KEMBLE, England ‌June 6 (Reuters) - ​King ​Charles and senior British royals gathered at a village ‌in south-west England on Saturday to ⁠celebrate the wedding of Princess Anne's businessman ‌son, Peter Phillips, to ‌nurse Harriet Sperling.

Anne was joined by her husband, Timothy Laurence, at ​the private ceremony at All Saints Church in Kemble, near Cirencester, ⁠by her brother Charles and Queen Camilla, as well ​as other senior royals including Charles’ son and heir, Prince ​William, and his wife ‌Kate.

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, the daughters of Charles' disgraced ⁠younger brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, were also in attendance.

Phillips' first marriage - to Autumn Kelly - ⁠ended in ‌divorce in 2021.
