Britain's royal family will celebrate a royal wedding on Saturday when Peter Phillips, a nephew of King Charles III and son of Princess Anne, ties the knot.

Phillips, one of Anne's two children, is scheduled to marry Harriet Sperling in a ceremony in Cirencester, England, a small town about two hours from London.

The wedding will be the second for Phillips, a father of two daughters and the eldest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

Sperling is the mother of a teenage daughter, who, with her mom, joined the royal family at Easter service in April.

The wedding is a private event, so no guest list has been publicly released.

Among Phillips' royal family members who may attend are his mother, Anne, and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, along with his sister, Zara Tindall, and her husband, Mike Tindall.

Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, and Prince Edward, Anne and Charles' younger brother, and his wife Sophie, the Duchess of Wessex, are also potential attendees.

Phillips' cousin, Prince William, and his wife, Kate, the Princess of Wales, are also likely to attend.

Neither Phillips' uncle, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, nor his cousin, Prince Harry -- the king's brother and younger son respectively -- are expected to attend.
