Peter and Harriet Phillips have shared the first official photos
of their royal wedding.
The couple married at All Saints’ Church in the Cotswolds on
June 6 with a reception afterwards at Princess Anne’s home at
Gatcombe Park.
Now, the newlyweds have revealed the first snaps of the day
including a special image taken inside the Princess Royal’s home as
they welcomed guests to their celebration.
In the images, captured by Mark Nicholson, the couple are seen
in the conservatory of the estate where Anne lives and where the
couple held their reception.
In the reception photos, they are seen walking hand in hand
through the stone trimmed building.
Harriet Phillips chose an Emilia Wickstead dress for her wedding
day and in the photos, she is seen wearing her long veil off her
face.
The bride also wore a tiara, borrowing a diamond and pearl
diadem from the Pragnell family. The jewel has royal connection as
it was worn to the coronations of both George VI and Elizabeth II
by members of the Pragnell family.
Also clearly visible in the wedding portraits is Harriet’s
bridal bouquet which included several nods to Queen Elizabeth II,
grandmother to Peter Phillips. The posy included lily of the
valley, one of the late Queen’s favourite flowers, as well as a
sprig of myrtle which is traditionally used in all royal wedding
flowers.
The portraits only show the bride and groom, there are no family
or group images. The wedding was attended by many members of the
Royal Family including King Charles and Queen Camilla. Their
Majesties left the ceremony and headed straight to Epsom where they
watched the Derby being run. It’s not known if they later returned
to Gatcombe to continue celebrations.
Also at the wedding were the Prince and Princess of Wales whose
three children didn’t attend the celebration. It was a noticeably
child free wedding with only a few youngsters at the special event.
Among them was eight year old Lena Tindall, niece of Peter
Phillips, and her 12 year old sister, Mia.
Zara Tindall and her husband, Mike, were also present as were
two other cousins of the groom. Princess Beatrice and Princess
Eugenie attended, the first time they’ve been seen with the wider
Royal Family since the arrest and release of their father, Andrew
Mountbatten-Windsor, on suspicion of misconduct in public
office.
Beatrice was with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, while
Eugenie, who is expecting her third child, attended with her
husband, Jack Brooksbank.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were at the celebration
although their children, Lady Louise and James, Earl of Wessex,
weren’t seen at the church ceremony, the only public part of the
wedding.
King Charles’ cousins, Earl Snowden and Lady Sarah Chatto, were
both there with their grown up children.
Princess Anne made a sweet gesture at the wedding of her son,
wearing a hat that she had chosen for another special family event,
the christening of her daughter, Zara, in 1981.
Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling announced their engagement
in August 2025. At the heart of their celebrations were their
children – Peter has two daughters, Savannah, 15, and 14 year old
Isla who, along with Harriet’s daughter, 13 year old Georgina, were
bridesmaids.
