The Royal Family had two new faces among its ranks as they gathered for the traditional Easter Sunday service on 5 April. Senior members of the Firm, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, joined King Charles and Queen Camilla at the Easter Matins service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle on Sunday morning.
Others in attendance included Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, and Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh and his son James, the Earl of Wessex. The Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh did not join her husband at the service as she is under the weather, it is understood.
Anne’s son Peter Phillips was also there, along with his two daughters, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14.

However, accompanying him for the first time at the service was his fiancee, NHS nurse Harriet Sperling and her 15-year-old daughter, Georgina. Peter and Harriet, who looked stylish in a blue polka dot peplum jacket and skirt with a Jane Taylor hat and Kiki McDonough earrings, walked to St George’s Chapel with the rest of the royals, including William and Kate.
Once the service was over, the couple walked back up the hill to the castle hand-in-hand, alongside their daughters.
Harriet and her daughter’s attendance comes days after it was revealed that Peter, the King’s oldest nephew, and Harriet have set a date for their wedding.
Their summer wedding will take place on Saturday, 6 June in a private ceremony at All Saints Church, Kemble in Cirencester. The low-key wedding is likely to see the royal family descend on the village for the celebration.

Peter, 48, who is 19th in line to the throne, was previously married to Autumn Kelly, with whom he has his two daughters, Isla and Savannah. He also dated long-term partner Lindsay Wallace before they split in 2024, and he later found love with Harriet, an NHS paediatric nurse.
Harriet is originally from Gloucestershire, with the wedding due to take place close to where she grew up. She has previously spoken out about her Christian faith saying it provided her comfort during her time as a single parent.

Last June, they appeared at Royal Ascot together where Harriet, who has also previously been married, made her debut in one of the carriages during the royal procession – with the move being seen as a significant sign of her position in the royal fold.
Just weeks later, the pair announced their engagement after Peter proposed with a stunning diamond ring, designed by the same jeweller who made the late Queen’s engagement ring.
