Harriet Sperling Is the Epitome of a Royal Bride in a White Lace Emilia Wickstead Gown and a Sparkling Tiara at Her Royal Wedding to Peter Phillips
The newest member of the Royal Family chose a lacy gown with a dramatic veil for her nuptials.
Harriet Sperling is officially a royal bride. The NHS pediatric nurse has arrived for her wedding to Princess Anne's son, Peter Phillips, and her dress is straight out of a modern royal romance.
Sperling, 45, was pictured in a long-sleeve white lace gown—created by royally-approved designer Emilia Wickstead—and a dramatic veil as she arrived at All Saints Church in the village of Kemble, England. The white column dress features sheer lace sleeves, and is accentuated by a white veil, which was held by her bridesmaids.
Royal watchers have been betting on whether Harriet would wear a tiara, and they finally got their answer on Saturday when the bride revealed her sparkling diamond tiara underneath her veil.
