This summer, the royal family will once again gather for a celebration: Queen Elizabeth II's eldest grandson, Peter Phillips, is preparing to marry Harriet Sperling.
The long-awaited news has come from royal circles! Peter Phillips, the eldest son of Princess Anne, and his charming fiancée Harriet Sperling have finally announced their wedding plans. According to the Daily Mail, 48-year-old Peter will walk his 44-year-old bride, nurse Harriet Sperling, down the aisle on Friday, June 6. The ceremony promises to be special and will take place at the picturesque All Saints Church in Kemble (Cirencester).
However, royal event fans should know that the ceremony will be held in a close circle, away from prying eyes. King Charles III and the Prince and Princess of Wales have already been informed of the upcoming event. The couple officially stated: "Their Majesties the King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales have also been notified of this announcement. Further details will be announced in due course." The decision for privacy is likely related to the fact that this is already the second marriage for the late Queen Elizabeth II's eldest grandson.

About Peter Phillips
It is worth noting that Peter, the eldest son of Princess Anne, was born in her first marriage to Captain Mark Phillips. An interesting fact: his parents consciously renounced the title that was rightfully his by birth.
Peter's Past: First Marriage and Family Life
Peter Phillips first tied the knot in 2008 with charming Canadian Autumn Kelly. It was a lavish and traditional royal wedding! Autumn dazzled as she walked down the aisle of St. George's Chapel in her mother-in-law's magnificent Festoon tiara. After such a grand event, the couple even sold exclusive photos of the celebration to Hello magazine for an impressive £500,000. They welcomed two beautiful daughters, Savannah and Isla, during their marriage. However, unfortunately, the couple officially divorced in 2021, ending their shared story.

New Love and Engagement
Three years after the divorce, Peter found happiness again and introduced his new partner to King Charles III. His chosen one is Harriet Sperling – a caring nurse in the pediatric department of the UK's National Health Service. Last summer, the couple joyfully announced their engagement, causing a wave of delight. It is worth noting that Peter ordered the ring for his fiancée from the same legendary jewelry house, Philip Antrobus Ltd, where his grandfather, Prince Philip's ring, was once created – a very symbolic gesture!
