The self-proclaimed former “Ibiza party girl” and Phillips’ wedding was also attended by the King and Queen – who will leave early to go to The Epsom Derby.
Andrew’s daughters were spotted arriving at All Saints Church, Kemble, in the Cotswolds, for the wedding earlier today.
Neither pair have been seen at a royal bash since the arrest of their father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in a public office in February.
They also skipped the Easter Sunday service with the King’s permission.

Harry and Meghan and Andrew and Fergie were not invited to the wedding.
Eugenie and Beatrice haven’t been seen since it was revealed the King was personally paying their rent for years – despite Beatrice carrying out no royal duties.
Beatrice, 37, has an apartment in St James’s Palace while her sister Princess Eugenie, 36, lives at Ivy Cottage in Kensington Palace.
A report by public spending watchdog the National Audit Office unearthed some of the cosy deals that working – and non-working – royals have benefited from when it comes to housing.
The findings also revealed that both princesses also benefited from reduced rental rates from old market valuations.
Neither of them are a working royal and neither receives funding through the Sovereign Grant, which is paid from Crown Estate profits.
Instead, their rent is covered entirely by Charles through the Privy Purse, funded by income from the Duchy of Lancaster.
Until this year, Eugenie’s rent was based on a 2018 valuation, while Beatrice’s was based on a 2020 valuation.
The NAO’s report revealed Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have never paid rent on their homes.
The King will review Beatrice and Eugenie’s rent deals within the coming year, The Times reported.

Beatrice and Eugenie’s dad, shamed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is now facing demands to come clean about how much he pocketed by subletting royal cottages — and hand the money back to taxpayers.
The report also revealed he not only lived rent free at Royal Lodge for 20 years, but that his lease deal with the Crown Estate allowed him to let out three cottages.
Sources close to the former duke insist he only rented out properties to cover the cost of maintaining the buildings.
Campaigners have now called on the exiled former prince to return any earnings back to the Crown Estate, so it can go back into the Treasury coffers.

He was evicted by the King amid the worsening scandal of his contact with the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The row comes as health experts say Andrew’s bruised face — which was photographed while he was driving near Sandringham this week — may be a reaction to blood-thinning medication.
Sources said it was “no cause for concern.”
Prince and Princess Michael of Kent also receive free palace rent, 17 years after the Royal Family promised the deal would end.
Queen Elizabeth – and now the King – paid the tabs from their private funds despite the Kents not serving as working royals.
