Former Royal Staffer Predicts Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling's "Low-Key" Wedding Will Mirror This Royal's Ceremony

Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling at Wimbledon on July 09, 2025.

King Charles is celebrating his 77th birthday on Friday, November 14, but on Saturday, another member of the Royal Family will celebrate his own special day. Princess Anne's son, Peter Phillips, turns 48 on November 15, and ahead of his birthday, former royal gardener Jack Stooks reveals that newly engaged Peter is a "down-to-earth chap" who will prefer a more intimate wedding than a high-profile affair.

Speaking on behalf of Smooth Spins Casino, Stooks says that Phillips—who proposed to girlfriend Harriet Sperling this summer—will likely choose to have a modest ceremony with close friends and family for his second wedding. Princess Anne's eldest child was previously married to Autumn Kelly, and the couple divorced in 2021 after welcoming daughters Isla and Savannah.
