The $30 million royal wedding that wasn't

The wedding of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling took place on Saturday in an intimate ceremony at All Saints Church in Kemble, Gloucestershire, with King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and other senior royal family members in attendance.

The couple shared a kiss outside the church before departing in a Rolls-Royce that had previously been used to transport Meghan,Duchess of Sussex, to her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

An echo of Sydney's 2024 institutional buy-up

The ceremony featured poignant floral tributes to Queen Elizabeth II, a high-street fashion statement by Lena Tindall, and the attendance of the Princess of Wales's former boyfriend , Rupert Finch , alongside his wife, fashion designer Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs.

The wedding train was held by Peter's daughters, Isla, 14, and Savannah, 15, who were part of the bridal party along with Harriet's daughter Georgina, 14.

Who is the unnamed buyer?

Rupert Finch, the former boyfriend of Catherine, Princess of Wales, attended the wedding with his wife, Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs, a co-founder of the fashion label Beulah, which counts both the Princess of Wales and Princess Beatrice among its clientele.

Finch and his wife were among the first guests to arrive and were greeted by Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.

What auditors flagged in the May filing

Harriet incorporated meaningful floral tributes into her bouquet, including Lily of the Valley, a flower favoured by Queen Elizabeth II, which also featured in the Queen's coronation bouquet in 1953 and in the bridal bouquets of Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Lily of the Valley,symbolising trustworthiness and regality, is grown at Buckingham Palace and holds special associations for the late monarch.

A familiar pattern from the 2019 crash

The couple's choice of transport , a Rolls-Royce, was a nod to the royal family's tradition of using classic cars for special occasions.

The wedding, while described as intimate, brought together various branches of the royal family and showcased both traditional royal elements and modern, personal touches.
