Roald Dahl’s Grandson Divorces Princess Raiyah and Marries US TikToker

The split was reported privately and followed by a small Somerset wedding as Donovan relocates to the United States and pursues a career in policing.

Overview

  • Multiple society outlets report that Ned Donovan has quietly divorced Princess Raiyah of Jordan and married American social-media figure Megan Tomlin in a small ceremony in Somerset last week.
  • Guests at the wedding included family and close friends such as his half-sister Sophie Dahl and godfather Sir Nicholas Coleridge, and reporting places the couple now living in Charleston, South Carolina.
  • Donovan, 32, who previously worked as a journalist, has given up his UK reporting career and is reported to be working as a US police officer after being injured in 2024 while stopping a pickpocket near the Palace of Westminster.
  • Megan Tomlin is described in coverage as an American TikToker and dietitian with an active online presence, and the couple’s engagement was first shown on Tomlin’s social accounts in October 2025.
  • The story sits at the crossing of private family change and public interest given Donovan’s descent from Roald Dahl and Princess Raiyah’s royal profile, and it may prompt renewed scrutiny of how social and lifestyle media cover personal events for public figures.
