Andrew Snubbed From Nephew Peter Phillips’ Wedding Guest List Amid Growing Tensions
Andrew will likely not attend Peter Phillips's wedding to fiancée Harriet Sperling amid ongoing reputational concerns surrounding him.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is reportedly being snubbed from his nephew Peter Phillips's upcoming wedding. Fresh claims have surfaced, suggesting that the controversial former prince wasn’t invited to the upcoming celebration. As per a recent report, he will likely not attend the family member’s wedding to fiancée Harriet Sperling amid ongoing reputational concerns surrounding him. The reported absence would be an example of yet another significant distancing between Mountbatten-Windsor and the rest of the royal family.
Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, is set to walk down the aisle with Sterling in a private ceremony at All Saints Church in Kemble, Gloucestershire, on June 6, 2026. As per the Daily Mail, recent discussions about the guest list for the event revealed that it was “unlikely” that Mountbatten-Windsor would be making an appearance due to all the controversies trailing behind his name. He has faced intensified backlash as renewed attention has been given to his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while awaiting federal s** trafficking charges. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing on his part.
Things took a sharp turn in October 2025 when King Charles stripped his younger brother of his titles, style, and honors. Matters hit an all-time low in February 2026 when he was arrested at the Sandringham estate on his birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office, as authorities ran an investigation on the allegations that he shared classified information with Epstein during his role as a UK trade envoy. Although he was released 11 hours after being in police custody, multiple reports strongly suggest his legal future is concerning and uncertain. Amidst all this, royal insiders believe that his attendance at such a high-profile family gathering would only stir up more trouble and unwanted distraction.
Despite Mountbatten-Windsor’s expected absence, the wedding itself is still predicted to lead to a significant royal turnout. The outlet also revealed that the attendees include King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Edward, and Duchess Sophie, along with Peter’s sister Zara Tindall and her husband Mike Tindall. The gathering shall remain relatively private despite the guest list being so high profile.
Peter and Harriet’s relationship has unfolded at a steady rate in the public eye over the last two years. Rumors of a budding romance between the two surfaced for the first time when the duo was first spotted together at the Badminton Horse Trials in 2024. Then, they also appeared together at another major high-profile gathering, i.e., the Royal Ascot. In August 2025, the news of their engagement began making rounds, and their wedding date for June was confirmed in April 2026. Their marriage will mark their second wedding. Peter has two daughters from his previous marriage to Autumn Kelly. Meanwhile, Harriet also has a daughter from her ex-husband, Antonio St. John Sperling. The new blended family also joined King Charles at the Easter Sunday service in Windsor as all the children were seen walking together. It was the first public glimpse into their increasingly united family dynamic ahead of their special day.
