Overview
- Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling announced their engagement in August after a summer proposal, and they have not released a wedding date or plans.
- Former royal gardener Jack Stooks predicts the ceremony will be very small and private, potentially at Sperling's home or at Princess Anne's Gatcombe Park.
- Stooks expects a modest guest list limited to close friends and family, reflecting Phillips's preference for a low-profile event.
- He says attendance by senior royals such as Prince William and Princess Kate is uncertain, as inviting many royals could raise the event's profile.
- Phillips, Princess Anne's untitled son, is 48 on November 15, and Sperling is an NHS pediatric nurse who has appeared with the family at Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, and polo events.
