Duke and Duchess of Westminster ‘thrilled' as they welcome first child
'Both the duchess and Cosima are doing well.
'The duke and duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family.'
The duke, one of the UK's biggest landowners, is a close friend of both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, and godfather to Prince George and also reportedly to Prince Archie.
William acted as an usher at his wedding in Chester Cathedral in June last year but Harry mutually agreed with the groom he would not attend amid his long-running rift with his brother.
Hugh, once considered one of the country's most eligible bachelors, became an instant billionaire when he inherited his title and control of the historic Grosvenor Estate aged 25, following the death of his father from a heart attack in 2016.
His property company, Grosvenor Group, owns hundreds of acres of land in Mayfair and Belgravia, as well as major city centre developments such as Liverpool's One shopping centre.
In 2020, the duke donated £12.5 million to the UK's Covid-19 relief effort including funds for NHS Charities Together and for medical research and development.

Rhian Sugden reveals the incredible difference after her breast reduction as she hits back at trolls who blasted her decision to go down five cup sizes
Rhian Sugden has shown off the incredible results of her breast reduction surgery that saw her go from a 32HH to a 32E cup size. The glamour model, 38, went under the knife last month and in a new post, the mother-of-one revealed how much of a difference the surgery had made. In a video taken pre-surgery, she went braless in a white T-shirt as she outlined the shape of her breasts. The video then cut to her wearing the same top post-surgery as she outlined her smaller breasts following her surgery. She captioned the post: 'Breast Reduction and uplift… Before + After. Couldn't be happier! Look at the difference.' Rhian then showed off her assets in a racy selfie where she posed in a white lace bodysuit. Alongside the snap, she penned: 'New Girls ❤️ I say new, they're still the same ones just lifted. 'For people genuinely interested in what surgery I had, it was an uplift and reduction. No implants. One of the best things I've done for me.' Despite Rhian being happier than ever with her new figure, she revealed she had been inundated with messages from trolls criticising her decision. In an Instagram Story that has since expired, she hit back at her critics as she revealed she had no concern with scarring and that she couldn't understand why anyone felt the need to comment on her decision. She added in a cheeky quip that the comments were coming from men who were 'never going to touch or be near her breasts', so it didn't concern her. Rhian previously revealed she feels 'sexier than ever' after losing 4lbs following her breast reduction surgery in a fresh update to fans on Saturday. Showing off the results of her surgery for the first time, she posed in a pale blue bra and penned: 'From a 32HH to a 32E - five whole cup sizes down and about a stone of boob-weight gone. 'I can't even explain how free I feel. No more back pain and better posture already. I feel like I could levitate. I feel lighter, comfier and I'm actually excited to wear tops that aren't 98% scaffolding. The model and former Page 3 girl went under the knife five weeks ago to have her 34HH bust reduced and lifted 'Massive love to Dr Hussain at Pall Mall the absolute GOAT of breast surgery. Not only is he a surgical genius and kind as hell but he made me feel totally safe from start to finish. 'Huge boobs were a chapter. This is the plot twist. Stay tuned for the sequel.' Meanwhile, speaking to The Sun following her procedure, Rhian revealed she had the equivalent of 'four Coke cans worth' of tissue removed. 'I've got a mole that was on my upper chest that is now down by the nipple. My nipples have come up by 12 cms,' she said. The mum-of-one also shared how her boobs now match for the very first time after previously using tactics to disguise their 'unevenness'. She explained: 'My boobs were a whole cup size different. The right one was always bigger so I'd always have to have one arm up, in every photoshoot, to make them look even.' While Rhian previously shared how her husband Oliver Mellor was ' gutted' over her breast reduction, he's now comparing her to Pamela Anderson. Rhian received backlash from fans when she initially announced her plans for a reduction online and was trolled in March of this year She beamed: 'Oliver was a bit nervous at first because he likes big boobs and he was worried about the scarring. 'But he can't believe how well they've turned out. He's very pleased with them. He says I look like Pammy (Anderson) again because they're so perky. 'They look good and they're still a good size. A decent handful for him.' Rhian added that her back was 'in bits all the time' over her out of proportion posture which led to her taking painkillers daily, while buying dresses and vest tops were a no-no. The model and OnlyFans star received backlash from fans when she initially announced her plans for a reduction online. In March, she shared a post with several screenshots of cruel comments from trolls, as she emphasised that it was her own decision what to do to her own body. She fumed: 'It's actually quite shameful that I'm actually writing a caption to JUSTIFY what I'm doing with MY body. She and Oliver, 44, welcomed their 'miracle' son George in April last year after a challenging five-year journey which involved eight rounds of IVF and £150,000 'Boob experts (men) are messaging me telling me to just lose weight and they'll shrink. Look at me!?? I'm the size I was yet despite your professional advice my melons haven't shrunk. Who'd have thought? 'My back hurts. I long to wear backless dresses. Buy sexy lingerie, wear no bra when I go out, run, swim without them falling out of my swim suit. They don't make me happy this big. 'Messaging me and calling me deluded for wanting a reduction to go back to the size I was 12 months ago - is absurd.' Rhian rose to fame in 2006 as a Page 3 model at just 19 years old, quickly amassing a huge fanbase and securing lucrative deals - including a £100,000 payday for her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012. She and Oliver, 44, welcomed their 'miracle' son George in April last year after a challenging five-year journey which involved eight rounds of IVF and £150,000. Last month the worried mum revealed the 15-month old had contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease as she pleaded with fans for advice on how to help him feel better.

