Zac Goldsmith, 50, married Hermione “Hum” Fleming, 35 — a great‑niece of James Bond creator Ian Fleming — in a Cotswolds church service that drew several high‑profile guests, including former prime minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie Johnson and former culture secretary Nadine Dorries.
The wedding took place in the village of Longborough after a last‑minute change of venue from a church in nearby Stow‑on‑the‑Wold. A guest said the switch came at the “eleventh hour” because the bride’s mother preferred a smaller, cosier church. The ceremony was scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.
Fleming, a PR executive known as Hum, arrived in a simple, off‑the‑shoulder white Vivienne Westwood gown with her long blonde hair swept back into a ponytail. She was accompanied into the church by flower girls in traditional bridesmaid dresses and floral headdresses; her twin sister Chloe made the floral headdress referenced by guests. The bride celebrated a hen party in June where she wore a cream sequinned jumpsuit and tongue‑in‑cheek “bride‑to‑be” sunglasses.
Goldsmith, a father of six who has been married twice before, arrived earlier on the day in morning dress and was accompanied to the ceremony by his daughter Uma, who wore white. Friends and acquaintances from political and cultural circles attended the nuptials.
Guests described a relaxed, intimate service after the venue change. One guest said the decision to move to Longborough was driven by the bride’s family preference for a smaller church setting.
The marriage links Goldsmith, a public figure known for his involvement in public life, to the family of Ian Fleming, whose spy novels remain a notable part of British cultural history. The couple’s choice of a relatively low‑key village ceremony in the Cotswolds contrasted with the public profiles of some attendees, underscoring a private celebration amid notable company.
After the ceremony, guests departed from the Longborough church for post‑service celebrations. Organisers and family members did not immediately provide further comment on the couple’s plans following the wedding.
