Discover the Top 10 Best Dressed Guests at Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s Wedding
Peter Phillips, the eldest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, married NHS nurse Harriet Sperling on June 6, 2026, at All Saints' Church in Kemble, Gloucestershire, in a private ceremony attended by roughly 150 to 200 guests, according to The Mirror. King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales were among those who arrived to cheers from crowds gathered outside the 7th-century church.
While the bride turned heads in an Emilia Wickstead lace gown and a family tiara, the fashion spotlight quickly spread to the pews. From Princess of Wales Catherine's Roland Mouret dress to Zara Tindall's periwinkle midi, the guest list doubled as a front row, according to Town and Country.
Catherine and Zara Lead the Best-Dressed List
Catherine, Princess of Wales, topped nearly every style ranking. She wore a nude Roland Mouret dress, a coordinating boater hat, and Kiki McDonough earrings, according to HELLO! Magazine. The look was polished but understated — exactly the kind of choice that makes fashion editors reach for superlatives.
Close behind was Zara Tindall, who chose a periwinkle Rebecca Vallance midi dress with puffed sleeves and a matching headband. Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, wore a light blue Beulah London dress — a repeat from the 2025 VE Day service — paired with a Sophie Habsburg "Capri" handbag, per Town and Country.
Lady Margarita's Gold Headdress and Beatrice's Rain Cover-Up Steal Attention
Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones, granddaughter of Princess Margaret and a jewelry designer, made perhaps the boldest statement of the day. She wore a striking gold headdress — possibly her own design — with a purple and blue ensemble, according to Marie Claire.
Princess Beatrice had originally chosen a green floral Emilia Wickstead dress previously worn to Ascot 2024. But heavy rain swept Gloucestershire that morning, and she arrived wrapped in an oversized navy coat. Lady Sarah Chatto, Princess Margaret's daughter, went a different route: a Dior-inspired white button-down shirt paired with a black box-pleat midi skirt, per Town and Country.
Princess Anne's 1981 Hat and the Younger Royals Round Out the Top Ten
The mother of the groom, Princess Anne, wore a yellow jacket and shawl over a red floral dress. Her standout accessory was a vintage yellow silk hat she first wore at Zara Tindall's 1981 christening, according to Town and Country. It was the kind of sentimental detail that royal watchers lived for.
Rounding out the top ten were Isabelle de la Bruyere in a champagne dress and wide-brimmed straw hat, a visibly pregnant Princess Eugenie in a flowing ensemble, and young Mia Tindall in an age-appropriate floral dress. Express reported that the event drew viewers worldwide, with live arrival streams pulling over 500,000 concurrent online viewers.
A Modern Royal Wedding Sets a New Template
This was Peter Phillips's second marriage. He and Autumn Kelly divorced in 2021 after 13 years. Autumn was reportedly invited to the wedding, and their daughters Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14, served as part of the bridal party in ivory Emilia Wickstead dresses, per Town and Country. Analysts called it a successful model for modern royal blended families.
HELLO! Magazine dubbed the likely surge in demand for Harriet's chosen brands the "Harriet Effect." Meanwhile, The Herald Scotland noted that local Cotswolds tourism saw a 15% spike in weekend bookings tied to royal wedding interest — a boost for the region despite the ceremony being entirely closed to the public.
