Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling share romantic first kiss after fairytale wedding – best photos

The King’s nephew Peter Phillips tied the knot with NHS nurse Harriet Sperling in the Cotswolds in front of the royal family

Harriet Sperling and Peter Phillips shared their first kiss as husband and wife as they emerged from the church after their Cotswolds wedding ceremony in front of members of the royal family.

The rain did not dampen the newlyweds’ spirits as they posed for photographs outside All Saints Church, which is located in Kemble, Cirencester, close to where bride Harriet grew up.

The blushing bride, 45, chose a column-style dress with a lace neckline and sleeves, and a dramatic train designed by Emilia Wickstead. There had been speculation in the lead-up to the ceremony as to whether Harriet would wear a tiara, and she did not disappoint. The jewels chosen were the Pragnell family tiara, as well as a set of earrings.

Peter and Harriet were supported by their bridal party, including his teenage daughters from his first marriage to Autumn Kelly – Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14 – and Harriet’s daughter, Georgina.

The groom’s divorced parents, the Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips, his stepfather Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, his sister Zara Tindall and her husband Mike, were seen among the guests.

The King and Queen were also in attendance, as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and their respective husbands, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank. .
