While Alick may not come from the same aristocratic background as his fiancée, his family tree is still intertwined with the landed gentry.
The 30-year-old, whose full name is Alexander Bernard Molyneux Dru, is the son of Auberon Alexander Bernard Dru and Catherine Margaret Norden.
His father, Bernard, is a descendant of Major Alexander Dru and Gabriel Mary Hermione Herbert, tracing his lineage back to John Vesey, 4th Viscount de Vesci, and Henry Howard Molyneux Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon. Currently, Bernard and his wife run Bernard Dru Oak Ltd, a company specializing in high-quality oak flooring sourced sustainably from woodlands in the Haddeo Valley.
Alick's educational background includes attending Eton and studying History at Oxford. He embarked on various ventures, including founding the social travel app Tripr and establishing Spires Tutoring.
After a role on the M&A team at management consultancy Strategy&, he spent time as an investor at SoftBank Investment Advisers. Most recently, he founded a stealth startup, a company operating in stealth mode to manage public attention and safeguard information.
Lady Tatiana's passion for horses has been a prominent part of her life. Trained under Olympian Charlotte Dujardin, she attended the prestigious Millfield private school in Somerset.
While initially aspiring to be a ski instructor, Lady Tatiana now focuses on training dressage horses. Alongside her equestrian pursuits, she is also training to become a psychotherapist.
As Lady Tatiana embarks on this new chapter of motherhood, she continues to reside in Windsor, where she runs her horse yard and conducts dressage clinics.
