Jean-Christophe, who works in London, is Napoleon Bonaparte's great-great-great nephew. Olympia is the great-granddaughter of Karl I of Austria.

Plenty of royal guests, including Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi to Prince Christian de Hanover and the Grande Duke of Luxembourg were on hand to help them celebrate their big day.
