It looks like Peter Phillips & Harriet Sperling ‘sold’ exclusive wedding photos to Hello

Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling were married last Saturday in the Cotswolds. It was a “private wedding,” and it was not staged on royal property whatsoever. Peter and Harriet’s wedding reception was held at Princess Anne’s private estate, Gatcombe Park, and most of the wedding guests likely made it to the reception (except King Charles and Camilla, who went to the races). We all waited to see if Peter and Harriet made some kind of paid deal with one of the British outlets for wedding exclusives. Peter has form in this arena – for his first wedding, he sold exclusive wedding reception photos to Hello for £500,000. It’s widely believed that Hello Mag paid for Peter and Harriet’s exclusive engagement portraits last year as well.

At first, it looked like Peter and Harriet were choosing a different path. On Monday, they released two wedding portraits which were really nothing special, and I kind of wondered if Peter was being blocked from selling his reception photos. But Hello Magazine published another exclusive – portraits of Harriet in her gown, with details about how her Emilia Wickstead gown took “140 hours” to make. Really? That dress??

Anyway, my guess is that this was some sort of compromise for Peter – he was possibly blocked from selling his reception photos, but he was allowed to sell exclusive wedding portraits of himself and Harriet. And you know what? So be it. It’s not like he’s doing ads for Chinese milk (anymore).

    I have no problem with this at all. The photos were taken by the looks of it on public property (outside the church, good), or in a private home, to which the owner consented, one imagines this is his mother. Good luck to them — it’s nice to have news that doesn’t need spin.

    Do people really care about this couple. And he already sold pics of his first wedding.

    Sure. Get that bag, whatever. But stop talking about how it’s Meghan that’s profiting off the royal family for selling…jam and candles.

    lmao of course he did. I’m mostly surprised that hello was willing to pay. The pictures are nice but not especially interesting or different from what we already saw over the weekend. I guess the press is just very very desperate for any type of even quasi royal gossip.

    The stories about the couple probably got a lot of hits what with all the harry and Meghan talk and the hearsay that they were not invited. I am not so sure that their cover story magazine will fly off the shelves

    Doing custom design can take a lot of time. Multiple fittings etc. Hand sewing.

    She looks lovely! The gown fits perfectly.

    Too bad she can’t keep the tiara. Mine was very simple, but I bought and paid for it. So I still have it. Even though I no longer have the hubsand!
