Rupert Murdoch was snapped at his granddaughter Charlotte Freud’s wedding to Luke Storey this weekend.
The billionaire media tycoon, 91, who donned a white suit for the Cotswold event, was just one of the prolific guests celebrating the couple as they tied the knot.
Despite Murdoch’s fourth divorce current being underway, after his estranged wife Jerry Hall filed divorce papers in an LA court on Friday, he was seen mingling with other attendees.
Some 70 guests celebrated Charlotte’s marriage to rapper Luke Storey, including the bride’s mother business woman Elisabeth Murdoch, who also donned a white suit, and her third husband, artist Keith Tyson.
Another of Rupert Murdoch’s children, Charlotte’s uncle James, joined the family at the ceremony in a Norman church in the West Oxfordshire village of Westwell.
Sarah Murdoch, wife of media mogul Lachlan, was also in attendance in a bright red ensemble.

James, who left the board of the family business, News Corporation, in 2020 after a disagreement over content, arrived wearing a long collarless shirt or kurta, normally worn in South Asia. His wife Kathryn and their three children were also among guests.
Also snapped arriving at St Mary’s Church in Burford was Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman, who sported a black gauze dress, paired with an oversized black blazer, for the event.
Charlotte’s father PR guru Matthew Freud, was also on the guest list, and was snapped walking into the church, sporting a burgundy suit paired with black and blue trainers and a blue tie.
Matthew Freud, who raised Charlotte with his former wife Elisabeth Murdoch, the media mogul’s second daughter, is the great-grandson of Sigmund Freud and nephew of Lucian Freud who founded esteemed PR film Freud Communications.
He is worth an estimated £170million.
His first wife Caroline Hutton, with whom he shares two children, went on to marry the Earl Spencer, Diana, Princess of Wales’ brother.

The bride, 22, who has restyled herself as singer Tiarlie, got engaged to DJ Lukey Storey, 36, in July last year — three years after meeting at London private members club Laylow.
Groom Luke popped the question while the pair were on holiday in Greece.
The couple integrated their alternative style into their wedding looks, with Charlotte opting for a lace a-line dress with a daring lace bodice and sweetheart neckline.
Her long black tresses, with lilac streaks, was styled into a half-up, half-down do, with some of her hair shaped into space buns on top of her head.
She paired a heavy eye look with clear, fresh skin, and a natural pink lip.
Meanwhile, the groom sported a complementary black and white hairdo. For his outfit, he chose a smart dark blue three-piece suit, which he wore with a red shirt, and oxblood shoes.

Rupert Murdoch’s appearance at the wedding may have surprised some onlookers, as he is currently going through a divorce from his estranged wife Jerry Hall.
She filed divorce papers at an LA court on Friday.
Ms Hall’s petition claims their marriage broke down through irreconcilable differences. Reports suggested she blames the Murdoch children for wrongly believing she had tried to cut their ties with him.
Miss Freud, 21, who has launched a pop career using the name Tiarlie, arrived in a Bentley Continental convertible, driven to St Mary’s church by her father, the PR guru Matthew Freud.
After the 50-minute service guests were driven to a lavish reception on Elisabeth Murdoch’s estate nearby.
Both Mr Freud, 58 and Elisabeth, 53, have a reputation for throwing extravagant parties.

Residents of the picture-perfect village recently found their lanes patrolled by poker-faced security men while a small army of builders buzzed around a huge marquee at Elizabeth’s home.
Last month residents received hand-delivered letters advising them that there would be a ‘sizeable’ wedding reception with party music. One local joked: ‘They unfortunately forgot to include an invitation for us to go along. But at least they let us know and we can close the windows.’
Charlotte grew up in the UK, shifting between family homes in London and Suffolk, and is one of 13 grandchildren on the Murdoch side of her family through her mother, Elisabeth.
Luke’s mother is British artist and designer Helen Storey, whose father was award-winning novelist David Storey – who won the Booker Prize in 1976 for his novel Saville.
Charlotte, who has been open about her previous drug use, told Tatler last year that the the pair were both addicts when they met at the west London private members club – where Luke was DJ and Tiarlie was working as a hostess having dropped out of school.

She said the couple had an ‘immediate obsession’ with each other, but admitted ‘it was kind of a mad relationship, we were kind of just using buddies’.
When Luke joined a 12-step programme to tackle his addiction, the singer admitted she was devastated that he cut her out of her life because of her substance abuse.
Charlotte has long been a somewhat unexpected figure in her rich and privileged family.
Back in 2019, she told her Instagram followers her mother was worried about her fashion choices leading up to a family wedding. She said her mother even hired her a personal shopper to ensure the frock she chose wouldn’t show too much cleavage.
‘My grandma’s getting married, so mum’s sending me to a personal shopper to make sure I cover my t**s up for the ceremony,’ the then 18-year-old told her 6,548 followers.
She later shared some of the looks, with comments such as: ‘If I must look ridiculous in exchange for free champagne, so be it’ and ‘the s*** I do for this family, gawd.’
