The couple got married in the Chapel Royal at historic Hampton Court Palace in 2009.
The actor, who also made a recent cameo in Wonka, said: “I didn’t know anyone at my wedding. My best friends were there, but basically it was full of faces I’d never seen before.
‘My mother-in-law, Princess Michael of Kent, personally took charge of everything and did it brilliantly, even down to the dress I wore.’

Lord Frederick married actress Sophie Winkleman at Hampton Court Palace in 2009. They met on a night out in Soho. Sophie is the half-sister of Strictly co-presenter Claudia Winkleman.
The car he was travelling in was dramatically thrown into the air before crashing, causing life-threatening injuries.
Freddie’s father, Prince Michael, is a first cousin of the late Queen, and the family grew up at Kensington Palace as close neighbours to Princes William and Harry.
Freddie showed academic promise at school, becoming an Oppidan Scholar at Eton College before going on to study Classics at Magdalen College, Oxford, graduating with a 2:1 in 2002.
But there was a time when the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent was known as a confirmed hedonist.
“He was constantly surrounded by girls, drank an aged Krug and had a cigar permanently hanging from his mouth,” said one observer of his youth.
At one point, Lord Frederick’s parents even forced him to visit a drug rehabilitation clinic to warn him of the possible consequences.
But after being caught using cocaine in his early twenties, Frederick – known as Freddie – vowed to focus on his studies and later married glamorous actress Sophie Winkleman, best known for her role in Peep Show.
