Sarah Ferguson’s goddaughter has now married her bride in a lavish wedding celebration in Ibiza.
Eliza Dodd-Noble got engaged to Hannah Crockett in 2021. The Duchess of York, 63, offered her heartfelt congratulations at the time, saying: ‘Nothing gives my heart greater joy than to see young people happy.’
The loved up pair shared a kiss in front of guests, with photos from the ceremony showing both wearing stunning ivory dresses.
One described it as ‘a magical moment of love and pure happiness’.
Music producer Eliza, 35, and Hannah, 32, a U.S. food blogger, looked blissfully happy in photos from their big day.

Eliza’s aristocratic father, Paddy Dodd-Noble, is a close friend of Sarah’s. And Eliza and her sister, Daisy, are pals of her daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie.
However, while the mother of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie – affectionately known as Fergie – blessed the union, she was earlier this year ‘a bit confused’ not to have been at the civil ceremony in March.
Sarah was so delighted that her goddaughter had become engaged to her girlfriend, she claimed that she had already ‘bagged a seat’ at the nuptials.
The Mail on Sunday’s Diary Editor Emily Prescott revealed that Eliza’s godmother had then seemingly feared the wedding had taken place without her following the civil ceremony.
Thankfully it turned out that the Duchess of York was not snubbed after all. A source close to the newlyweds said the nuptials were only the legal wedding ceremony and that the larger four-day celebration, which Fergie was said to be invited to, was happening in Ibiza.
Eliza, who proposed to American Hannah at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles in July 2021, is one half of the electronic music duo Eli & Fur, along with fellow DJ Jennifer Skillman.
‘She said yes,’ Eliza gushed at the time.
No doubt, married life will keep Eliza’s appetites satisfied: Hannah is a passionate foodie and runs a recipe blog, The Simple Seagan, which she describes as ‘recipes for the vegan who sometimes eats seafood’.

Eliza’s aunt, Fiona Dodd-Noble, also said, delightedly: ‘We are thrilled.’
Given their illustrious credentials – they’ve played at several Christian Dior catwalk shows and teamed up with fashion brands such as Stella McCartney and The Kooples, there seems little doubt that the strung-out Spanish affair was a weekend of partying.
It comes as, last week, an excited Sarah let slip the due date of her daughter Eugenie – and it’s extremely close.
The Princess, 33, who welcomed her first son August two years ago, announced in January that she is expecting a second child with her husband Jack Brooksbank.
However she didn’t reveal the exact date she was expecting her new addition – simply writing on Instagram: ‘We’re so excited to share that there will be a new addition to our family this summer.’
Now it seems her mother has revealed that the baby is due in the coming days.

Speaking to Hello, Sarah Ferguson said: ‘We don’t know what it is yet. But the baby is due by the end of May, I think. So it’s any minute now.’
In the Instagram post announcing her pregnancy, Eugenie posted a photograph taken by her husband, showing her son August embracing her and kissing her bump in a field.
Prince Andrew’s youngest daughter and her husband Jack Brooksbank are already parents to two-year-old August.
During the interview with Hello, Prince Andrew’s ex-wife described herself as ‘one of the best grannies ever’, as she said she thinks ‘like a three-year-old’.
