Peter Phillips and his wife Harriet had plenty to celebrate at Royal Ascot as they bet on a winning horse on Saturday.

The newlywed couple, who made their debut at this year's racing festival, appeared to have chosen well as they cheered after Almeraq won the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.

Peter was seen throwing his hands in the air and grinning as he and Harriet celebrated with a group of friends.

The four-year-old horse, ridden by Ryan Moore, was a 25/1 shot for the feature race on the final day of Ascot.

Harriet looked incredible for the outing in a bridal-inspired white Beulah dress with a floral print and lace sleeves. She paired it with a netted hat from Jane Taylor.

Harriet complemented her dress with gorgeous jewellery from Pragnell, glittering shoes from Manolo Blahnik x Emilia Wickstead and a STOW London bag.

Peter dressed in a three-piece suit and top hat – the typical dress code for men at Ascot.

The couple had made their first public appearance since their wedding at Royal Ascot on 16 June, four days earlier.

Wedding Day

Harriet and Peter tied the knot on 6 June at All Saints Church, which is located in Kemble, Cirencester, close to where the bride grew up.

The couple said "I do" in front of members of the royal family, including the King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales and Peter's mother, Princess Anne

Harriet looked incredible in an Emilia Wickstead gown that took 140 hours to make. The bespoke bridal gown featured a high square neckline, long lace sleeves and a sweeping veil, teamed with matching white Jimmy Choo heels. She paired the dress with a vintage diamond and pearl tiara loaned by Pragnell.

Designer Emilia Wickstead revealed the custom wedding gown was crafted by the in-house team at their west London atelier. 

"Every element is rooted in a signature Emilia Wickstead silhouette and realised in Italian ivory crêpe, overlaid with exceptionally fine French Leavers lace featuring an all-over prairie flower motif that continues to the edge of Harriet’s veil. The lace is meticulously hand-applied throughout," the designer shared.
