With Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling's long-awaited wedding day tomorrow, there is no better time to look back at some of the most iconic royal weddings throughout history.

But this isn't a standard trivia quiz, as we are delving into the esoterica. Like what did Princess Diana spill down her dress moments before the wedding was due to start? Or which celebrity had to change outfits at the eleventh hour before Prince Harry and Meghan's ceremony?

There are 10 questions in total so get into the wedding spirit and put your knowledge to the test...

But who is Harriet Sperling? The bride-to-be is the daughter of the late Rupert Sanders and Mary Sanders, and was first linked to King Charles' nephew in 2024. 

She and Peter went public with their relationship at the Badminton Horse Trials. 

Harriet has a fascinating biography; as well as a paediatric NHS nurse, she is a freeance writer and devout Christian, who has written on her faith and family.

This is the second wedding for both Peter and Harriet, so our Matthew Moore has gone on a deep dive inside Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling's blended family.

Peter is a dad to teenagers Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14, whom he shares with ex-wife Autumn Kelly, and Harriet is mom to Georgina, 13, sharing the teenager with her ex-husband, Antonio St John Sperling.

Georgina remained entirely out of the public eye before her mother started dating a royal, and Peter's two daughters make rare public appearances, often only special sporting events.

Amid this wonderful wedding weekend, there has been heartbreak for the royal family, following the death of Lady Pamela Hicks.

Lady Pamela was King Charles' first cousin once removed, and she had a close bond with his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, serving as a bridesmaid at her wedding to Charles' father, Prince Philip, and as one of the former monarch's ladies-in-waiting.

In a statement, a Palace spokesperson said: "His Majesty was greatly saddened to learn of the death of Lady Pamela Hicks, a sorrow tempered by the fondest memories and deepest gratitude for her long life and loyal service to Queen Elizabeth."

The excitement on the ground is ramping up, with royals sighted outside All Saints Church, and I'm officially handing over to Rebecca Lewis.

Interrupting the Peter Phillips news to bring you an exclusive interview with Princess Charlene of Monaco!

On the occasion of her first and historical visit to Spain, Prince Albert's wife talks to us about her passion for sport, the challenges she faces and her duties as a princess: "I always make sure that I have enough time to look after Jacques and Gabriella".

The 150th anniversary of the Principality of Monaco’s diplomatic representation is being commemorated, as well as the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Spanish headquarters of the Prince Albert II Foundation; and the Spanish Crown and Monaco have once again ‘embraced’ one another in Madrid.

Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling have arrived at their wedding rehearsal dinner, with Harriet, 45, in white trousers and a white and red striped top. The bride-to-be had a huge smile on her face as she walked around the grounds of All Saints Church, Kemble, which is close to where she grew up.

Seen joining her was her fiancé, Peter Phillips, alongside Peter's daughters, Savannah and Isla, and Harriet's own daughter, Georgina. Peter's sister, Zara Tindall, was also among those glimpsed ahead of the wedding.

Tomorrow's wedding at All Saints Church in Kemble is a true community effort,  rooted in the village Harriet once called home. As a devout Christian, the bride was a regular at the church, inspiring locals to enthusiastically rally around her for the special day.

The service will be led by the church's newly appointed vicar, who HELLO! understands has been affectionately dubbed 'DJ Steve' by locals following a hit performance at the village fete. Despite his short tenure, residents have already named him their youngest and most popular vicar to date.

It seems preparations for the high-profile event have required some adjustments, including moving an internal altar to accommodate the large guest list. Meanwhile, the wedding bells will be rung by a local husband-and-wife duo who have dedicated 50 years of service to All Saints Church.

Harriet Sperling was joined by her family members, including daughter Georgina, for a rehearsal at All Saints Church in Kemble. Looking lovely in a white maxi skirt and a cream knit with red stripe detailing, the bride-to-be beamed with delight as she gathered with her royal relatives outside the church.

Also pictured at the rehearsal was the groom's sister, Zara Tindall, as well as his daughters from his previous marriage, Isla and Savannah Phillips. The girls have formed a close bond with their stepsister Georgina over the past year.

