Phoebe Knatchbull, the daughter of the Hon. Philip Knatchbull and Atalanta Cowan, was a beautiful bride once again as she hosted her second wedding celebration with Leopold Glover over the weekend.

Her sister, fashion designer Daisy Knatchbull, took to Instagram to share the first photos of the show-stopping wedding in Sola de Lavada in Portugal. "In her Mrs G era," Daisy wrote, tagging the location on Instagram.

Photos showed Phoebe looking resplendent in a strapless lace dress with a fitted bodice and a belted waist. Pearl earrings and a sparkly bracelet completed her bridal outfit, while her beauty look consisted of dewy, soft glam makeup and her long blonde hair styled in waves and pulled into a half-updo. 

Meanwhile, bridesmaid Daisy looked elegant in a blue floor-length dress with a neck scarf.

The bride, who is a third cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry, later changed into a white and silver sequin mini dress for the evening reception, where she was spotted partying on the dance floor on someone's shoulders.

The rest of the weekend celebrations included a live band, fireworks and a pool party.

The great-granddaughter of Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma and the  British investment banker are childhood sweethearts who are thought to have met at Garden House School in Chelsea.

Despite her aristocratic roots, Phoebe maintained a low public profile, keeping her relationship out of the spotlight. They got engaged in Central Park, New York, with Leopold presenting his future bride with a sapphire trilogy ring.

The couple got married in February 2025 in an intimate ceremony at the Kensington and Chelsea Registry Office in London. 

Side-stepping the traditional white gown, the bride looked striking in a custom bridal mini dress designed by her sister, who is founder of the Savile Row tailoring brand Knatchbull. Phoebe had customised the £1,995 cream tailored frock to include her new surname, with  "Mrs Glover" embroidered in blue, she told Vogue.

"I wore a Cartier necklace my mother lent to me, which was my ‘something borrowed’, pearl and diamond earrings my godmother gave me as a wedding present, and lastly, Leo had his late mother’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring made into a bracelet for me, which was the most special present I’ve ever received," Phoebe added.

Showing their similar tastes in fashion, Daisy had worn the same tuxedo dress 17 months earlier as she attended a 2023 event.

Over one year later, Phoebe, who works as a global account development director at Freuds+ in New York, chose to host a bigger celebration with a much larger guest list.

It is thought that neither Prince William nor Prince Harry attended either ceremony, with the Prince and Princess of Wales on a family holiday in Mustique in 2025 and enjoying summer holidays in 2026.
