EMILY PRESCOTT: The wedding man who organized Prince William’s bachelorette party. Guy Pelly is now hosting ceremonies at his Virginia Vineyard with the Holiday Inn heiress’ wife
Guy Pelly is no stranger to a royal wedding – after all, he organized his best friend William’s bachelorette party.
But now 41-year-old Guy, Prince Louis’ godfather, is hosting ceremonies at the Virginia winery he co-owns with Holiday Inn heiress Lizzy Wilson’s wife. Pelly, pictured below with American Lizzy, tells me, “It took us a while to come up with the idea.” But we have a beautiful farm and we want to share it.
“While we might not be thrilled at the thought of hearing “Sweet Caroline” from our front porch every Saturday night, we realize that we are witnessing the greatest day in the lives of two people. And that feels good!’
Couples are being charged £10,000 for a wedding package but I wonder if the events will be as star filled as Guy’s own big day?
His guest list included William, Prince Harry and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

The late Queen’s youngest granddaughter, Lady Louise
Are royal titles a thing of the past? Last week, HRH Prince Harry was removed from the Royal Family website and now I hear Lady Louise Windsor also wants to remove Her Royal Highness.
I am told that Lady Louise, 19, has informed her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, that she does not wish to use the ‘Royal’ prefix.
Sources say the late Queen’s youngest granddaughter left made the decision just after she turned 18 – the age at which royals decide whether to wear the title. Lady Louise is currently studying English at the University of St Andrews, the alma mater of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

It’s been hot for Ellie
A summer vacation can be challenging, especially when you’re fair-skinned like Ellie Bamber.
The Trial Of Christine Keeler actress shared snaps from a trip to Spain’s Costa Brava and joked, “Never enough factor 50.”
But it seems 26-year-old Ellie, who is set to play Kate Moss in an upcoming biopic about the Croydon supermodel’s relationship with artist Lucian Freud, is determined to get a dose of vitamin D.
She was also staying at the luxury hotel Villa Mabrouka in Tangier with her close friend, designer Jasper Conran (pictured right).
Former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, 35, says he needs to put his parents back in their place when they accuse him of being “too Eton”. Spencer chats with principal Simon Henderson on his Big Fish podcast and says, “I have to remind them that they’re the ones who sent me there!”
