Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Celebrate Wedding on Denis O’Brien’s 90m Yacht in Sicily

A civil ceremony in London was followed by multi-day celebrations in Palermo and Bagheria, capped by time aboard Denis O’Brien’s yacht Nero, which rents for €490,000 a week.
An 18th-century villa hosted another ceremony, while festivities included Elton John performing “Your Song,” a marching band and a pop-up bookshop that filled an entire city square.
Local media tracked the 90m yacht’s movements and reported the couple likely spent the night aboard after leaving Bagheria following the celebrations.
Closed piazzas and disruption to Palermo’s evening passeggiata irritated some residents, prompting what officials described as a “cultural gift” from Lipa and her husband.
