Yeah, Alex had the somewhat "flashy" (flashy compared to the usual Gloucester style I guess) wedding at St James Chapel Royal, with the honor guard and the swords, I presume because he is the heir, and Davina had a still more lowkey ceremony at the KP private chapel.

I think Prince Edward and Sophie may attend Rose's wedding, though, because Edward is her godfather, right?

I'd say it's a fair bet that the Wessexes and the Chattos will be there, as Prince Edward and Lady Sarah Chatto are both godparents to Lady Rose.

[RoyalProtocol]

I wonder why the CC listed the parents as Mr. Peter Gilman and Mrs. Gillian Gilman, are they divorced? If not the CC would have listed Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gilman not as meantioned.

[christinacg]

Congrats. Now we have a couple weddings to look forward to.

I read somewhere that they were separated.

Lady Rose is pretty - she'll make a lovely bride.

What a magnificient piece of work, magnik! I was in awe at how much details of the complicated family tree you unearthed.

Congratulations to the Lady Rose Windsor and Mr Gilman.

This article contains answers to some of our questions, i.e. the question of RoyalProtocol about if the parents of George Gilman are divorced. Here it says they are separated.

Mandrake, 18 November 2007
by Tim Walker with Richard Eden, for The Daily Telegraph

Even before the Queen celebrates her diamond wedding anniversary on Tuesday, Mandrake hears that courtiers are busying themselves with the arrangements for another marriage in the family.
I can disclose that Lady Rose Windsor, the 27-year-old daughter of Her Majesty's cousin the Duke of Gloucester, has become engaged to George Gilman, the son of a controversial former director of Leeds United Football Club. Buckingham Palace confirmed the news last night but declined to comment further. The reticence on the part of Her Majesty's spokesman is, perhaps, understandable....
Lady Rose has been romanced by George, 25, for several years. In 2005 he was listed among those who attended a service of thanksgiving for the life of Rose's grandmother, Princess Alice. George, who lives in Maida Vale, west London, went to Leeds Metropolitan University after Repton, the public school in Derbyshire....

Ah, kids! So adorable together.

[PrincessofEurope]

any date for a wedding yet i suppose we will only know once it has happened

[Elspeth]

Well, Lady Davina's wedding was known about ahead of time, so I hope the same is true for Lady Rose.

[randomlyKeira]

Oh! Congratulations to them both. I'm glad that both of the Glouc. girls seem to have found simple happiness. She'll make a lovely bride, and I hope there are tonnes of photos!
