The 2010s marked an exciting period of royal weddings and babies, but since then, it's been fairly quiet on the nuptials front. It will be quite a few years before the public will enjoy a wedding on the level of Prince William and Kate Middleton, as their children are only 12, 10, and 7. But on August 1, Princess Anne's son, Peter Phillips, gave fans something exciting to look forward to when he announced his engagement to NHS nurse Harriet Sperling. No details of the upcoming wedding have been released just yet, but royal watchers are wondering where they'll tie the knot, what she'll wear, and if there will be a tiara involved.
This will be a second wedding for both Sperling, who shares a daughter with her ex-husband, and Phillips, who co-parents daughters Savannah, 15, and Isla, 13, with ex-wife Autumn Kelly. The celebrations will likely be a small affair—unlike the royal wedding Phillips and Kelly had at St George's Chapel in 2008—but it's still possible that the future Mrs. Phillips will wear a tiara, as historian Jessica Storoschuk tells Marie Claire.
