The inside story of the love match that has seen the son of Ireland’s most famous one-time press baron Tony O’Reilly marry the daughter of James Goldsmith, who famously said when a ‘man marries his mistress, he creates a vacancy’…
Cameron O’Reilly, son of former Irish press baron Tony O’Reilly, has married Jemima Goldsmith, daughter of businessman and politician James Goldsmith. Their wedding brought together two prominent families associated with media, business, politics and sport, while also highlighting the colourful and sometimes troubled histories of their fathers.
The ceremony was a second marriage for both, with Jemima’s sons from her marriage to Imran Khan giving her away and members of Cameron’s family joining the bridal party. Jemima wore Oscar de la Renta, while guests followed a formal blue-themed dress scheme; Imran Khan’s imprisonment and reported ill health provided a serious backdrop to the celebrations. Tony O’Reilly once became a billionaire through Heinz, Kerrygold and Independent News & Media, but later lost much of his fortune, while James Goldsmith retained his wealth and was known for his legal battles, political views and media ventures.
