Peter and Harriet announced their date in April and said families and senior royals were informed. The couple have appeared together at high-profile equestrian events since May 2024 and joined the royal family for Easter services earlier this year. Both are marrying for a second time and each brings teenage daughters to the blended family.
According to published reports, some relatives were not invited: Prince Harry reportedly wasn’t asked, and another outlet said the former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were omitted amid concerns their presence could distract. Meanwhile, Epsom’s general manager said the racecourse was "honored and thrilled" to welcome the King and Queen.
