Kate Middleton and Prince William Attend Cousin Peter Phillips’ Royal Wedding, But Prince Harry Wasn’t Invited

Meanwhile, Prince Harry reportedly wasn’t invited to the nuptials after he “lost touch” with his cousin

Kate Middleton and Prince William are celebrating a royal family wedding.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were among the guests at the Prince of Wales’ cousin Peter Phillips’ wedding to Harriet Sperling on Saturday, June 6, marking his second marriage following his divorce from Autumn Kelly.

Other royal attendees included King Charles and Queen Camilla, Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, as well as Peter’s sister, Zara Tindall, and her husband, Mike Tindall.

Peter, the eldest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth, wed Harriet, a National Health Service nurse, in a private ceremony at All Saints Church in Kemble, a village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England.

William and Kate arrived alongside other members of the family on the drizzly spring morning, with Kate in a cream-colored, collared boucle-knit maxi dress by Roland Mouret and matching hat.

Peter, 48, and his sister, Zara Tindall, 45, grew up alongside cousins Prince William, 43, and Prince Harry, 41, sharing royal family holidays, milestones and balcony appearances at Trooping the Colour.

Ahead of the wedding, Hello! magazine reported that Prince Harry, who relocated to California with Meghan Markle and their family after stepping back from their royal roles in 2020, wouldn’t be in attendance. A friend of the couple told the outlet, “Peter and Harry haven’t spoken for several years and have simply lost touch, so he hasn’t been invited.”

Peter’s daughters from his first marriage to Autumn Kelly have long been fixtures at royal family gatherings, including memorable moments such as Savannah Phillips and her cousin Prince George goofing off during Trooping the Colour in 2018.

Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, previously told PEOPLE, “There is a closeness with the Phillips’ kids, which is great to see. William and Peter Phillips were close when William was a teenager, and that has continued into the next generation.”

Despite their bond, Prince William missed Peter’s 2008 wedding to Autumn Kelly. He attended another wedding for a friend in Kenya. Meanwhile, Kate attended Peter and Autumn’s wedding without her then-boyfriend, marking one of her first major appearances alongside the British royal family.

Hello! also reported that the former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were not among the invited wedding guests, with a friend of the bride and groom saying the former Duke and Duchess of York’s presence would be a “distraction” amid recent renewed interest in their ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

The friend told Hello! magazine that Peter and Harriet’s wedding, which will be the second marriage for both of them, is set to be an “intimate occasion with their close friends and immediate family around them in the Cotswolds. It’s an area where they grew up and is very special to them both.”

It is the second marriage for both the bride and groom. Peter and Autumn Kelly have two daughters — Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14 — from their marriage. Harriet was previously married to fitness instructor Antonio St. John Sperling, with whom she shares a 13-year-old daughter named Georgina. The three teens were seen together while attending the Easter church service with the royal family in April.
