Lena Tindall retained her title of most playful royal at Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s royal wedding, as she joyfully played in the rain.

Harriet Sperling, a 45-year-old paediatric nurse specialist for the NHS, tied the knot with Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne, in a stunning Emilia Wickstead bridal gown today.

Nearly all senior royals descended on the small village of Kemble, near Cirencester in Gloucestershire, for the private nuptials, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the King and Queen. Also there were Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. It is the first time they have been included in a large Royal Family gathering since the arrest of their father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not attend.

Seven-year-old Lena, daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall, was captured entertaining royal guests by playing with her unicorn umbrealla outside of Kemble’s All Saints Church following the private ceremony. Dressed in a floral white dress with pink shoes and a coloured ribbon in her hair, Lena was seen holding her umbrella above Mike’s head, the young royal erupted into a fit of laughter before pictures later showed Mike carrying the item instead.

Meanwhile, Lena’s older sister Mia, 12, watched on with a rather bemused facial expression. Clutching an umbrella to protect her from the rain, the glamorous young royal opted for a chic look that showcased her fashion taste.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror: “This was a much needed joyful day for the family, and a chance to show that they – or at least most of them – remain united in spite of all the damaging headlines of recent times.”

The disgraved ex-prince Andrew’s two daughters attended the wedding with the husbands after keeping a low public profile for months. Jennie Bond, the former BBC royal correspondent, told the Mirror this public outing by the sisters was “quite brave”.

Bond said: “I thought it was quite brave of Beatrice and Eugenie to show up… knowing that the cameras would be on them. They’ve had a lot of highly critical press lately and it can’t have been easy for them to face the media. But they did seem to keep quite a low profile, particularly as the bridal party left the church.

“I’m sure they were determined not to draw any of the limelight from the bride and groom, who looked incredibly happy and relaxed together.”
