Peter Phillips, the King’s nephew, will wed Harriet Sperling, an NHS nurse, before their closest family and friends today.
The couple will exchange their vows at All Saints Church in the pretty Cotswolds village of Kemble, Glos, which is almost equidistant between the two family homes.
Guests, including the King and Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales, will arrive from 12pm. The bride is set to arrive at 1pm.
Mr Phillips, 48, the son of the Princess Royal, proposed to Ms Sperling, 46, last summer after they had dated for just over a year.
His daughters, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14, from his first marriage to Autumn Kelly, and Ms Sperling’s daughter Georgina, 13, from her first marriage to Antonio St John Sperling, a fitness instructor, are expected to be bridesmaids.
The three teenagers are known to be close and play on the same local hockey team.
Ms Sperling’s mother, Mary Sanders, and her three siblings, Louisa, Rebecca and Nicholas, are also expected at the wedding, offering the public its first glance of this blended family.
After the ceremony, guests will make their way to the Princess Royal’s Gatcombe Park estate just a mile or so away, where the celebrations will continue well into the night.
