Crowds lined the streets of the peaceful village of Kemble today to catch a glimpse of the royal guests attending the wedding of NHS paediatric nurse Harriet Sperling and Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne. Kate Middleton—Catherine, Princess of Wales—along with King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, and Prince William, all gathered in Gloucestershire to pay their respects at All Saints’ Church. The bride wore a high-necked lace gown with a nearly 10-foot train, designed by Emilia Wickstead, a favorite of Kate Middleton.

While she chose a surprising designer for a public event earlier this week—wearing a heart-motif Rodarte dress to a reception at St James’s Palace in London marking the 125th anniversary of Cancer Research UK—for today’s highly anticipated wedding, Kate Middleton showed how to dress elegantly as a guest. To counter the gloomy weather, Catherine wore a blush-colored knee-length dress from her trusted Roland Mouret, featuring drop-waist pleating and a button-down notched collar. Proving that lighter colors are perfectly fine for a summer wedding despite the rain, she completed the look with the now Royal Warrant-holding Kiki McDonough double drop earrings, a boater-style hat by Jane Taylor, and Gianvito Rossi court shoes in similar shades.

Kate also wore a Nigel Milne Birthright three-strand pearl bracelet, which once belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

The tactile details and blush tone of the Princess of Wales’s dress also complemented Harriet Sperling’s stunning wedding gown, made from Italian ivory crepe and decorated with wildflower-motif Leavers lace—a nod to the flowers native to Gloucestershire, where both the bride and groom grew up. The wedding celebrations will continue into the afternoon at nearby Gatcombe Park, Princess Anne’s home, where Peter Phillips spent his childhood.
