Prince Charles's godson Nicholas Knatchbull has quietly married his 'mermaid' fiancee, I can reveal.
The son and heir of Earl Mountbatten of Burma wed Ambre Pouzet — who was once a 'mer-lesque' artiste, or performing mermaid, under the surname Saint-Clare — after a two-and-a-half-year engagement.They married at his family's stately home, Broadlands, in a civil ceremony conducted by a registrar on May 20, 2021, their marriage certificate shows. The Mail this week obtained the public document certifying their union from the Hampshire Record Office. It gives Nicholas's occupation as 'music producer and gardener' and Ambre's as 'behavioural therapist'. He is thought to do gardening work at Broadlands in Romsey, Hampshire, where the couple live in a nearby cottage.
Newlyweds Nicholas, who turned 40 five days before the wedding, and Ambre, whose 37th birthday was last Saturday, were photographed together wearing their wedding rings on a recent stroll around Winchester. Tattooed former drug addict Nicholas uses the names Deep N Beeper and Five Dimensional Nick in his work as a musician. He wore a T-shirt with a skull design and the motto 'will to win', tracksuit trousers and trainers, and slung his hoodie over his shoulder. Ambre wore a black dress, denim jacket and trainers, and carried a large tote bag and a face mask.
The marriage certificate also shows that Ambre's father is a retired manager of a rental company and her late mother was a retail manager. One of the witnesses is thought to have been a make-up artist friend of Ambre's. Nicholas, who was educated at Eton, where he helped to mentor the young Prince William, has never wanted to use his courtesy title, Lord Romsey. The marriage means Ambre, who is French and has lived in England for four years, could one day become the next Countess Mountbatten. But at the moment the new title he has been calling her by is 'wifey'.
Nicholas, engaged three times before, describes himself and Ambre as the 'dynamic duo'. Her work as a mermaid included giving performances which involved donning a custom-made Swarovski crystal-encrusted mermaid tail for underwater shows and photoshoots.
