Jemima Goldsmith Marries Cameron O'Reilly
The daughter of late financier Sir James Goldsmith wed Tony O'Reilly's son in a ceremony marked by familial irony.
Jemima Goldsmith, daughter of the late financier Sir James Goldsmith, married Cameron O'Reilly, son of Irish press baron Tony O'Reilly, in a ceremony this week. The union has drawn attention due to the notable backgrounds of both families and past public statements by Jemima's father.
Sir James Goldsmith, who amassed a fortune as the head of Cavenham Foods, famously quipped, "When a man marries his mistress, he creates a vacancy." This observation has been highlighted by commentators in light of the circumstances of his daughter's wedding.
Cameron O'Reilly's father, Tony O'Reilly, was once one of Ireland's most prominent businessmen, with his wealth estimated at IR£1 billion at one point. The marriage brings together two families with significant legacies in media and finance.
Details regarding where the newlyweds will reside have not yet been disclosed. Jemima Goldsmith's sons from a previous marriage, Kasim and Sulaiman, were present and reportedly gave her away at the ceremony. The couple is understood to have met through their involvement in documentaries and films.
