Prince Harry and William’s cousin, Peter Phillips, 30, married his Canadian fiancée Autumn Kelly at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle Satuday. Phillips is the only son of Princess Anne, who is the daughter of England’s ruling queen, Queen Elizabeth II, and the sister of Prince Charles. Kelly, 30, converted from Catholicism to the Church of England in order to marry into the royal family. Phillips is 11th in line to the throne.

Prince William was not in attendance as he was at another wedding in Kenya for Batian Craig, the brother of his ex-girlfriend Jecca Craig. William’s girlfriend, Kate Middleton, attended the Philips wedding in his stead.

Prince Harry was at his cousin’s wedding with his girlfriend Chelsy Davy. (He is shown talking to his cousin, Zara Phillips, a bridesmaid.) Also at the ceremony were the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla. There were 300 guests at the service including 70 friends and family of the bride who came from Canada.

The six bridesmaids wore Vera Wang gowns and the bride wore a dress by London designer Sassi Holford and a tiara from her mother-in-law.

The story of Phillip’s courtship of Autumn Kelly is romantic. She didn’t know he was a royal until she saw him on television:

The newlywed couple first met in 2003 at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, where Mr Phillips was working for Formula One racing team BMW Williams and Miss Kelly was employed in the main BMW hospitality suite.

When Mr Phillips kept his Royal connections quiet as the fledgling relationship continued to blossom, until Miss Kelly spotted him on a TV programme on the lead up to his cousin Prince William’s 21st birthday later in 2003, and the truth was revealed.

The couple have spent the last two years splitting their time between a west London flat and Aston Farm, a cottage on the Gloucestershire estate of Peter’s father, Captain Mark Phillips.

Mr Phillips, who graduated from the University of Exeter with a degree in Sports Science, now looks after the Royal Bank of Scotland’s motor racing sponsorship.

His new wife, a graduate of Canada’s McGill University where she studied East Asian Studies, is now personal assistant to veteran broadcaster Sir Michael Parkinson.
