Royals turn out for Peter Phillips and NHS nurse's wedding

The wedding of Peter Phillips, son of the Princess Royal, took place in a private ceremony at All Saints Church in Kemble, Gloucestershire, on Saturday. Among the attendees were King Charles and Queen Camilla, who were warmly welcomed by crowds of well-wishers gathered outside the church. Alongside them were several members of the royal family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, Zara and Mike Tindall, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice arrived with their husbands, Jack Brooksbank and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, joining the celebrations. Public interest was high, with visitors coming from around the world to witness the event. The arrival of William and Kate at the church was met with enthusiastic applause. To manage the crowd, metal barriers had been set up, creating designated areas for the media and the public, while road closures were put in place around the venue.

The bride, NHS nurse Harriet Sperling, entered the church accompanied by her three bridesmaids as well as Phillips’ children Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14, along with Sperling’s teenage daughter Georgina. Cheers broke out as she appeared, reflecting the joy of those gathered.

Phillips and Sperling started their relationship in 2024 following his separation from his first wife, Autumn Kelly, in 2020. The couple’s engagement was publicly announced in August last year. The wedding day coincided with the Epsom Derby, prompting the King and Queen to travel directly from the ceremony to the racecourse, where they were scheduled to present the trophy to the winning horse.
