Late Queen’s Grandson Peter Phillips to Marry NHS Nurse: A Look at His Love Life After His Previous Marriage
Peter Phillips and his fiancée, NHS nurse Harriet Sperling, have officially announced their wedding date. Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming royal celebration.
A royal wedding is officially on the calendar — and the countdown has begun. Peter Phillips, the eldest son of Princess Anne and first cousin of Prince William, has announced that he and his fiancée, NHS paediatric nurse Harriet Sperling, will marry on 6 June 2026.

The couple confirmed that the ceremony will take place at All Saints Church in Kemble, Cirencester — a private affair in the Gloucestershire countryside the pair call home.
King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales have all been informed of the announcement.
Harriet, 45, is a paediatric nurse who first appeared publicly alongside Peter at the Badminton Horse Trials in May 2024. The couple got engaged last summer, after dating for just over a year. Peter proposed using a stunning diamond ring from Mayfair jeweller Pragnell.

This will be Peter's second marriage. He was previously married to Autumn Phillips for 13 years, and the former couple share two daughters — Savannah, 14, and Isla, 13. Harriet also brings a teenage daughter, Georgia, from a previous relationship, meaning the blended family will be very much at the heart of the celebrations.
Peter, 48, is 19th in line to the throne but has long maintained a relatively low-profile life outside the immediate royal spotlight — making this June wedding one of the more warmly anticipated royal occasions in recent memory.
