As Catherine, Princess of Wales’s ex attends wedding of Peter Phillips, when did they date, who is his wife?
Catherine, Princess of Wales attended the wedding of Peter Phillips to Harriet Sperling with Prince William.
Although their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis did not attend the wedding of Peter Phillips to Harriet Sperling, Catherine, Princess of Wales was there along with her husband Prince William. Other senior royals in attendance included King Charles, Queen Camilla and Princess Anne, the mother of Peter Phillips.
Catherine, Princess of Wales looked incredibly chic at the wedding and wore a tweed dress by Roland Mouret. The bride Harriet Sperling, now Harriet Phillips, opted for one of the Princess of Wales’s favourite designers and chose an Emilia Wickstead bridal gown.
The wedding of Peter Phillips to Harriet Sperling took place at the All Saints Church, Kemble, Cirencester and their reception was at Gatcombe Park, Princess Anne’s Gloucestershire estate. The couple’s big day was photographed by Mark Nicholson.
Mark Nicholson took to Instagram and wrote: “I was hugely honoured and delighted to be asked to photograph the wedding of Peter and Harriet Phillips this weekend in the Cotswolds.
“I wanted to thank the team at Kemble and at Gatcombe Park for their support. Particular heartfelt thanks goes to @peregrinearmstrongjones & @carolinearmstrongjones at @bentleys_entertainments_ltd and their team (including Flora Williams-Ellis) who with their immense experience and expertise conducted the whole day to perfection. Credit also goes to @mill.rich.flowers for the truly stunning flowers.
“Many thanks to my incredible team too @robsimpsonphoto & @paul_upward_photography
“Above all though huge congratulations and a big thank you to Peter and Harriet on what was a very special day.
The flowers at the wedding of Peter Philips to Harriet Sperling were created by Millie Richardson Flowers. She took to Instagram and wrote: “An honour and an extraordinary privilege to have been asked to design and create the flowers for the wedding of Peter and Harriet Phillips in the Cotswolds this weekend ✨
“With heartfelt thanks to @peregrinearmstrongjones and @carolinearmstrongjones for inviting me to be part of such a beautiful occasion and to the entire @bentleys_entertainments_ltd team for masterminding such a wonderful day.
“Collaborating closely with the couple, we were commissioned to create all of the flowers for the wedding day. The bridal party flowers ~ Harriet’s bouquet, the bridesmaid posies and floral headpieces, as well as Peter and his ushers’ button-holes. We created all of the displays at All Saint’s Church in Kemble, as well as the wedding reception flowers and marquee floral decoration at Gatcombe Park.
“Stylistically, the design direction for the flowers was to be beautiful, natural and completely seasonal. We explored the notion of bringing the outside inside throughout, so that the designs felt considered and very much of the moment. The floral ingredients used were a combination of trees, planting, grasses and thousands of stems of English-grown, garden flowers sourced as locally as 12 miles away from the wedding.
“A weekend and a commission that I will remember fondly forever. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing it all to life with me ✨
