Wedding bells rang throughout Kinnaird Castle over the weekend, as Lord Hugh Carnegie, son of the Duke of Fife, celebrated his big day with his bride, Kate Morgan, scion of the Morgan Motor Company. Through his father, who is a third cousin of King Charles, Lord Hugh can trace his lineage back to Queen Victoria. His brothers – Charles, the Earl of Southesk, and George – are both older than the groom, and thus ahead of him in line to inherit the Fife Dukedom.
All eyes, of course, were on the bride, who wore a historical family heirloom to say her vows. Dazzling in a lace wedding gown, Kate donned the Fife Fringe Tiara, a diamond headpiece that was gifted to Princess Louise of Wales by her parents – later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra – on the occasion of her wedding to the 1st Duke of Fife in 1889. The tiara has seen a host of historic royal nuptials across the decades, with Princess Louise wearing it as a necklace to the wedding of her brother, the future King George V, and Mary of Teck in 1893. Similarly, Louise, as Princess Royal, wore the jewels around her neck to Windsor Castle when she attended the wedding of her cousin, Princess Margaret of Connaught, to Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden in 1905.
