After 26 years and 5 children, India Hicks and David Flint Wood were married today at the St. Bartholomew's Church in Brightwell Baldwin, Oxfordshire.
A reception at the Nelson Pub in Brightwell Baldwin was held after the service.
India, 54, is the youngest child of the late interior designer, David Hicks, and his wife, Lady Pamela Mountbatten, the younger daughter of the late Earl Mountbatten of Burma and the Hon, Edwina Ashley. She and David have been together for 26 years and have four children, Felix, 24, Amory, 22, Conrad, 18, and Domino, 13. They also have an adopted son, Wesley whose mother died some years ago from cancer. All five children were at the wedding as was India's mother, Lady Pamela.
Felix escorted his mother down the aisle.
The Daily Mail has a largely good article about the wedding, but the writer, Bridie Pearson-Jones refers to the bride as Lady India Hicks. India is not the daughter of a duke, marquess, or an earl. Her mother is Lady Pamela as she is the daughter of an earl.

In July 1981, young India was a bridesmaid at the wedding of her godfather, the Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer. She followed in the footsteps of her mother, who was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Charles' parents, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in 1947. Prince Philip is Lady Pamela's first cousin.
No members of the Royal Family were present for today's wedding.
The guest list included India's older sister and brother, Edwina, and Ashley, who was accompanied by his girlfriend, Martina Mondadori, and his two daughters, Angelica and Ambrosia from his first marriage, the Marquess and Marchioness of Milford Haven, The Hon Philip, and the Hon. Timothy Knatchbull, the bride's first cousins, served as ushers.

Are her children now in the line of succession?
ReplyDeleteThese are indeed lovely photos as are all the photos of recent weddings. However, I am actually stunned that no one appears to be wearing masks or practicing any physical distancing while the Delta variant rages and fully vaccinated people are experiencing breakthrough infections.
ReplyDeleteCarly, No. in order to succeed to the throne, you have to be born after the wedding, not before.
ReplyDeleteGlen, different rules in the UK for gatherings
ReplyDeleteLady Pamela looks good for her age. Princess Michael looked unwell in some online photos I saw. One of her legs appeared very swollen. Has she been ill?
