Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling have released their first official wedding portraits after a family ceremony in Gloucestershire.
The couple married on June 6 at All Saints Church in Kemble, with a reception afterward at Gatcombe Park, the home of Phillips’ mother, Princess Anne.
People reported that two official portraits were released on June 8, including one taken at the church and another inside the conservatory at Gatcombe Park.
The photos gave royal watchers a closer look at a wedding that was formal enough to draw senior royals, but still centered on a country church, a family estate, and a second marriage for both the bride and groom.
The First Portrait Showed the Church Setting

The first official image showed Phillips and Sperling at All Saints Church, where they exchanged vows in the Cotswolds.
The location gave the wedding a different feel from a major Westminster or Windsor ceremony. Phillips is Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest grandchild, but he is not a working royal and has lived with less public ceremony than many members of the family.
The church setting matched that position: royal enough to bring King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton to Gloucestershire, but still smaller and more personal than a full state-style royal event.
Gatcombe Park Gave the Reception a Family Setting
The second portrait was taken in the conservatory at Gatcombe Park, where Princess Anne hosted the reception.
For Phillips, the location carried obvious family history. Gatcombe Park has long been associated with Princess Anne, Phillips, Zara Tindall, and their side of the royal family.
The portrait placed the newlyweds inside a private family space rather than a palace backdrop, giving the official release a warmer tone than a standard posed wedding announcement.
Harriet Sperling’s Dress Had Early-1900s Lace
Sperling wore a lace Emilia Wickstead gown with custom ivory satin Jimmy Choo heels and Pragnell jewelry.
InStyle reported that the gown was crafted from Italian crêpe, internally structured with French lace, and featured a square neckline, low back, and dramatic train. The lace dated back to the early 1900s.
The bridal look also included a tiara and earrings by Pragnell, the Mayfair jeweler that designed Sperling’s engagement ring. People noted that the tiara choice drew attention because some modern royal second weddings have avoided tiaras in favor of simpler headpieces.
Her Bouquet Included a Queen Elizabeth Tribute
Sperling’s bouquet carried another royal-family detail.
Town & Country reported that the bouquet included lily of the valley, a flower used in Queen Elizabeth II’s 1947 wedding bouquet and her 1953 Coronation bouquet. The arrangement also included sweet peas and myrtle, a traditional royal bridal flower.
The flowers gave the ceremony a direct connection to Phillips’ grandmother without turning the day into a large public royal spectacle.
The Wedding Was a Royal First
Phillips became the first of Queen Elizabeth II’s eight grandchildren to remarry.
He was previously married to Autumn Kelly from 2008 to 2021. They share two daughters, Savannah and Isla. Sperling was also previously married and has a daughter, Georgia.
The ceremony brought those family histories into a royal wedding format that looked traditional in photos but reflected a more current family structure.
The Guest List Included Senior Royals
The guest list kept the royal focus sharp without making the wedding feel oversized.
King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Princess Anne, Zara and Mike Tindall, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie were among the family members reported at the celebration.
Prince Harry was not invited, according to People. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were also not present.
The official portraits did not need a large palace balcony or carriage procession to draw attention. The appeal was in the smaller details: a Cotswolds church, a reception at Princess Anne’s home, a tiara from the bride’s jeweler, and a remarriage that brought two families together inside a familiar royal setting.
