The royal family is gathering to celebrate the marriage of Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, to NHS nurse Harriet Sperling. The wedding is taking place in Kemble, near Cirencester in Gloucestershire, with many senior royals in attendance, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the King and Queen.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were also present, marking their first appearance at a major royal event since their father’s arrest. The sisters have recently faced scrutiny over not paying rent for their palace homes, with the King covering the expenses.
Notably, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not attend the wedding. Reports suggest that Harry and Peter Phillips, who were once close, have drifted apart, especially with Harry’s relocation to the US and his public criticisms of the royal family.
The bride, Harriet, arrived in a stunning white wedding gown accompanied by her daughters and Peter’s daughters, who served as bridesmaids. The ceremony is set to begin shortly at All Saints Church in Kemble.
Various members of the royal family, including Prince William and Princess Kate, have been spotted at the wedding venue despite the rainy weather. The event marks a significant gathering for the royals, with many notable attendees expected to join in the celebration.
