Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne, has officially announced the date for his upcoming wedding to fiancée Harriet Sperling. The couple, who became engaged last summer, will tie the knot in a private ceremony this July.
Summer Wedding Details Confirmed
The royal wedding is scheduled for Saturday, July 6, at All Saints Church in Kemble, Cirencester. This picturesque location will host the intimate celebration, with both families having already received formal invitations notifying them of the date.
Royal Family Informed
According to sources close to the couple, King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with the Prince and Princess of Wales, have been personally informed of the wedding plans. The announcement indicates that further details regarding the ceremony and reception will be shared in the coming weeks as arrangements are finalised.
The engagement between Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling was publicly revealed last year, sparking widespread interest in royal circles. Phillips, who is the eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, has maintained a relatively low public profile compared to other members of the royal family.
Private Ceremony Plans
The choice of All Saints Church in Gloucestershire suggests a preference for a discreet, family-oriented event rather than a large-scale public spectacle. This approach aligns with Phillips' history of keeping his personal life out of the media spotlight whenever possible.
Harriet Sperling, who works in the wellness industry, has been gradually introduced to royal family events over the past year. The couple were recently photographed together at Royal Ascot, where they appeared comfortable among other senior royals.
As preparations for the July wedding accelerate, royal watchers will be keen to learn more about the guest list, ceremonial details, and whether any other senior royals beyond those already mentioned will attend. The couple have indicated they will release additional information at an appropriate time before the summer ceremony.
