As the daughter of Le Mans winner Johnny Dumfries, Lady Caroline Crichton-Stuart knows a thing or two about champagne celebrations.
And when she got engaged to artist and model Hetty Douglas in 2022, her fiancee declared: ‘Get ready for a big gay wedding.’
Now, however, I learn that Lady Caroline – whose father the 7th Marquess of Bute, died in 2021 aged 62 – has called off the wedding.
‘It just wasn’t meant to be,’ a friend tells me.
‘They thought they wanted to be together forever, but ultimately realised they weren’t right for each other long-term.’
Hetty, 33, who describes herself as a ‘London-based lesbian painter’, proposed to Lady Caroline, 40, on the Spanish party island of Ibiza, while they were on holiday with friends including top model Cara Delevingne.
‘She said yes!’ Hetty gushed at the time.
She had caused a social media storm in 2017 by mocking scaffolders in a McDonald’s by suggesting they only managed ‘one GCSE’ between them.

After Hetty was branded a ‘snob’ online, a friend claimed she had been reacting to the construction workers verbally abusing restaurant staff.
Lady Caroline, whose mother is the marquess’s first wife, Carolyn Waddell, has a son, Ben, aged eight, from a previous relationship.
She has not wasted any time being single.
‘They feel they made the right choice to end things,’ the pal says.
‘They’re already seeing other people.’
The marquess’s daughter is now going out with producer Biba Thomas, who has made music videos for global stars such as Calvin Harris and Sam Fender.
‘Biba has already met Caroline’s family and friends and they love her,’ the source adds.
‘She could be The One.’

Mick Jagger tried it on with ME while he was with Jerry Hall, claims Jo Wood, ex-wife of the Rolling Stones star’s bandmate Ronnie Wood
Marianne Faithfull was the long-term girlfriend of Mick Jagger when she was seduced by his Rolling Stones bandmate Keith Richards.
Now, Jo Wood, who was married to Stones’ guitarist Ronnie Wood, has revealed that Sir Mick once made a pass at her.
‘He certainly tried it on with me, and I used to get mad with him,’ says Jo, 70, on the Loving & Living podcast with broadcasters Lizzie Cundy and Mike Parry.
‘I said, ‘In your wildest dreams, Mick Jagger’. He had Jerry [Hall] as his girlfriend at the time.’
Jo adds: ‘Mick loves women and it doesn’t make him a bad person, but I just didn’t fancy him at all.’
Texan model Jerry Hall, 68, branded the Stones singer, 81, a sexual predator in her autobiography.
Richards admitted he made his move on Faithfull to gain revenge on Jagger, who had enjoyed a fling with Anita Pallenberg, Richards’ girlfriend at the time.
Richards claims he has never been a jealous man, but he wrote the Stones’ song Gimme Shelter — with the lyrics ‘Oh, a storm is threat’ning, My very life today; If I don’t get some shelter, Oh yeah, I’m gonna fade away’ — on a stormy day when Anita was clearly falling for Jagger.

‘It was ‘not the first time that we’d been in competition for a bird’, Richards wrote in his 2010 autobiography, Life, adding: ‘It was like two alphas fighting. Still is, quite honestly.’
His revenge in bedding Marianne — which he says happened only once — was interrupted when Jagger returned home early.
Their ‘hot and sweaty’ episode was cut short as Richards ‘did one out the window’ clutching his clothes, although he accidentally left his socks behind.
He revealed: ‘Marianne and I still have this joke. She sends me messages: ‘I still can’t find your socks.’
In his memoirs, Richards summed up the bed-hopping pantomime of the 1960s with a bravado taunt to Jagger: ‘I was knocking Marianne, man. While you’re missing it, I’m kissing it.’
In a final stab, he mocked Jagger’s sexual prowess, saying Pallenberg found the singer under-endowed and ‘had no fun with the tiny todger’.
Pallenberg died in 2017 at the age of 75, while Faithfull, who shot to fame in 1964 with her version of the Stones song As Tears Go By, died in January aged 78.
