As the season of matrimony approaches, the eyes of the elite are focused on a forthcoming event in the Cotswolds. Billionaire heiress Eve Jobs, progeny of the late Steve Jobs who laid the foundation for Apple, and Harry Charles, Great Britain’s golden boy in equestrian sports, are set to exchange vows. This news broke following their year of secretive courtship that became public after their appearance at the previous year’s Olympics in Paris, where Charles had a triumphant win in team jumping.
The couple’s affairs remained mostly covert, though it’s speculated their mutual fondness for equestrian pastimes could’ve caused their paths to converge. The wedding is booked in the Cotswolds, a hub attracting the rich and famous such as the Beckhams, and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. Predictably enough, the attendees are expected to match the extravagance of the event.
While the attendance of Eve’s older siblings, Reed Jobs aged 33 and Erin Jobs aged 29, remains uncertain, it’s evident that Eve has allied herself with high-profile children of technology tycoons. This includes Jennifer and Phoebe Gates, offspring of Microsoft’s founder Bill Gates, as well as her acquaintance Lilli Hymowitz, scion of business magnate Gregg Hymowitz, who heads the investment firm EnTrust Global.
Her guest list also forecasts Kamala Harris, the former vice president of the United States. What might be startling to some is the irony of the situation. After all, there’s something peculiar about a public servant, especially one known for her claims championing the ‘average American,’ making an appearance at a billionaire’s wedding. For critics, it underlines the ostentatious lifestyle which has always troubled the picture perfect image she paints to the public.
Laurene Powell Jobs has fostered this bond with Kamala Harris for over two decades. The thought of a political heavyweight enjoying the comforts of a billionaire’s life whenever convenient raises questions about the authenticity of their ‘for the people’ stance. Whether that stance resonates with the oppressed class she so frequently claims to represent remains open to discussion.
But the spectacle doesn’t end here. Eve’s repute extends itself to real monarchical figures as well, with the fashion magazine Tatler hinting at Princess Beatrice’s presence.
Not to be outdone by his bride, Harry Charles is expected to dazzle the ceremony with his equally impressive network. His father, Peter Charles, brought glory to Britain by securing the nation’s first team jumping gold after six decades at the 2012 London Summer Olympics. Scott Brash and Ben Maher, his Olympic cohort who struck gold with him in Paris, might also join the nuptials.
Eve Jobs, long associated with the world of horse riding since her juvenile days at age six, is amongst the world’s top under-25 equestrians. Her fondness for equestrian activities is likely a shared interest with Harry, who basks in his father’s legacy, Peter Charles, the Olympic gold champion.
Her beloved Harry, along with his Team GB comrades Scott Brash and Ben Maher, was triumphant at the previous year’s Paris Olympics. The admiration and pride on Eve’s face during Harry’s victory was evident, suggesting their shared passion for equestrian sports.
Eve, who began her horse riding journey when she was merely six years old, has also made significant strides in her field, securing a bronze medal in the team event at the Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, in 2019. The joy in her eyes as she watched her soon-to-be husband win the gold medal at the previous Olympics showed her deep-rooted love for the sport.
As for the couple’s upcoming nuptials, uncertainty still surrounds the specifics. While most details of this high-status wedding remain under wraps, the information that has found its way to the public hints at a grand and extravagant affair. As the British summer deepens, the anticipation builds, with the countdown to the wedding of the year well on its way.
