is a descendant of Queen Victoria and William IV, the latter through an illegitimate line.
The wedding took place at Kinnaird Castle in Angus, Scotland. Only 30 guests were able to attend the marriage, due to COVID restrictions.
It is understood that the bride wore the Fife Fringe Tiara, which is on loan to Kensington Palace. The tiara is on display at Kensington Palace, but it has temporarily been removed from the display.
Lord Southesk is the eldest of three sons of the Duke of Fife and his wife, the former Caroline Bunting.
