Peter Phillips Marries Harriet Sperling in Private Cotswolds Ceremony

Organisers kept the day intimate to focus on family, control media attention, fit royal duties.

Overview

  • Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling were married in a private service at All Saints Church, Kemble on Saturday, June 6, 2026, followed by a reception at Gatcombe Park.
  • The ceremony was attended by senior royals including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Anne, Zara and Mike Tindall, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not attend and were reported not to be on the guest list, and Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were also absent amid reputational concerns surrounding the wider family.
  • Harriet Sperling wore a high‑neck lace gown by Emilia Wickstead, carried a bouquet featuring myrtle and lily of the valley, reportedly wore the Pragnell family tiara, and was accompanied by three teenage bridesmaids: Savannah Phillips (15), Isla Phillips (14) and Georgina (13/14).
  • The couple, who went public in 2024 and announced their engagement in August 2025, used established royal planners and a small local church to emphasise blended‑family ties and keep media attention low while senior royals balanced attendance with official duties such as the King and Queen’s trip to the Epsom Derby.
