Cressida's husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley is Lady Tatiana's step-brother and they wed in 2020. She arrived at the venue wearing a loose-fitted pleated skirt and dark blue jacket alongside Bella Buchanan, the granddaughter of the late TV presenter Nicholas Parsons and her boyfriend Harry, Earl of Medina, who is lady Tatiana's brother.

Tatiana shares the Queen's passion for horses and once wanted to be a ski instructor but now works training dressage horses.
On her website, Tatiana admits, "All you really need to know is that I spend every day doing what I love more than anything in the world; riding horses.
"I'm a professional dressage rider based in Windsor. Here, I train a couple of my own horses and some horses which have been put in training with me by some wonderful people who have trusted me with the education and career of their horse.
"I hold monthly dressage clinics at home in West Sussex, Great Trippetts Polo Club to be more precise."
