King Charles and Queen Camilla have arrived at All Saints Church, Kemble, for Peter Phillips' wedding with NHS nurse Harriet Sperling.

Both the King and Queen could be seen waving and greeting fans who had flocked to the church as they emerged from the car.


King Charles paired a black coat with grey pin-stripe trousers, with a cream double-breasted waistcoat over a crisp white shirt and a light patterned tie.

Queen Camilla, meanwhile, wore a cream-coloured coat dress, coupled with a matching wide-brimmed hat, a quilted handbag and a signature brooch.

The royal couple were joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh in what is a star-studded turnout.

The monarch and his wife will later make a dash to Surrey, where they will attend the Epsom Derby.

Camilla, who is the Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, had to miss the final dress rehearsal for Trooping the Colour, which will take place next Saturday, June 13.

Due to both her attendance at Peter's wedding and the Epsom Derby, the Queen was forced to cancel the final rehearsal, with Major General Commanding the Household Division, Major General James Bowderas, acting as her Inspecting Officer instead.

Among the first guests to arrive this afternoon were Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs, the co-founder of the luxury fashion label Beulah, a brand often worn by Catherine and Ms Sperling, and her husband Rupert Finch, who dated the Princess of Wales while both studying at the University of St Andrews in 2001.

Shortly after, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie turned up to their first Royal Family gathering since the arrest of their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, in February.

Zara Tindall arrived in preparation for the Friday night rehearsals and stayed the night in one of the Cotswolds glamorous hotels.

Guests could be seen battling high winds as they arrived at the church this afternoon.

Ahead of the nuptials, fans could be seen sneaking photos and climbing over walls to grab a look at the royal turnout.

The ceremony has been described as an intimate affair for close friends and immediate family in an area deeply meaningful to both Peter and Harriet.

The bride, a 46-year-old paediatric nurse specialist for the NHS, brings her own distinguished lineage to the union, being related to the Duke of Gloucester through her late father Rupert Sperling.

Harriet, a mother to 13-year-old daughter Georgina from a previous relationship, has spoken candidly about how her Christian faith sustained her through the challenges of raising a child alone.

Peter, who sits 19th in the line of succession, proposed in August 2025 with a ring crafted by the same jeweller who designed the late Queen's 1946 engagement ring.

The couple announced their engagement with a statement declaring both families were "delighted."

The wedding marks the first big royal wedding since 2018, when Princess Eugenie, who is also expected to attend today, married Jack Brooksbank at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.

Five months earlier, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in a lavish ceremony. Neither the Duke nor Duchess of Sussex have made the trip over this afternoon.
