Two women have been arrested after orange powder paint was sprayed into the air as the Duke of Westminster and his new wife left Chester Cathedral after their wedding.
Hugh Grosvenor, the godson of King Charles III, married Olivia Henson at the cathedral earlier, with Prince William serving as an usher in their wedding party.
Campaign group Just Stop Oil said two of its supporters had used the devices to project powder paint near the entrance as the newlyweds made their way to a car.
Cheshire Police said a 69-year-old from Manchester and a 73-year-old from Suffolk had been arrested on suspicion of public order offences and remained in custody.
