The British press - well, the Daily Mail and Taki - have been
following this story for a while. We seem to have been caught flat-
footed. I last noticed her relationship with Lord John Somerset some
years back...

I just looked up the couple, and realize that they've been stepping
out together for a while. Of course, with the bride-to-be's previous
record, one could'nt say whether the relationship would lead to
marriage...

To the surprise of her many admirers 22-year-old society beauty Rose
Hanbury has started stepping out with flamboyant socialite the
Marquess of Cholmondeley, one of England's most eligible bachelors.
[snip]
So could Rose, who is signed to prestigious model agency Storm, entice
him down the aisle? Intriguingly, the pair met at a party in Tuscany
hosted by Rose's former fiancé, the Earl of Lambton's eco-warrior
grandson Fred.
Since that ephemeral teenage engagement, however, Rose has displayed a
healthy interest in the more mature man, once dating 41-year-old
record producer Lord John Somerset, son of the Duke of Beaufort.

Rose-tinted spec?
Mischievous playboy diarist Taki Theodoracopulos set tongues wagging
with the "
Wedding bells? Party girl Rose Hanbury" altruistic suggestion in his
Spectator column that beguiling party girl Rose Hanbury is 'soon to
become a major marchioness'.
[snip]
But Taki tells me: 'Why shouldn't they marry? He's a nice guy and
wants a wife. Plus, she likes him, and not just because he is a
marquess.'

London Standard recent article
http://74.125.153.132/search?q=cache:http://londonersdiary.standard.co.uk/2009/06/rocksavage-finally-weds-english-rose.html
says they've been dating for three years, so not a short-lived
relationship...
According to his friends, it will be a small civil ceremony.
Hope this helps for those interested in the story.
