King Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to attend the
wedding of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling next week, in what
will be the latest development ahead of one of the most anticipated
royal family gatherings of the year.
The couple are due to marry on Saturday, 6 June, at All Saints
Church in the Gloucestershire village of Kemble, with preparations
underway for what is expected to be an intimate ceremony attended
by close family and friends.
Peter Phillips, the son of Anne, Princess Royal and Captain Mark
Phillips, announced his engagement to NHS nurse Harriet Sperling
last year after their relationship became public in 2024.
According to reports, the King and Queen are expected to be
among the guests as the royal family gathers to celebrate the
occasion.
The wedding will take place just hours before Their Majesties
are due to attend Derby Day at Epsom Downs, where they will watch
the running of the Betfred Derby as part of a longstanding royal
tradition.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are also expected to attend the
ceremony, potentially accompanied by their children, Prince George,
Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Other family members anticipated to be present include Princess
Anne and Sir Timothy Laurence, alongside Peter’s sister, Zara
Tindall, and her husband, Mike Tindall.
While an official guest list has not been released, reports
suggest the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh could also be among those
attending.
The wedding marks a significant milestone for Phillips, who is
the eldest grandchild of the late Elizabeth II and has largely
remained outside the spotlight despite his close ties to the Royal
Family.
Harriet Sperling has increasingly appeared alongside Peter at
public events over the past two years and has been warmly welcomed
into royal circles. She joined members of the Royal Family at
several high-profile engagements, including Royal Ascot and charity
events, following the public confirmation of their
relationship.
However, not every member of the extended royal family is
expected to be present.
According to reports, neither the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are
expected to attend the ceremony.
The wedding is expected to be a private affair, but the
gathering of so many senior royals is likely to attract
considerable public interest.
With King Charles and Queen Camilla expected to attend before
travelling to Epsom later the same day, the ceremony is set to
become one of the most significant royal family events of the
summer.
