Britain’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla joined other prominent royal family members at a wedding ceremony on Saturday, wearing formal attire including elegant headwear and traditional dress clothes for the nuptials of the King’s nephew Peter Phillips.
The groom, who is the child of the King’s sister Princess Anne, exchanged vows with Harriet Sperling, who works as a nurse for the National Health Service. The ceremony took place at a church located in Kemble, a village in southwestern England.
The guest list exceeded 100 people and featured Prince William, Princess Catherine, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, along with additional members of the royal family.
Sperling selected a high-neck lace wedding dress created by designer Emilia Wickstead for the occasion.
The 48-year-old groom is the child of Anne and her former spouse Mark Phillips. He holds the distinction of being the late Queen Elizabeth II’s oldest male grandchild and shares a cousin relationship with William and Prince Harry.
The groom had previously divorced his first spouse Autumn Kelly, who is the mother of his two children. The couple’s plans to marry were made public the previous year.
Local residents gathered to celebrate and cheer as the bride and royal guests made their arrival. Following the service, attendees used umbrellas to shield themselves from intense rainfall while tossing rose petals at the newlyweds as they departed the church.
