We reveal the REAL father of Schiffer's hubby as they wed. Now she's in line to become a countess
SUPERMODEL Claudia Schiffer yesterday wed at a pretty village church in the heart of the English countryside-and she could be on her way to becoming a proper English COUNTESS.
For the real father of the German stunner's bridegroom Matthew Vaughn is disgraced blueblood George Drummond, 58, the News of the World can reveal.
The flamboyant millionaire- full name George Albert Harley De Vere Drummond-is a godson of late King George VI and was born at Windsor Castle.
And he has told his 31-year-old film producer son that he stands to inherit one of the oldest titles in Britain.
Drummond is understood to be part of the ancient Heathcoate-Drummond-Willoughby family, which holds the 700-year-old title Baron Willoughby de Eresby.
Whoever has the barony also becomes the Joint Hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain of England-a very senior position within the royal household. He attends the Queen at state functions and walks backwards before her at the opening of parliament.
Drummond is also discussing another, extinct title with the Royal College of Arms. Members of his family used to hold the ancient Earldom of Oxford which passed through the Willoughby family-motto: My loyalty compels me.
Drummond has traced his roots back to Edward Harley, the second Earl of Oxford and hehas told friends the college will soon recognise him as the heir general to the earldom.
So Matthew could one day become Earl of Oxford...with Claudia as his Countess.
Yesterday Drummond was among a glittering array of stars who watched the 31-year-old beauty walk up the aisle of St George's church in Shimpling, Suffolk, close to the couple's £5million Coldham Hall manor house.
She wore a stunning Valentino ivory dress with a five-metre train and matching satin shoes made by Jimmy Choo.
Matthew, producer of Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, said "I Do" watched by pals Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones, who each starred in both movies, and pop queen Madonna's husband Guy Ritchie, who directed them.
Rock star Sting's wife Trudie Styler and tennis legend Boris Becker were also there. They were joined by Lady Helen Taylor and scriptwriter Richard Curtis with wife Emma Freud and baby Charlie. They will all be rocked by Matthew's aristocratic connections.
He had earlier been believed to be the son of Robert Vaughn, the star of sixties TV show Man From Uncle.
Robert, now 70, was living with Matthew's mum Kathy Ceaton, 54, when she gave birth. She changed her name to his. But the actor has now said that tests proved Matthew was NOT his son.
We can reveal Matthew was conceived during an affair between Kathy and Drummond, who went to jail two months after his son's birth.
Cheques
He was sentenced to four years for dishonestly handling £41,000 worth of stolen travellers' cheques.
Drummond had been left more than £1million when his dad George died. But he spent it all on high living.
After his release from jail he went to live in Barbados where he married Rachel, daughter of Jamaican prime minister Michael Manley.
He is also a former lover of Barbados beauty Linda Field, who was involved in a sex scandal with cricketer Ian Botham in 1986.
Claudia turned to Drummond's son for love after she split from Green Shield heir Tim Jeffries.
She spent the night before their wedding at a timbered hotel in the medieval village of Lavenham, Suffolk. She left for the church yesterday under a BLANKET and surrounded by security men.
Her spokesman said: "I can say only five words. It is a private wedding." But later an insider revealed: "Claudia looked beautiful."
And another said: "Matthew couldn't be happier. He knew Drummond as a child but had no idea he was his father. He always admired him. But he can't quite believe what he's been told about the family's heritage."
The wedding venue was kept a secret from the guests right up to the last minute.The service was conducted by the rector, the Rev Ian Friars. Later the bride and groom arrived at Coldham Hall- to find the 600-yard driveway spectacularly lit with torches.
Guests danced in a marquee and drank champagne until the early hours.But they were BANNED from taking photos.
Today they will play a football match in the grounds of the Elizabethan mansion. Claudia's German pals will don their national strip to play Matthew's English mates.
Tomorrow the couple leave for a secret honeymoon at a friend's villa.
If Claudia wins her title she will join a glittering list of stars including Princess Grace of Monacoand Jamie Lee Curtis, alias. Lady Haden-Guest.
