A few notes: 

Alexander James Wilson(-) Nicol b. 1933, of Silverbeck, Churt, Farnham, Surrey; his wife (electoral roll gives 'Christiane') appears to be of the baronial family, with this source indicating that to be the case: https://www.msn.com/de-ch/unterhaltung/royals/prinz-harry-erneut-am-traualtar-jetzt-wird-er-trauzeuge/ar-AAyf5CZ

Daughter's full name Alexandra Ulrikke (Wilson-) Nicol. Company records and electoral roll show the first name 'Dixie', presumably a nickname as not on birth record.

Philip Richard Jenks seems to have been a publisher and director of several companies.
