Peter Phillips’ wife has officially debuted her new name following her wedding on 6 June, with Ascot citing Harriet (née Sperling) is now known as Harriet Phillips.
The newlyweds joined Princess Anne in the second carriage following King Charles and Queen Camilla on the first day of Royal Ascot 2026. Dressed in an elegant pale blue Suzannah London dress, Harriet looked at ease in the royal family as she smiled and waved at crowds.
She accessorised with a Jane Taylor London hat in the same soft blue, coordinating slinkback heels from Jimmy Choo, and a bespoke Anya Hindmarch bag. But did you spot her subtle tribute to her royal wedding?
Tucked beneath her blonde hair, which was styled in a low bun with curled tendrils framing her face, were diamond drop earrings from Pragnell. The brand was responsible for designing Harriet’s trilogy engagement ring, just as they had done for the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1946.
For Harriet’s wedding at All Saints’ Church in Kemble, the bride once again turned to the jeweller for her vintage diamond and pearl tiara and drop earrings.
The brand said of the “rare” headpiece: “The tiara dazzles the eye by showcasing a design typical of both the Edwardian and Deco periods – which is very rare in all jewellery.”
The delicate heirloom, which featured glittering festoons of laurel leaves and articulated floral motifs, was worn at the Coronations of both King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.

Analysing her bridal look, luxury stylist Oriona Robb told HELLO!: “There are subtle parallels with the Princess of Wales in the choice of Emilia Wickstead and the commitment to timeless elegance.

Praising the balanced aesthetic, she added: “What strikes me most is how effortless she looks. The dress is undeniably grand, yet she wears it with such grace and ease that the overall effect feels timeless rather than formal. It’s a beautiful example of confidence and elegance working hand in hand.
“For me, the most beautiful thing about this look is that you see her before you see the dress. The gown, jewellery and tiara are exquisite, but they never overwhelm her. She looks poised, graceful and genuinely happy, which is ultimately what makes a bridal look unforgettable.”
