King’s Nephew Peter Phillips Marries NHS Nurse Harriet Sperling in Royal Ceremony

KEMBLE: Peter Phillips, the nephew of King Charles III and the eldest grandson of the late Queen Elizabeth II, has married NHS paediatric nurse Harriet Sperling in a ceremony attended by senior members of the British royal family.

The wedding took place on Saturday at All Saints’ Church in Kemble, Gloucestershire, near the Gatcombe Park estate, where a reception was later held.

Phillips, who is Princess Anne’s son, married Sperling after a relationship that became public in 2024 and an engagement announced in 2025. The bride is an NHS nurse with a background in paediatric care.

Members of the royal family attended the ceremony, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla, along with other senior royals. The event marked a significant family occasion within the wider royal household.

Sperling wore a wedding gown designed by Emilia Wickstead, reflecting a traditional yet contemporary style. The couple’s children from previous relationships were also involved in the ceremony.

The wedding comes after Phillips’ previous marriage to Autumn Kelly, which ended in divorce in 2021. He shares two daughters with his former wife.

Sperling, a single mother before her marriage, has also been known for her work in healthcare and has maintained a relatively private public profile prior to joining the royal family.

The ceremony was conducted in a private setting, with security and media attention reflecting the couple’s connection to the British monarchy.

The marriage adds a new chapter to the royal family’s extended network, blending established royal lineage with a partner from outside aristocratic circles.
