Members of the British royal family gathered in Gloucestershire on Saturday as Peter Phillips married NHS nurse Harriet Sperling in a private ceremony at All Saints Church.
Among the distinguished guests were King Charles III and Queen Camilla, who were greeted by cheering crowds as they arrived at the church. The wedding also drew senior royals, including Prince William, Catherine, Princess of Wales, Zara Tindall, Mike Tindall, Prince Edward, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie.
The couple selected Kemble as their wedding location because Sperling previously lived in the village when they first met. The ceremony took place in the picturesque church at the heart of the rural Gloucestershire community.
Sperling arrived with three bridesmaids: Phillips’ daughters, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14, as well as her own teenage daughter, Georgina. Well-wishers gathered outside the church, applauding and cheering as members of the royal family arrived despite intermittent rain.
Phillips and Sperling began their relationship in 2024, several years after Phillips’ separation from his first wife, Autumn Kelly, in 2020. Their engagement was announced in August 2025.
The wedding coincided with the prestigious Epsom Derby, one of the highlights of the British horse racing calendar. Following the ceremony, King Charles and Queen Camilla were expected to travel to the racecourse, where the King was scheduled to present the winner’s trophy.
Residents and visitors from around the world lined the streets around the church to catch a glimpse of the royal guests. Local preparations included community clean-up efforts, special bell-ringing practice sessions, and road closures to accommodate the event.
Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, is currently 19th in the line of succession to the British throne. Unlike some of his royal relatives, he does not hold a royal title, making him the first grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II to marry.
The wedding provided a rare public gathering of senior royals and offered a celebratory occasion for the family amid a busy royal calendar.
