While the reason the Earl did not walk Kitty down the aisle hasn't been made public, he did reveal last month in an
interview with MSN that he was suffering from a painful shoulder injury which was affecting his freedom of movement.
The 57-year-old, who had hoped to accompany divers on an expedition that would have looked for evidence from the sinking of The White Ship, the subject of his bestselling book, shared that his doctor advised him not to undertake the dive.
He said: "It sounds like a pretty feeble excuse but is really quite painful and unpleasant. I asked my doctor ‘can I dive?’ and he said, 'only if you want to drown'. I decided that would be taking the authenticity of the adventure too far."
No doubt his children were delighted that he chose not to take the risky trip!
