See Every Royal Who Attended Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s Wedding
The Cotswolds played host to a grand family gathering this past Saturday as members of the British royal family assembled for the wedding of Peter Phillips. Despite the wet and windy weather, the event drew a significant contingent of the family, with King Charles arriving in his BMW to the cheers of the gathered crowd.
A Display of Royal Style and Tradition
The unofficial dress code for the day leaned heavily toward shades of yellow. Princess Anne, the mother of the groom, led the theme by tapping into her fashion archive, opting for a hat she originally wore to her daughter Zara’s christening in 1981. Queen Camilla also embraced the palette, donning a pale yellow ensemble paired with floral brooch clips.
Other notable attendees included the Princess of Wales, who wore a blush-colored Roland Mouret dress, and the Duchess of Edinburgh, who opted for a blue midi dress by Beulah London. Princess Eugenie, currently expecting her third child, chose a practical and warm navy coat to contend with the unseasonal weather.
Significant Family Appearances
The wedding served as a rare public stage for several members of the extended royal family. Lady Sarah Chatto, daughter of the late Princess Margaret, attended in a Dior-inspired outfit, accompanied by her brother, David Armstrong-Jones, the Earl of Snowdon. The Earl was seen with Isabelle de la Bruyere, an art expert with whom he made his public debut last year.
The ceremony featured a bridal party including the bride’s daughter, Georgina, alongside Savannah and Isla, the daughters of the groom. While many senior royals were in attendance, Prince William and the Princess of Wales arrived without their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Looking Ahead
As the family returns to their respective duties, observers may note how such private celebrations continue to shape the public’s perception of the monarchy. Given the attendance of the next generation, including Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones—who showcased her own jewellery design work—these family events will continue to serve as a platform for the younger royals to define their individual public identities.
