The royal family will come together today (Saturday), to celebrate the wedding of the Princess Royal\u2019s son Peter Phillips, but the King an Queen will be off to the Epsom Derby shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n

The King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Zara and Mike Tindall and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are among those expected to descend on the small village of Kemble, near Cirencester in Gloucestershire, for the private nuptials.<\/p>\n

The late Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s eldest grandson will tie the knot with NHS nurse Harriet Sperling in a ceremony at All Saints Church.<\/p>\n

Also expected to be there are Mr Phillips\u2019s children Savannah, 15, and 14-year-old Isla, as well as Ms Sperling\u2019s teenage daughter Georgina.<\/p>\n

Mr Phillips\u2019s half-sister Stephanie, who was a bridesmaid at his first wedding, is also reported to be joining the congregation.<\/p>\n

All Saints Church, with its tall spire, sits in the heart of Kemble, with its congregation described as \u201cvery much involved in village life\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Phillips lives nearby on his mother\u2019s Gatcombe Park estate in Minchinhampton.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old is the King\u2019s nephew, William and Harry\u2019s first cousin, the brother of Zara, and the son of Anne and her first husband Captain Mark Phillips.<\/p>\n

Mr Phillips split from his first wife Autumn in 2020 after 12 years of marriage and shares custody of their two children.<\/p>\n

The pair married in a grand royal wedding in St George\u2019s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in 2008.<\/p>\n

Mr Phillips\u2019s engagement to Ms Sperling, who he began dating in 2024, was announced in August last year.<\/p>\n

The couple were guests of Charles and Camilla at Royal Ascot in June, and invited to take part in the traditional carriage procession the royal family make on to the famous Berkshire racecourse to signal the start of the day.<\/p>\n

The wedding falls on the same day as the Epsom Derby, with the King and Queen set to dash from the ceremony to the racecourse, ready to watch the highlight of the racing season and present the trophy to the winner.<\/p>\n
