They had been married on 14 July 1994 at St Stephen’s Walbrook in London, a good looking church designed by the famend architect Sir Christopher Wren, which held simply 200 friends. It was the first time that the venue had been chosen for a royal wedding ceremony, with Lady Sarah’s cousins choosing the grander, larger-scale places of St Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. Indeed, her brother, the then Viscount Linley, had solely the earlier yr wed the Hon. Serena Stanhope at Westminster Abbey.
The wedding ceremony got here at a tough time for the Royal Family, simply two years after the late Queen’s ‘annus horribilis’, when Prince Charles (now King Charles III) and Prince Andrew each separated from their wives, Diana, Princess of Wales and Sarah, Duchess of York, respectively. Indeed, the occasion made headlines for being the first occasion attended by Charles and Diana since he had admitted to having an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles (now Queen Camilla) in an interview with Jonathan Dimbleby the month prior.
