In a dazzling celebration of love and family, Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne, and Harriet Sperling have officially tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at All Saints Church in Kemble, near Cirencester. The nuptials were graced by King Charles, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and members of the extended royal family including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Harriet, 45, looked radiant in a white Emilia Wickstead gown paired with the Pragnell family diamond tiara, a priceless heirloom worn by generations of British royals. Her elegant hairstyle and delicate Jimmy Choo shoes perfectly complemented the look, while her bridal bouquet of sweet peas, myrtle, and lily of the valley, crafted by renowned florist Millie Richardson, symbolized love, beauty, and peace. She was escorted down the aisle by her brother Nicholas in honor of their late father, Rupert Sanders.
Peter, 48, and Harriet sealed their vows with a kiss outside the church, with their three bridesmaids—including Harriet’s daughter Georgina (14) and Peter’s children Isla (14) and Savannah (15)—carrying the bridal train and looking graceful in coordinated white floral dresses. Former wife Autumn Kelly was also in attendance, and the ceremony showcased the unity and warmth of blended family life.
Despite ongoing scrutiny surrounding members of the royal family, including financial controversies involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s daughters, the wedding highlighted joy, family bonds, and celebration. Prince William and Peter’s sister Zara Tindall shared friendly moments with the couple, emphasizing the closeness of the royal relatives present.
The service was led by Reverend Dr Steve Bullock, with the marriage blessing and address given by Reverend Nicky Gumbel. The floral arrangements and decorative archways, installed with a sustainable and eco-conscious approach, will be shared with the local community, honoring the support of residents who helped plan the day.
Following the ceremony, Peter and Harriet exited under a giant white umbrella to the cheers of 300 well-wishers, before making their way in a vintage Rolls Royce to the wedding reception at Gatcombe Park, home to The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence. Even intermittent rain couldn’t dampen the excitement, as the couple and their family shared an unforgettable day filled with love, laughter, and royal glamour.
The event stood as a testament to timeless traditions, family unity, and the enduring magic of a royal celebration, leaving guests and fans alike inspired by the elegance and heartfelt joy of the Phillips-Sperling union.
