Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s ‘words’ outside church following wedding ceremony

As they emerged from the church, Peter and Harriet were met with the pouring rain.

According to lip reading expert Nicola Hickling, Peter took care to protect his new bride from the weather with an umbrella.

Speaking to Betfair Casino, Nicola shared details on what she thinks Peter and Harriet said to one another.

I think they’d like us to kiss.

Peter reportedly told his bride: “Grab hold of that, so we can get through. You can pass it back because we’re getting wet through.”

He then adds: “Come, you need to give it back, we are getting drenched.”

Peter then tells Harriet: “Let’s do several quick movements for them – now this side. It’s getting heavy, my arm is aching.”

Harriet then says: “I think they’d like us to kiss.”

Royals attend Peter and Harriet’s big day

The king and queen led royal arrivals at the wedding ceremony on Saturday.

Peter’s sister Zara Tindall attended alongside her husband, Mike.

Peter’s cousins Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were also in attendance following speculation they may not attend. It’s a tough time for the sisters as their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, face intense scrutiny over their past links to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Meanwhile, Peter’s daughters Savannah and Isla were Harriet’s bridesmaids on the day alongside Harriet’s daughter, Georgina.

Harriet looked stunning in a white high-neck lace dress by Emilia Wickstead, a brand loved by the Princess of Wales.
