Summary
Harriet Sperling greeted friends and family at All Saints Church in Kemble on Friday, holding a low-key rehearsal hours before her Saturday wedding to Peter Phillips.
The stripped-back approach reflects the couple’s plan for an “intimate but significant” service, with Sperling said to want the focus on their vows and faith rather than royal spectacle.
Peter Phillips and the couple’s 3 daughters — Savannah, Isla and Georgina — also attended, alongside Zara Tindall, fueling expectations the girls and Zara could play roles in the ceremony.
Saturday’s guest list is still expected to carry royal weight, with Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and reports that King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Catherine may attend.
The couple met 2 years ago through their daughters’ local hockey team, announced their engagement last August, and are expected to hold the reception at Gatcombe Park.
