Members of the Royal Family gathered in a charming countryside setting to celebrate the wedding of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling. Notably absent from the event were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were reportedly not invited to the intimate ceremony, where Peter, 48, the son of Princess Anne, tied the knot with NHS nurse Harriet, 45, in the presence of senior royals like King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate.
The newlyweds appeared joyful as they exited the church after exchanging vows, sharing smiles with guests. The couple, who began their relationship in 2024, later enjoyed a celebration with family and friends near Princess Anne’s Gatcombe Park estate. Unlike previous royal weddings, Peter and Harriet opted for a smaller, more personal gathering, both having been married before.
Reports suggest that Prince Harry was not included in the guest list, despite his past close relationship with Peter. A friend close to the couple mentioned that Peter and Harry had lost touch over the years, leading to the exclusion. The absence of Harry and Meghan, along with other notable figures like Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, underscored the ongoing divisions within the Royal Family.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie made a notable appearance, marking their return to a major royal gathering since their father’s controversy. The presence of senior royals at Peter’s wedding highlighted the persistent rifts within the family, raising questions about reconciliation. Despite being far away in California, Harry and Meghan’s non-attendance is likely to revive discussions on resolving longstanding family conflicts.
