Prince William is stepping into a special role at the British society wedding of the year.

The Prince of Wales, 41, served as an usher at the nuptials of his friend Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, to Olivia Henson, the new Duchess of Westminster, at Chester Cathedral in northern England on June 7. Ushers are traditionally among the first to arrive at a wedding, tasked with welcoming guests and guiding them to their seats.

While the heir to the throne is usually seen arriving at formal events in State Cars or carriages, William opted for a more low-key approach for the occasion. In a video captured by the Mail on Sunday, he was seen arriving with other guests in a Sprinter van and quietly entered the cathedral through a side entrance.
The Duke of Westminster is the richest person in the U.K. under age 40 (with a reported family net worth of $12.8 billion) and the chair of the Grosvenor Trustees and Westminster Foundation.
