Among the early arrivals was Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs, co-founder of Beulah London, a label loved by Harriet and the Princess of Wales, and her husband, Rupert Finch, who was linked to Kate Middleton in her pre-royal days.
But it was the royal family who stole the show. King Charles III and Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales and Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were among the guests who gathered at All Saints Church in Kemble, Cirencester, for the romantic occasion. Also in attendance were Peter Phillips’ cousins, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, as well as his mother, Princess Anne. In a delightful yet surprising turn of events, Princess Margaret’s branch of the royal family were represented by Lady Sarah Chatto, her son Samuel Chatto and his girlfriend Eleanor Ekserdjian, as well as David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, his daughter Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones and his girlfriend, Isabelle de la Bruyère, who made her most high-profile royal appearance to date.
