Hello, it’s Sharnaz here.
The countdown is officially on! Tomorrow, the royal family will gather in the picturesque Gloucestershire countryside as Peter Phillips, the King’s nephew and Princess Anne’s only son, marries NHS nurse Harriet Sperling.
Unlike Peter’s first wedding at the grand St George’s Chapel in Windsor, tomorrow’s nuptials promise to be a beautifully intimate, low-key affair.
The couple will exchange vows at the All Saints Church in the idyllic Cotswolds village of Kemble – just a stone’s throw from the Princess Royal’s Gatcombe Park estate where Peter resides.

King Charles and Queen Camilla are anticipated to lead the arrivals (before they dash off to the Epsom Derby later in the afternoon!).

Stick with us right here as we bring you all the exclusive updates, the first glimpses of the bride, and every spectacular royal guest arrival as the Cotswolds prepare for a royal wedding.

Peter Phillips, with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William
As the final preparations are completed at All Saints Church, anticipation is building for the wedding of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling. Yet amid the celebration, the occasion will carry a poignant note for the royal family.
One presence, in particular, will be deeply missed, and that is Peter’s beloved grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Peter shared an especially close bond with the late monarch throughout her reign. As the eldest of her eight grandchildren, he occupied a unique place within the family, and the Queen was said to have greatly admired his down-to-earth nature and steadfast approach to life.
Tomorrow’s ceremony marks a significant moment for the royals, becoming the first major royal wedding to take place since the late Queen’s death in September 2022. Read more here.

Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway
While a lot of the focus is firmly on tomorrow’s wedding celebrations, we must turn our attention to Norway, where the Royal House has just issued a serious and urgent statement regarding the health of Crown Princess Mette-Marit.
Following a progression of her chronic, life-threatening lung disease and an exhaustive medical evaluation, the 52-year-old Crown Princess has officially been placed on the waiting list for a lung transplant.
Representatives said in a statement: “As a consequence of her potentially life-threatening chronic lung disease and following an exhaustive medical evaluation, Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit has been placed on the waiting list for a lung transplant.”
