Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne, has announced that he and his fiancée Harriet Sperling, an NHS nurse, have set a wedding date. The couple is planning to tie the knot on Saturday, June 6 in a private ceremony at All Saints Church in Kemble, Cirencester. The families of both Peter and Harriet have been informed of the wedding date through invitations.
The royal couple has shared that key members of the royal family, including the King, Queen, Prince of Wales, and Princess of Wales, have been notified of the upcoming wedding. More details about the event will be disclosed in the coming days.
Peter, who is the eldest grandchild of the late Queen and a nephew of King Charles, had publicly announced his engagement to Harriet in August. While the guest list for the wedding remains undisclosed, it is expected that Peter’s mother, Anne, his father Captain Mark Phillips, his sister Zara Tindall, and brother-in-law Mike will attend.
Possible attendees from the royal family may include Princes William and Harry, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor, and James, the Earl of Wessex. Notably, Peter’s aunts and uncles like Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson are unlikely to attend due to their estrangement from the Royal Family.
Peter, who is 19th in line to the throne, was previously married to Autumn Kelly, with whom he shares two daughters, Isla and Savannah. Following his divorce, he began a relationship with Harriet, an NHS paediatric nurse, who has a teenage daughter named Georgia.
Harriet, originally from Gloucestershire, will be marrying Peter close to her hometown. She has openly discussed her Christian faith, which has been a source of strength for her as a single parent.
The couple made their public debut in 2024 at the Badminton Horse Trials and later appeared together at Royal Ascot. Their engagement was officially confirmed with a statement expressing joy from both families and the royal circle. Peter’s past relationships, including his marriage to Autumn, were highlighted, indicating a complex personal history.
Despite living a relatively private life on Anne’s Gatcombe Park estate, Peter and his family were regular attendees at royal events. Following his separation from Autumn in 2019 and subsequent divorce in 2021, Peter and Harriet’s wedding announcement marks a new chapter in their relationship.
