Queen Elizabeth’s grandson Peter Phillips marries fiancée Harriet Sperling in fairytale wedding
Queen Elizabeth’s grandson Peter Phillips is a married man once again.
Peter exchanged vows with his now-wife Harriet Sperling in a quiet ceremony on Saturday at All Saints Church in Kemble, which is located in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, reports People.
The happy couple tied the knot in front of several members of the royal family including King Charles and Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Edward and Sophie.
Peter’s mother, Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, and Peter’s sister, Zara Tindall, and her husband, Mike Tindall, were also in attendance.
It’s worth noting that Prince Harry, Peter’s uncle Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, were not invited to the family event.
Earlier this week, royal commentator Emily Nash exclusively told Page Six that Harry was excluded from the invite list due to a lack of relationship with Peter, 48.
“I think it comes down to interpersonal relationships, doesn’t it?” Nash said. “What we were told was that Peter hadn’t spoken to Harry for the last few years. And so it sort of has been a natural cooling off and he wasn’t invited as a result.”
Still, Nash described Peter as “very close” with Prince Harry despite the snub.
“[Peter is] very loyal; he’s very protective. He’s been a very good sounding board to his cousin over the years,” Nash said.
“So it absolutely makes sense that I think had both Wales brothers been there, it would have put a completely different slant on the whole event.”
“And that’s not what you want on what should be the happiest day of your life, right?” she added.
Peter was previously married to Autumn Kelly from 2008 until they called it quits in 2020, making him the first of the Queen’s grandchildren to remarry. He is father to two daughters — Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14 — both of whom he shares with Kelly.
Harriet was also previously married to fitness instructor Antonio St. John Sperling. They share a 13-year-old daughter, Georgina. All three girls were in attendance at the wedding.
