    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. Rather than wearing one of her new mother-in-law Princess Anne's tiaras, Harriet opted for the Pragnell Tiara, which is on loan from the jeweler, who also designed the bride's engagement ring.

    Other members of the Royal Family present at the nuptials were Princess Anne and her husband, Sir Tim Laurence, Zara and Mike Tindall, King Charles, and Queen Camilla. Prince William and Princess Kate were also seen entering the church.