Born on November 15, 1977, Peter Phillips is currently 19th in the line of succession, though he held the fifth spot at birth. As the first child of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, his arrival made Queen Elizabeth II a proud grandmother for the first time. In fact, the late monarch arrived late to a Buckingham Palace investiture that day, smiling as she apologized and announced that her daughter had just given birth to a son.

Named after his paternal grandfather, Peter was born at St. Mary's Hospital in London, with Princess Anne famously leaving the Lindo Wing just two days later. In a defining move, the Princess Royal chose not to give Peter or his younger sister, Zara Tindall, courtesy titles. 

It is a decision Peter has since expressed deep gratitude for, noting that he will "forever be indebted" to his parents for allowing them to grow up with a normal life. Peter has also long been described as Queen Elizabeth's "favourite grandson." 

Find out everything you need to know about him, including his job and his first marriage, in our deep dive into his private life.

New images show a heightened police presence in the village of Kemble. According to our sources on the ground, there was a large number of officers surrounding All Saints Church this morning, undertaking last-minute checks to ensure the smooth running of the operation. 

A drone was also spotted flying over the church, getting an eagle-eyed view of the church and its surroundings. 

A major royal story has dropped this week as a new National Audit Office report shines a spotlight on royal properties, Prince Andrew's financial arrangements, and questions surrounding accommodation provided to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

In this episode, we break down the biggest revelations, discuss what they could mean for the monarchy, and explore why the debate around royal finances is far from over.

We also look at Prince William's latest engagements, Princess Kate's emotional visit to The Christie cancer centre, Queen Camilla's heartwarming charity event, new photos released for Princess Lilibet's birthday, and everything you need to know ahead of Peter Phillips' wedding.

With just hours to go before NHS nurse Harriet Sperling marries Princess Anne's son, Peter Phillips, anticipation is peaking for their fairytale wedding. 

Since first capturing the public's attention when they were linked in 202, making their high-profile debut at the Badminton Horse Trials, Harriet has quickly won over the nation. 

Following a widely celebrated engagement in the summer of 2025, the couple's relationship has moved at a fast pace. We've taken a look at all their major relationship milestones, from their very first public appearance in May 2024 to a milestone blended-family debut in April 2026.

In the last decade or so, the Cotswolds has had a starry makeover. Where there were once tea rooms and traditional boozers, there are now speciality coffee shops and gastro pubs.

The landscape I grew up in used to be all rolling hills and lavender fields, and now it's dotted with private members' clubs and high-end hotels – but one corner of the Cotswolds remains untouched – and that's exactly where Princess Anne's son Pete Phillips and his soon-to-be wife, Harriet Sperling, have decided to tie the knot.

The nephew of King Charles and his NHS nurse bride are set to hold their wedding ceremony at All Saints Church in Kemble, a sleepy village 17 minutes from Gatcombe Park, where Peter lives alongside his mother, Princess Anne, and his sister, Zara Tindall and her family.

Kemble is also just 14 minutes from King Charles' countryside pad, Highgrove, in Tetbury – but I don't think it's the proximity to his royal relatives that made Peter Phillips opt for the secluded village for his wedding ceremony. Nor do I think it's the fact that there's a train station (I can't see Princess Kate and Prince William hopping on Great Western Railway to get there, despite the speedy connection to the capital).

No, I think they picked Kemble as the pretty village, built from golden Cotswolds stone, reflects the low-key, humble nature of that arm of the royal family – the branch which did away with titles, rather than being named Prince Peter and Princess Zara.

King Charles has expressed his "profound shock" following the fatal Royal Navy helicopter crash in Devon that claimed the lives of military personnel earlier this week. 

Charles, who flew helicopters with the Royal Navy in the 1970s, described himself as a "Junglie" the affectionate nickname for the Royal Navy’s Commando Helicopter Force, during a speech to Royal Marines on parade and hundreds of veterans, families and friends.

The King said: "I also wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge with the greatest sadness the crash of a Royal Navy helicopter on Wednesday. As a former Junglie pilot 845 Naval Air Squadron, I was profoundly shocked to hear this most tragic news. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the families, friends, and colleagues of those involved. Their service is held in the highest regard, and they remain very much in our prayers." 

Before the event began a minute's silence was held for the Royal Navy helicopter crash victims, Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher, Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson and Petty Officer Owen Green, who all died in the incident at Sourton Down, near Okehampton, just before 4am on Wednesday.

