Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, debuted his soon-to-be wife and blended family unit during the annual royal Easter Sunday service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor on Sunday.
The 48-year-old businessman walked alongside his fiancée, NHS nurse Harriet Sperling and his two daughters he shares with his ex-wife Autumn Kelly, Isla and Savannah.
Harriet’s 13-year-old daughter, Georgina, from her previous marriage to fitness instructor Antonio St John Sperling, was also introduced as part of the clan and the family of five presented a united front as the sun shone on the Berkshire chapel.
They stepped out in a coordinated uniform of dark navy, light blues and beige tones as they joined the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children for the springtime occasion.
Harriet led the charge in a baby blue polka dot two-piece suit that featured a structured, peplum top with bows down its middle and a maxi-skirt. She added a small, matching blue hat with a tied bow detail on its brim and some eggshell blue stiletto heels.
Her daughter Georgina was dressed in a similar shade of tan to her soon-to-be relative Princess Charlotte’s two-toned coat. She wore a long beige skirt with a drawstring at its waistband and a navy short-sleeved jacket with gold buttons.

Isla and Savannah were both in navy dresses; one wore a denim wrap dress with white cuffs on the sleeves, while the other wore matching polka dots to her new stepmum underneath a navy blazer. Savannah added a pair of white kitten heels to her denim ensemble, and Isla walked around in some navy suede loafers.
Peter rounded up the group in a navy suit with a crisp white shirt, a butter yellow tie and black dress shoes.
A united front before a summer wedding
The Phillips-Sperling clan’s show of matching outfits appeared to send a message of unity and togetherness and immediately followed the news that the couple would wed on 6 June at All Saints Church in Kemble, Cirencester.
After their first outing as a blended family, HELLO! asked a psychologist to decode the message they may have been trying to send with their muted palette and similar ensembles.

Joanna Konstantopoulou, a London-based HCPC-registered practitioner psychologist with over 17 years of professional clinical experience, told us: “When a family appears together like this for the first time, what they wear can quietly shape how the moment is received. Choosing similar colours makes the group look more connected, which matters more in this kind of situation than it usually would.”
She continued: “In blended families, there are often different backgrounds coming together at once, so creating a sense of visual consistency can help reduce any sense of separation.
“It’s not really about style. It’s about making things feel more straightforward and less divided, both within the group and from the outside.”

The expert analysed their chosen moment to appear as a family and said: “In a public setting, this also helps contain the moment. It gives the impression that things are settled and intentional, rather than uncertain.”
She shared her thoughts on the children’s matching colours with their very famous relative. Joanna noted: “If they have chosen colours that sit close to those worn by Princess Charlotte, that is unlikely to be accidental. It suggests an awareness of the setting and a decision to fit into it, rather than draw attention to difference at a time when everything is already under focus.
“For children, these details can be particularly important. When things look consistent, the situation can feel easier to step into. It doesn’t remove the complexity of a blended family, but it can make the moment feel more manageable.”
