Peter Phillips' NHS nurse girlfriend wears £3,720 outfit to Royal Ascot - as she dresses head-to-toe in royal-approved brands
For most NHS nurses across the country, a hat costing just shy of £950 is out of the question. But Peter Phillips ' girlfriend, Harriet Sperling, stepped out of the royal carriage at Ascot yesterday in an outfit totting up to £3,720 - all from royal-approved brands. Harriet, 45, played the part perfectly in a Suzannah London ivory ensemble featuring a cropped jacket with puffed sleeves and matching skirt, costing £890 and £995 respectively. Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, was dressed by the same designer yesterday in an ivory appliqué daisy lace ensemble costing £3,780. Harriet paired her look with a £395 clutch and £495 mid heel pumps, both by Emmy London, a brand which has been worn by both Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Zara Tindall. While the clutch and heels were repeats, the rest of her outfit was new for Ascot. The most eye-watering cost of all was £945 Awon Golding Millinery hat she wore, a designer previously worn by Meghan Markle. Peter, 47, who is King Charles's nephew, has been dating Harriet for over a year, after breaking up with his previous partner of three years, Lindsay Wallace. Peter, 47, who is King Charles's nephew, has been dating Harriet for over a year, after breaking up with his previous partner of three years, Lindsay Wallace. And the invitation to join the prestigious procession can be seen as a seal of approval from the King and a very high honour. According to royal reporter Ian Lloyd, the late Queen Elizabeth didn't include royal girlfriends in the procession unless they were engaged. In 2022 Peter's ex-girlfriend Lindsay Wallace broke royal tradition with her Ascot appearance as she rode in a carriage despite the couple not being engaged. Harriet is reported to live in Gloucestershire and works as a Paediatric Nurse Specialist for the NHS. The average salary for this role can range between £37,000 to £58,000 per year. Last year, the couple packed on the PDA before meeting with the King and Queen, embarking on their new romance just weeks after his split from Lindsay. The smitten pair have since attended an array of high society events together, including Wimbledon and the Badminton Horse Trials - as well as Cheltenham Races in January. Yesterday, she appeared to be getting on swimmingly with the royals, chatting with Princess Anne on the balcony, while Peter's sister Zara Tindall was at one point seen helping out by fixing her hat. Zara - often regarded for her gregarious manner and popularity among the royal family - was seen exchanging casual greetings and hugs and kisses with the rest of the family. In 2010, Harriet was a key member of a team of medics, doctors and clinicians who helped save the life of a critically ill baby, named Phineas, after he was struck down by a deadly virus aged just three weeks. She featured in a unique tribute, created by Phineas' photographer father Michael Cockerham, which was published in the Guardian Weekend Magazine. The pediatric nurse is related to the Duke of Gloucester through her late father, The Telegraph reported previously. But her curious family ties do not stop there, as the paper also revealed that Harriet's second cousin once removed is Christopher Courage, 61, a descendant of the Courage Brewery's founder John Courage. While no information is available about her ex-husband, Harriet has a daughter, thought to be around the same age as Peter's girls, Savannah, 14, and Isla, 12, whom he shares with ex-wife, Autumn. Peter and Autumn ended their 13-year marriage with a divorce in 2020, but continue to co- parent their daughters. It seems that Harriet may have won the royal seal of approval with her pricey Ascot look. How to win royal approval at Ascot While no dress code rules apply in the Windsor Enclosure, although the majority of guests choose to dress up regardless, a strict dress code operates across the Royal and Queen Anne Enclosures. Hats are a must in both Royal enclosures. Alternatively, a headpiece or 'hatinator' with a minimum base diameter of four inches (10cm) is also acceptable. Dresses must be knee length or longer and forget spaghetti straps - all shoulders must be a minimum width of one inch (2.5cm). Strapless, off-the-shoulder and one shoulder items are also banned. Shorts of any kind are not permitted. But having been included in the dress code since 1971, trouser suits remain a popular choice - although they mustn't be mismatched. From 2017 onwards, jumpsuits have also been accepted as Ascot worthy, while men must stick to black dress shoes worn with ankle socks, but there are no footwear specifications for women.

Kate Middleton channels her late mother-in-law Diana with clever style trick at naming ceremony
Catherine, Princess of Wales, and her late mother-in-law Princess Diana never had the chance to meet, but they share a clear connection through their impeccable sense of style. Both women have become fashion icons of their time - Diana for her bold, trend-setting looks in the 1980s and 90s, and Kate for her modern take on royal dressing. Over the years, Kate has often drawn inspiration from Diana, subtly honouring her through her wardrobe choices. From sequinned evening gowns to polka dot prints, there is a recurring echo of Diana's influence in Kate's outfits. A recent example came during the official naming ceremony of the Royal Navy's HMS Glasgow, where Kate wore a nautical-inspired outfit that offered a nod to her mother-in-law's style. She opted for a sophisticated navy and white coat dress by Suzannah London. Crafted from luxurious Italian wool crepe, it featured a figure-skimming silhouette and flap pockets, accented with a refined white trim. The naval theme served as a subtle tribute to Princess Diana, who was often seen in skirt suits with a similar flair during the 1980s and 90s. It also incorporated structured shoulder pads, a signature design element that Diana frequently favoured. The subtle padding added definition and strength to the silhouette, enhancing Kate's posture and lending the look a powerful edge. Much like her mother-in-law's signature power suits, the shoulder detail underscored both confidence and grace - qualities embodied by both women in their public roles. In true Diana style, Kate completed the look with a dramatic wide-brimmed hat by Philip Treacy, which she debuted at the 2022 Trooping the Colour, along with an Emmy London clutch and Gianvito Rossi heels. Adding a personal and sentimental touch, she wore the Cabochon Sapphire Drop Earrings, thought to have been a wedding gift to Diana. The floral-inspired double-drop design beautifully complemented her sapphire engagement ring, another treasured heirloom passed down from the late Princess. With this ensemble, Kate once again demonstrated her ability to merge tradition with modernity - honouring Diana's legacy while defining her own sense of royal style. In contrast to her mother-in-law's consistent choice of black footwear, Kate opted for her go-to nude suede court shoes - a trusted pair she has worn on countless occasions. She added a bespoke brooch by James Porter & Son, one of Scotland's oldest jewellers, founded in 1858 and based in Glasgow's historic Argyll Arcade. The piece was specially commissioned to reflect the crest of HMS Glasgow. Its creation was funded by two London livery companies: the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers and the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors.