After Leslie, who voiced The Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter films, died two and a half years ago aged 98, the contents of his will remained private KEEP CALM & CARRY ON I'm being booted out of our £4m home in 10 days… but I REFUSE to leave, says Harry Potter star Leslie Phillips' widow Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CARRY ON star Leslie Phillips' widow is being ordered to leave the home they shared throughout their married life. Zara Phillips has been warned by lawyers that if she does not vacate by August 7, they will go to court to get her out.

After Leslie, who voiced The Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter films, died two and a half years ago aged 98, the contents of his will remained private. But when his last wishes were made public in 2024, it became clear that Leslie's will had been changed during the Covid crisis. The new will, approved in the Court of Protection, was substantially different to the one drawn up by Leslie the day before the couple married in December 2013. In 2014 Leslie suffered a massive stroke, and Zara quit work and looked after him until his death in November 2022. Leslie's first will had allowed Zara, his third wife and 36 years his junior, to stay in his £4million West London home for the rest of her life. But former air stewardess Zara discovered that a new will states the property must be sold and the proceeds put into a trust fund to be divided between her and Leslie's two sons and two daughters from his first marriage to actress Penelope Bartley. The new will, drawn up in November 2020, insists Zara has to be out of the five-bed property next month. According to a legal letter seen by The Sun, if she refuses to go, lawyers will apply to the courts for possession. Fighting back tears Zara says: 'Where would I go? I am in ill-health, old and frail, not well enough to move and I am still grieving.' Leslie Phillips dead at 98 – Harry Potter star who voiced Sorting Hat and Carry On icon passes away after long illness She adds: 'Leslie would not have wanted me to be thrown onto the street. I had known him for nearly 30 years. 'They told me that if I do go to court, they will deduct the money from my inheritance. 'The court can bring the bailiffs to throw me out but I won't go. The executors said, 'We know you looked after Leslie very well 24/7. That's the reason we're giving you money'. 'I found it very disrespectful. A wife doesn't charge her husband for looking after him when he is ill.' In a showbiz career lasting eight decades, Leslie appeared in more than 200 movies as well as hit TV series and on stage around the world. He was best known for his catchphrases 'Ding Dong', 'Well, Hellooo' and 'I Say' from appearing in 'Carry On' movies, delivered in rich dulcet tones. He wooed a new generation of fans as the voice of The Sorting Hat in Harry Potter movies, and also appeared with Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider as well as Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun and in Out of Africa with Robert Redford. Leslie's personal life was plagued by tragedy. His first wife Penelope died in a house fire in 1981, while Leslie was in Australia. The following year he married Bond girl Angela Scoular, who killed herself in 2011 with a lethal cocktail of drugs and alcohol after suffering terminal bowel cancer. Zara, a friend for more than 20 years, helped Leslie come to terms with Angela's death. They fell in love and married in December 2013. The actor's estate is valued at over £5million, including the house, which he bought in the 1960s at the height of his fame. When Covid shut down the country in 2020, Zara protected Leslie from the effects of the pandemic. But at that time Leslie changed the will, giving Zara just two years nine months after his death to vacate the house. Zara says: 'I was very vulnerable that time. The country was in the grip of the Covid crisis. 'I was the main carer for Leslie, who was disabled. His will was not my priority at that time. 'I was younger than him and I was devoted and committed. He was my main priority. I loved him with all my heart. I did what I had to do and put Leslie first.' A spokesman for the executors of Leslie's will says: 'I confirm that the administration of Leslie Phillips' estate is ongoing in accordance with a Will approved by the Court of Protection. 'It would not be appropriate for me to comment further for reasons of confidentiality.' 4 The couple tied the knot back in 2013 Credit: Louis Hollingsbee - The Sun
