Weeks after announcing the happy news that they are expecting their first child, The Duke and Duchess of Westminster have been pictured on a very special tour of the University of Chester. The couple, who married in the city last summer, were invited to the university to learn what it has to offer its students.

During their visit, the VIP visitors were taken on a tour around the Queen’s Park campus in Handbridge and had the opportunity to see the Chester Business School, as well as being able to explore facilities in the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Society. It was an exciting day for the couple as they geared up to welcome their baby later on this year.

Following on from their visit, Vice-Chancellor Professor Eunice Simmons said: “I was delighted to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Westminster to the University. The visit was an informal opportunity to show them some of the university’s outstanding facilities and to discuss how we contribute positively to the region and beyond.”

Adding his own thanks, The Duke of Westminster, who is Prince George and Prince Archie's godfather, said: “It was a pleasure for Olivia and I to visit the University of Chester and see first-hand the amazing facilities and inspiring work taking place there.

“From the Business School’s regional and international engagement to the cutting-edge medical training technologies, the University is playing a vital role in shaping future professionals and contributing to both the local community and global education.”

The visit comes after the happy couple announced they are expecting their first child together.

In a statement released last month, a spokesperson for the couple said: "The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are very pleased to share that the Duchess is expecting a baby in the summer.

"The couple are delighted with the news and are very much looking forward to starting a family together."
