Prince Jaime of Bourbon-Two-Sicilies has tied the knot with Lady Charlotte Lindesay-Bethune in a stunning ceremony in southern Italy on Saturday.
The Duke of Noto married Lady Charlotte at The Cathedral of Monreale, nearby the town of Palermo, with the bride donning an elegant white gown featuring a lace bodice and a diamond and pearl tiara once belonging to Archduchess María Anna of Austria.
Charlotte, 28, is the youngest daughter of Scottish businessman James Lindesay-Bethune, 16th Earl of Lindsay, and Diana Mary Chamberlayne-Macdonald. The Duke, 29, is the heir apparent to Prince Pedro of Bourbon-Two-Sicilies and his wife, the former Doña Sofia.
The Royal House of Bourbon Two Sicilies – or Bourbon des Deux Siciles – is an ancient branch of the Spanish royal family which ruled parts of southern Italy for more than 100 years from 1734 to 1861. Its descendants still carry the name today, some 150 years later.
Among the high-profile guests was Princess Alexandra’s granddaughter Flora Ogilvy, the Duke and Duchess of Huéscar and the wedding was blessed by Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, a German cardinal of the Catholic Church.

Prince Pedro is a claimant to the now defunct throne of the former House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, a cadet branch of the Spanish royal family, which descends from the Capetian Dynasty and ruled over Southern Italy and Sicily during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Although the family has no official remit, they spend their time doing charity work and promoting the interest of Southern Italy.
The bride was a vision in white as she walked down the aisle in a sophisticated lace-detailed gown with a floor-length train and embroidered, long-sleeved bodice with transparent fabric revealing a separate white bodice with a sweetheart neckline underneath.
Her brown tresses were styled into a sleek up do, concealing her floor-length veil, and she accessorised her elegant look with a pair of pearl teardrop earrings.
