The family of Tetra Pak heir Hans Rausing has seen its fair share of tragedy over the past decade.
But there was a happy new chapter yesterday when the philanthropist gave his daughter away at her fairy-tale wedding.
Lucy Rausing, 24, married photographer Constantin Kirwan-Taylor at the tiny St Mary’s Church next to her father’s £12 million estate near Tetbury.
Lucy Rausing was married to Constantin Kirwan-Taylor on the 7th of September at the church of St. Mary’s
Lucy’s ‘fairytale’ wedding took place in Lasborough Gloucestershire, she was given away by her father Hans Kristian Rausing
The bride looked stunning in a full-length gown as she entered the church on the arm of Hans, 57.
And Lucy and her groom couldn’t hide their delight when they emerged after the ceremony and headed to her father’s 11th Century manor house for the celebrations.
Lucy’s mother Eva died seven years ago, aged 48, following a drugs binge at the family’s £70 million Belgravia townhouse.
Hans, who like his late wife was a drug addict at the time, failed to report Eva’s death for two months and he was later given a suspended ten-month prison term for preventing her lawful and decent burial.
Lucy and her three siblings had previously been sent to live with their aunt, Sigrid Rausing, as their parents’ lives descended into chaos.
Food-packaging giant Tetra Pak was founded by Lucy’s great-grandfather Ruben. The family has an estimated £6 billion fortune.
