  "textContent": "\n\n\nPeter Phillips and Harriet Sperling will exchange vows on Saturday, June 6th at All Saints Church in Kemble, Cirencester, but there will be some notable absences from the occasion.\n\nThe private ceremony will take place in the Cotswolds, a region holding deep significance for both the bride and groom.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nA friend of the couple said: \"Peter and Harriet's wedding is an intimate occasion with their close friends and immediate family around them in the Cotswolds. It's an area where they grew up and is very special to them both.\"\n\nThe King and Queen, along with the Prince and Princess of Wales, have been notified of the wedding plans.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nBoth Peter Phillips, 48, and Ms Sperling, 45, are divorced, requiring them to obtain special permission from the vicar to marry in the church.\n\nAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson will not be among the guests at the nuptials, with sources indicating their presence would overshadow the couple's special day.\n\nThe insider told Hello: \"When and whether Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson had been invited, it was probably not deemed appropriate to invite them.\n\n“It's Peter and Harriet's special day, and clearly their attendance would cause a distraction to the whole day.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTheir absence from the guest list comes after damaging revelations regarding their association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.\n\nPrince Harry has also been left off the invitation list, with the friend revealing: \"Peter and Harry haven't spoken for several years and have simply lost touch, so he hasn't been invited.\"\n\nThe estrangement marks a notable shift in the cousins' relationship, given their previous attendance at one another's family celebrations.\n\nPeter Phillips was present when Harry married Meghan Markle, whilst Harry attended the wedding of Peter’s sister Zara to Mike Tindall.\n\nGB News has approached Peter Phillips seeking comment on the matter.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe complete guest list remains undisclosed, though family members expected to attend include Peter Phillips's divorced parents, Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, as well as his stepfather, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.\n\nZara Tindall and her husband Mike are also anticipated to be present, along with the Edinburgh family.\n\nPhillips has two daughters from his 13-year marriage to Autumn Phillips: Savannah, aged 14, and Isla, aged 13. He is also uncle to Zara and Mike's three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas.\n\nMs Sperling, who works as an NHS paediatric nurse, has a teenage daughter named Georgia from a previous relationship.\n\nPeter Phillips proposed to Ms Sperling during last summer, with the engagement announcement confirming both families were \"delighted with the wonderful news.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
