Peter Phillips Couldn’t Stop Holding Harriet’s Hand During Loved-Up Ascot Appearance
Peter Phillips and Harriet Phillips put on a loved-up display at Royal Ascot, with the newlyweds sharing sweet moments throughout the day.
The honeymoon phase isn't over for Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling. Making a standout appearance on the final day of Royal Ascot 2026, the newly married couple could hardly keep their hands off one another. They spent much of the event side by side, radiating newlywed happiness and sharing plenty of affectionate moments throughout the day.
Phillips stayed close to Sperling throughout the outing, holding her hand as they made their way around the racecourse. He also kept an arm around her while watching the action from the royal box. The newlyweds appeared to be having a great time together, chatting away, following the races and sharing plenty of smiles as they soaked up the final day of Ascot.
The couple's style perfectly matched their romantic mood. Sperling channeled her recent bridal glow in an elegant all-white ensemble, complete with a matching fascinator. She accessorized the look with exquisite Pragnell jewelry, a STOW London bag, and a pair of glittering Manolo Blahnik x Emilia Wickstead heels, styling her blonde hair into a sleek low bun. Complementing her perfectly, Phillips looked timeless in a traditional three-piece morning suit and top hat.
However, Sperling’s outfit also caught the attention of royal fans online, with many drawing comparisons to her recent wedding look. Many fans noted that the sophisticated white look carried a distinct bridal energy, with some even wondering if it was a tailored reimagining of her wedding dress. The consensus, however, was overwhelmingly positive, with fans widely applauding her impeccable race-day style.
Royal Ascot actually marked the couple's first public outing since their wedding. Earlier in the week, Sperling arrived at the racecourse alongside Princess Anne in one of the traditional carriages during the Royal Procession. She wore a soft blue outfit paired with a matching hat. She also appeared to be settling into royal family life with ease, spending time chatting with her sister-in-law, Zara Tindall, as they watched the action from the sidelines.
Just a few weeks ago, Phillips and Sperling celebrated their wedding in the Cotswolds, surrounded by family and friends. The ceremony brought together several senior royals, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate. The bride wore a custom Emilia Wickstead gown that reportedly took months of work to create and paired it with a vintage diamond and pearl tiara loaned by Pragnell.
