Sarah Ferguson was so delighted that her goddaughter Eliza Dodd-Noble had become engaged to girlfriend Hannah Crockett, she claimed that she had already ‘bagged a seat’ at the nuptials.
So it is no wonder Fergie was ‘a bit confused’ when she saw photographs from their civil ceremony this week, which seemed to have taken place without her.
I can reveal that musician Eliza married food blogger Hannah in Los Angeles last weekend.
When I asked Fergie about this, she admitted that she thought the wedding was taking place in Ibiza – and in May.
Thankfully it turns out that the Duchess of York, 63, was not snubbed after all, and will be able to enjoy her weekend away.

A source close to the newlyweds tells me the nuptials were only the legal wedding ceremony and that the larger four-day celebration, which Fergie is invited to, is happening in Ibiza this summer.
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.
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 will be a weekend of partying.
Missing out on Eliza and Hannah’s legal wedding across the pond in Los Angeles might have denied Fergie the chance to spend time with nephew Harry and wife Meghan, who live fewer than two hours drive away from where it took place.
Last week the Duchess showed her diplomatic side when she revealed that she had made ‘no judgment’ over the Sussexes stepping back from the Royal Family.