 Lieutenant Fisher was Britain's only serving female commando.Charles, who has written privately to the families of those killed in the crash, went on to say: "I know that this devastating incident would have affected every one of us here today. However, it is most heartening to see the representatives of some of our oldest and closest international allies and partners present on this very special occasion.

"I can only pray that these bonds of friendship, forged through shared ordeals based on shared ideas, continue in the years ahead."

HELLO! will be bringing you all the latest updates on the ground ahead of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling's fairytale wedding, live as it happens.

Local businesses have had to move their food trucks due to road closures, sparking complaints in a local Facebook group. A source tells HELLO! that vendors have been given no information and are concerned about the impact of heavy footfall in the quaint village.

For context: Kemble has a population of just under 1,000 people. The village is incredibly compact, covering an area of roughly 0.5 square kilometers - you can walk from one side of the place to the other in about 12 minutes. 

The village has a small local primary school with only about 100 total pupils, one general shop, and three pubs.

Insiders told us that Peter is a well-known figure within the local community and is often seen shopping at the local Tesco and at the train station. 

India Hicks, the King's goddaughter, has announced the death of her mother, Lady Pamela Hicks.

The heartbreaking news was shared on social media, where India paid tribute to her beloved mother and reflected on a life that spanned nearly a century of remarkable history.

"My mother died peacefully today," she wrote. "Whilst there is no tragedy in the death of a 97-year-old who has lived a full life I know grief will be unavoidable, lurking around waiting for me, but today I am simply grateful that she was my Mother. 

"And through the prism of a crowded and remarkable past, she made incomparable company, carrying her memories lightly, and always with humour.

"My mother maintained right up to the end, the impeccable style, sharp mind, and effortless charm that made her not only a cherished institution, but truly the last of her kind."

We bring you some very sad news from the wider royal circle. Lady Pamela Hicks has passed away at the age of 97. 

She was the wife of the interior designer David Hicks and the younger daughter of Lord Mountbatten of Burma.

Who is Lady Pamela Hicks?

Lady Pamela Hicks had been close with the late Queen for many years. She was the great great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria. This made Pamela the cousin of Prince Philip and the second cousin to the Queen.

Not only was she a member of the royal family, she was considered a close friend and confidante of the late monarch. Pamela was one of Her Majesty's bridesmaids in 1947, before going to serve as her lady-in-waiting.

Lady Pamela was a widow to interior designer David Nightingale Hicks, who died in 1998. The couple were married for many years. At their wedding in 1960, Princess Anne served as one of her bridesmaids.

Together, Lady Pamela and David had three children, Edwina Victoria Hicks, Ashley Louis David Hicks and India Amanda Caroline Hicks.

Before heading into a busy weekend, King Charles was on duty at Windsor Castle on Friday morning for a spectacular display of military pageantry. This ceremony marks the first time in history that the King, as Captain General Royal Marines, has presented new Colours. 

It is also the first time that four Commando units have received new Colours concurrently, making this an exceptionally significant military milestone. 

The parade formed up at Victoria Barracks before marching through the historic streets of Windsor, up to the castle, and through the grand George IV Gate.

Despite the wedding being an intimate, private country affair, a spectacular turnout of senior royalty is expected to descend on the small village of Kemble tomorrow to celebrate Peter and Harriet.

The King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Zara and Mike Tindall and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are among those expected to be there.

Also expected to be there are Peter's children Savannah, 15, and 14-year-old Isla, as well as Harriet's teenage daughter Georgina.

Peter's half-sister Stephanie, who was a bridesmaid at his first wedding, is also reported to be joining the congregation.

Princess Beatrice made a stylish return to the London social scene on Thursday evening as she attended the ALICE + OLIVIA in-store event.

The outing comes shortly after the royal's trip to Italy, where she was among the guests celebrating a friend's 40th birthday.

Known for her increasingly polished fashion choices in recent years, Beatrice stepped out in a striking, embellished ensemble. She joined high-profile guests, including Nicky Hilton Rothschild and Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath, at the fashionable soiree.

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."

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.

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!). 

We are also keeping our eyes peeled for the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and, of course, Peter's sister, Zara Tindall.

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.
