Peter Phillips and his fiancee Harriet Sperling have revealed the date of their wedding.

Princess Anne‘s son and the NHS nurse who he has been with for two years have announced they will tie the knot at All Saints Church, Kemble, Cirencester on June 6 in a private ceremony.

‘Both families have been informed jointly of the wedding date by invitation,’ a statement said.

‘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.’

Peter, 48, and Harriet, 45, who have been together since May 2024, officially announced their engagement in August last year.

In a statement to announce the joyous news, they said both families were ‘delighted’.

Peter Phillips and his fiancee Harriet Sperling have revealed the date of their wedding, after being engaged for a year

It will not be the first time Peter – nephew of King Charles – has walked down the aisle. In 2008, he said ‘I do’ to Montreal-born Autumn Kelly in a fairytale ceremony at Windsor’s St George’s Chapel.

The couple had two daughters, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 13, but separated in 2019, with their divorce finalised in 2021.

Now, Peter has found love again with fellow divorcee Harriet, who has a 13-year-old daughter, Georgina, from her first marriage.

She herself boasts wealthy connections, sharing a relation to the Duke of Gloucester through her late father, Rupert Sanders.

Peter, 19th in the line of succession, popped the question with a sparkling ring which boasts a subtle but touching tribute to his beloved grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, having been designed by the same jeweller behind her iconic 1946 ring.

For royal biographer Richard Fitzwilliams, there is no doubt that Peter and Harriet’s wedding will be vastly different from his previous nuptials to Autumn Kelly that left the Royal Family ‘bewildered’.

Harriet herself is known for having strong religious roots – having previously shared how she took great strength from her Christian faith as she battled through the early years of single parenthood when ‘resources were scarce and the future was uncertain’.

In an interview in 2009, she revealed that her ‘faith was always in me, but it was kind of dormant’.

Should royal weddings be private family affairs or public national celebrations z

She added: ‘Somehow it didn’t seem relevant to my life in London. But the end of a seven-year relationship was the turning point for me. I went to church as I felt there was something missing.’

In a piece written for Christian magazine Woman Alive last year, she also admitted that life as a single parent was difficult but had found comfort after turning to her faith.

According to an online bio, Harriet lives in Gloucestershire and works as a paediatric nurse specialist for the NHS.

She is ‘passionate about early brain development in babies and seeing children thrive’, the bio notes.

In 2010, Harriet was a key member of a team of medics, doctors and clinicians who helped save the life of a critically ill baby, named Phineas, after he was struck down by a deadly virus at just three weeks old.

She has been warmly welcomed by the Royal Family over the past two years, seen over the summer laughing with King Charles at Ascot after she travelled in the official carriage procession with senior royals.

And just a few weeks ago, Peter and Harriet showed they were truly in nearlywed bliss as they attended Cheltenham Festival together, along with Mike and Zara Tindall.

The couples smiled and huddled as they posed for photos, kicking off the celebrated Gold Cup Day.

Peter beamed with his fiancee on his arm, her stunning engagement ring on display for all to see.

She was regally sophisticated in a tweed, checkered £2,550 coatdress from the brand Suzannah, teamed with a black fascinator and black Penelope Chilvers sinatra boots.

To accessorise, Harriet carried a Mortimer clutch in the shade iceberg and wore Kiki McDonough’s signature dreen amethyst earrings. Peter was dapper in a brown suit and suede shoes – all finished off with a felt hat.

The pair shared sweet glances, looking as loved up as ever at the event.
