The couple, who made their public debut in 2024, announced their engagement last August.<\/p>\n<p>Among the guests today were the Prince and Princess of Wales and King Charles and Queen Camilla, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/princess-beatrice\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Princess Beatrice<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/princess-eugenie\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Princess Eugenie<\/a> also making a surprise appearance alongside their husbands.

It\u2019s the royal wedding of the year, and it is Princess Anne\u2019s son, Peter \u2026 and the bottom line is that Harry has not been invited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Dolan also added: \u201cIt\u2019s my understanding he\u2019s been banned from the event. Why? Because Peter Phillips, the guy who\u2019s getting married, doesn\u2019t want Harry to take the headlines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Palace officials feel that Harry and Meghan are toxic and that they would ruin the special day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The date for Peter and Harriet\u2019s wedding was confirmed in April, as a statement issued by their spokesman said: \u201cMr Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips and Ms Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr Rupert Sanders and Mrs Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today announced their wedding date.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The summer wedding will take place at All Saints Church, Kemble, Cirencester on Saturday 6th June 2026 in a private ceremony. Both families have been informed jointly of the wedding date by invitation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have also been informed of the announcement. Further details will be announced in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harriet arrived alongside her daughter, 13-year-old Georgina, and Peter&#8217;s two daughters, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14.<\/p>\n<p>The trio acted as bridesmaids for Harriet, with all three of them matching the bride in white.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Peter Phillips has tied the knot with Harriet Sperling in Cirencester today, with many royals in attendance to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":466552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,236225,111,139,69,176742,3578,236224,3164,199236],"class_list":["post-466551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-express-poll","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-peter-phillips","tag-prince-harry","tag-prince-harry-poll","tag-royal-family","tag-royal-family-poll"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
