Meghan & Harry Absent from Royal Wedding; Vintage Car Honors Sussexes
9 Jun
Summary
- Peter Phillips married Harriet Sperling in the first royal wedding in six years.
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not invited to the ceremony.
- A vintage Rolls-Royce, used by Meghan in 2018, featured at the wedding.
Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne, married NHS nurse Harriet Sperling on Saturday in Cirencester. This event marks the first British royal wedding in six years. Senior royals, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales, were in attendance at All Saints' Church.
The ceremony notably excluded Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with reports indicating they were not invited due to a loss of contact with Peter Phillips. This absence contrasts with the 2018 royal wedding of Harry and Meghan.
A vintage Rolls-Royce Phantom IV, a royal state vehicle, was used by the newlyweds for their departure. This same car was previously used by Meghan Markle for her wedding in 2018, serving as a symbolic connection to the Sussexes' own nuptials. The vehicle has a history of royal use, including by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Harriet Sperling wore a white Emilia Wickstead gown and carried a bouquet by Millie Richardson. The bridal party, including Peter's daughters Savannah and Isla, also wore white dresses by the designer. The wedding took place despite some rain, but the couple's happiness was evident as they greeted onlookers.
