Just Stop Oil protestors "wedding crash" the Duke of Westminster
Extinction Rebellion affiliate disrupts society wedding
Two women arrested for spraying orange paint near Westminster and Fitzwilliams
The world's most eligible bachelor is officially off the market after getting married in a lavish society wedding. But the Duke of Westminster's big day was overshadowed by climate change protestors, who disrupted the ceremony and sprayed orange paint into the air.
Two women have been arrested after orange powder paint was sprayed into the air as the Duke of Westminster and his new wife, the former Ms. Francesca Schwarzenbach, left the church.
The environmental protest group Just Stop Oil said its activists had disrupted the Duke of Westminster's wedding to highlight the need to take action on climate change.
In a statement, the group said: "We are here today to disrupt this wedding because we cannot stand by and watch as the planet is destroyed. The Duke of Westminster is one of the richest men in the world, and he has the power to make a real difference in the fight against climate change. But he is choosing to ignore the crisis and continue to profit from the destruction of our planet."
The Duke of Westminster is a billionaire property developer. He is the owner of the Grosvenor Group, one of the largest property companies in the world. The Grosvenor Group owns a number of high-profile properties in London, including Buckingham Palace and the Savoy Hotel.
The Duke of Westminster's wedding was one of the most high-profile weddings of the year. It was attended by a number of celebrities and royals, including Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The disruption of the wedding by Just Stop Oil activists is likely to reignite the debate about climate change and the role of the wealthy in taking action to address the crisis.
