Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling are making their first public appearance as a married couple on the first day of Royal Ascot.<\/p>\n

The newlyweds, who tied the knot the first weekend in June at a small family wedding in the Cotswolds<\/a>, were part of the carriage procession on the first day of the event. Harriet sat next to her mother-in-law, Princess Anne, and across from Peter. Also in their carriage was Sir Ben Elliot, Queen Camilla\u2019s nephew.<\/p>\n

Harriet made her Royal Ascot procession debut last year<\/a>, her first official appearance with the royal family. In 2024, she joined Peter after the procession<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the day at Ascot, Harriet wore a light blue Suzannah London silk dress<\/a> and a matching Jane Taylor fascinator. She accessorized with dangling statement earrings, a bangle, and her sparkling engagement ring<\/a>. She finished her look with white slingback Jimmy Choo pumps, and carried a two-tone clutch from Anya Hindmarch. Peter wore a light blue tie, perhaps a nod to his new wife\u2019s outfit. And, despite being members of the British royal family, they have to wear name tags.<\/p>\n

Other royal attendees today include King Charles and Queen Camilla, Peter\u2019s sister Zara Tindall and her husband, Mike Tindall<\/a>, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Royal Ascot is typically a major event on the British royal calendar, and it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll see even more members of the British royal family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, later this week.<\/p>\n
