Via The Keyhole, presenter Loyd Grossman, 73, who is also worth £50million in pasta sauce, marries Melissa Knatchbull, 63, the ex-wife of Michael, grandson of Earl Mountbatten of Burma, reveals EDEN CONFIDENTIAL

Famous for his catchphrase “Who lives in a house like this?” —Loyd Grossman will undoubtedly wake up today with a feeling of pure marital bliss in his own home.

As I’m delighted to reveal that the former Through The Keyhole host married Melissa Knatchbull this week; seven years after they made their relationship public.

Melissa, 63, ex-wife of Michael, grandson of Earl Mountbatten of Burma, had long remained silent about their union; She once told me: “I have a policy not to talk about my private life.”

However, the Four Weddings and a Funeral star is clearly a fan of Grossman’s nasal mid-Atlantic accent and perhaps also his pasta sauces which have earned him a fortune of £50million.

“We’re both very happy,” Grossman, 73, tells me. “We got engaged in Paris in November and got married at Chelsea Registry Office.”

After exchanging their vows, the newlyweds could be seen on the steps outside the old town hall sharing a hug, with Melissa dressed in a white pantsuit.

Does this mean she will wear pants in this union? Perhaps, like Grossman, who also used to “deliberate, reflect and digest” the performances of amateur cooks on the BBC’s Masterchef between 1990 and 2000, she has long had a soft spot for attractive, socially connected women.

He was married for 19 years to Deborah Puttnam with whom he has two daughters. Deborah is the daughter of Chariots Of Fire producer Lord Puttnam.

Then, in 2012, he fell in love with Lady Jane Wellesley, the daughter of the 8th Duke of Wellington, who once rejected a proposal from Prince Charles.

However, the Boston-born social climber has also amassed a considerable collection of awards and titles.

He is a member of several Worshipful companies, a member of several scientific societies, and holds four academic degrees.

He also has an OBE and a CBE and some honorary doctorates. And his rock band The New Forbidden has played Glastonbury eight times.

Hobbit star cut for sword theft

Having played a dwarf in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy, Richard Armitage was given a sword from Middle Earth.

However, the accessory did not feature prominently in his home, as Armitage, 52, reveals: “I had it locked away and it was stolen, and someone was trying to sell it.

‘Peter (Jackson) pulled me aside and said, “Are you in need of money?” I was like, “What are you talking about?” He said, “Your sword is for sale online.”

The Spooks star explains: “I had to go through this whole process of getting the police involved, but we got the sword back.

“Now it’s on a shelf in a very prominent place.”

Nicknamed “the Mick Jagger of auctions”, Simon de Pury once sold Picasso’s The Absinthe Drinker for £20.5 million (double the estimate) at Sotheby’s, where he was then chairman.

But will his colleagues be convinced by the Swiss auctioneer’s enthusiasm for artificial intelligence?

“I think AI could be fantastic for the art world,” he tells me. “We can organize auctions with avatars, doing it all themselves.” No tenant?

Esteemed actor Joseph Fiennes temporarily gives up greasepaint to explore the dangerous Athabasca Glacier in remote Canada.

However, at a cocktail party at London’s Ham Yard Hotel to launch his National Geographic film Return To The Wilds, Fiennes admitted of his travelogue series: “It’s scary to be exposed.” I prefer props, mustaches and scripts.

Lady Victoria: Why not have children after 50?

Lady Victoria Hervey is in no rush to use the eggs she froze eight years ago.

“They’re still there,” he tells me aboard the RH Three yacht on the French Riviera.

‘I’m 47 and Naomi Campbell did it when she was 50 and 53, so there’s still time. I actually got a reminder from them saying, “What are you doing with them?”

The socialite says the possibility of becoming a mother later in life is a good choice for parents and children.

“I know some people who had very young children and said, ‘I had a young child and I wasn’t really there for them.'”

The sister of the Marquess of Bristol adds: “If you become an older mother, you will be much more rooted, much more settled and you will be able to be there for them more.”

Dragons’ Den star Deborah Meaden never minces words with aspiring entrepreneurs on the hit BBC One show, but admits she was left speechless when she came face to face with wildlife presenter Sir David Attenborough .

“I started speaking in tongues,” says Meaden, who is worth an estimated £50m.

“He must have looked at me and thought, ‘How the hell did he make his money?’ I have no idea.’

He adds: “I’ve known him since then, so I hope he’s reconsidered who I am.” Hopefully.

Charles and Camilla say a fond farewell to their dear friend Chips

The King and Queen were present yesterday to support one of their “companions”, Lady Sarah Keswick, whose husband, Sir Chippendale “Chips”, died last month aged 84.

Her Majesty and Queen Camilla attended Chips’ memorial service at St Paul’s Church, Knightsbridge, London.

They arrived separately from her first husband, Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles, who made a solo appearance.

Dignitaries from the banking, sporting and political worlds filled the banks to pay tribute to Chips.

Among them were former Arsenal and England football captain Tony Adams and Sir Winston Churchill’s grandson Lord Nicholas Soames, who gave the address.

‘While Chips was a keen racing, shooting and fishing enthusiast, he was not an easygoing Bridge player. When things were bad, so was Chips,” he recalled.

Meanwhile, Their Majesties enjoyed a quiet arrangement of the Match of the Day theme at the end of the moving service.

No couple has mattered more to Camilla over the decades than the Keswicks. In fact, it was at Sarah’s 50th birthday party, held at the Ritz in 1995, that Prince Charles first appeared in public with Camilla.
