 There were plenty of smiles but no sunshine in Kemble, Gloucestershire, when the newly married Peter and Harriet Phillips emerged from All Saints' Church to a posse of reporters and photographers.

Peter Phillips is the elder child of the Princess Royal and her first husband, Mark Phillips. His new wife is Harriet Sperling, an NHS pediatric nurse.   They met several years earlier at a sporting event where their daughters were competing. Peter's two daughters, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14, from his first marriage to Autumn Phillips,  and Harriet's 13-year-old daughter, Georgina, have been "good friends long before their parents caught each other's eye".  

Harriet and her first husband, Antonio St. John Sperling, were divorced when Georgina was about two years old.

The bride's "high-necked gown and full veil was designed by Emilia Wickstead, who also designed the bridesmaid gowns. Her attendants were her daughter, Georgina, and stepdaughters, Savannah and Isla.  

Harriet's father, Rupert Sanders, died in 2003. Her mother, Mary, and her three siblings, Nicholas, Louisa, and Rebecca, along with their families, were also at the wedding. It was Nicholas who escorted his sister down the aisle.

Harriet's ivory satin shoes were made by Jimmy Choo. Her Tiara was loaned by Mayfair jeweler, Pragnell. The jeweler also provided the earrings.

A description from the tiara.

"This intricate tiara dazzles the eye by showcasing a design typical of both the Edwardian and Deco periods - which is very rare in all jewellery. Diamonds highlight a festoon of glittering laurel leaves and articulated floral motifs, bearing great resemblance to the tiara owned by The Princess Royal, in the official photograph celebrating her fiftieth birthday in 2000.

Favoured as a bridal headpiece and owned by the Pragnell family, this delicate tiara has been worn by generations of Pragnell family members and was present at the Coronation of both King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II."

Her bouquet, designed by Millie Richardson, featured sweet peas, myrtle, and lily of the valley. It is known if the myrtle came from Osborne, where a sprig from Queen Victoria's bouquet was planted. Sprigs from descendants of the original myrtle have been used in royal bouquets for many years,

The guests included the King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Earl of Wessex, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and their husbands,  Lord Snowdon and his girlfriend, Isabelle de la Bruyère, and his daughter, Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones,  Daniel and Lady Sarah Chatto, Sam Chatto and his girlfriend, Eleanor Ekserdjian, and the groom's half-sister, Stephanie and her husband, William Hosier.

A bespoke reception, planned by Bentley's Entertainment, was held at Gatcombe Park, where Princess Anne and Sir Timothy Laurence live. Both her children, Peter and Zara, and their families also have homes on the estate. Bentley's Entertainment was founded by Peregrine Armstrong-Jones,  the much younger half-brother of the late Antony, 1st Earl of Snowdon.

[Peregrine is 11 months older than his half-nephew, David, 2nd Earl of Snowdon.] 

The King and Queen did not attend the reception. After the service, they headed for an official engagement at the Epsom Derby.
