Peter Phillips is set to tie the knot for the second time next week – and is using the same wedding planner as his first time around.
The 48-year-old nephew to the King is due to marry NHS nurse Harriet Sperling in the Cotswolds next Saturday, with Charles, Prince William and Princess Kate among the high-profile royal guests expected to be in attendance.
It’s not known yet whether Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and eight year old Prince Louis will accompany them to the ceremony.
The “intimate” service will take place at All Saints Church in Cirencester – and is being organised by the same firm that put together his first wedding to Canadian management consultant Autumn Kelly 18 years ago.

He is again turning to luxury events firm Bentley’s Entertainments, who handled the previous ceremony in Windsor back in 2008. Peter and Autumn divorced in 2021.
Mr Phillips, who is Princess Anne’s eldest child, began his relationship with Harriet in May 2024, with both having children from previous marriages.
Queen Camilla, Prince Edward and Sophie are also anticipated to be amongst the guests, as are Peter’s divorced parents, Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, and his stepdad Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.
His younger sister Zara and her husband Mike Tindall are expected to attend, likely bringing their children, Mia, Lena, and Lucas.
Peter’s daughters from his first marriage, Savannah and Isla, along with Harriet’s daughter, Georgina will also be part of the ceremony.

Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten, along with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are not expected to be present on the day.
A source told HELLO! magazine: “When and whether Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson had been invited, it was probably not deemed appropriate to invite them. It’s Peter and Harriet’s special day, and clearly their attendance would cause a distraction to the whole day.”
They added that Peter and Harry haven’t spoken in “several years”.
Peter, the eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II, was raised without an official royal title, and received his early education at Port Regis Prep School and Gordonstoun School in Scotland, later graduating from the University of Exeter in 2000 with a degree in sports science.
