The smart set’s talking about... Morwenna’s bittersweet day
HER family’s home is Knebworth, the stately pile in Hertfordshire where rockers including the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and Oasis have performed in its grounds.
So Burberry model and DJ Morwenna Lytton Cobbold’s wedding was always likely to be a lively affair.
I hear that it was, however, also a poignant occasion as her beloved grandfather Lord (David) Cobbold, 84, is in failing health.
‘He was frail, but delighted to be there,’ a family friend tells me.
Morwenna, 32, exchanged vows with stylist Phil Bush, who used to sing with rockers Cazals. She was given away by her father, screenwriter Henry Cobbold (pictured), who has been running Knebworth House with his American wife, Martha. ‘Heart as big as the moon,’ Henry says proudly.
At Morwenna’s raucous hen do in March, she enjoyed ‘crowd-surfing’ on top of her friends, as well as getting behind the decks to perform as DJ and posing with a rather rude-shaped pizza.
Morwenna’s colourful grandpa was often seen jousting at Knebworth, in full chain mail as ‘David of Knebworth’, well into his 70s.
