ROYALLY CLOSE: PHILLIPS CLAN ENJOY A SUN-KISSED WEDDING

ZARA TINDALL AND PETER PHILLIPS' HALF SISTER STEPHANIE GETS MARRIED IN A RELAXED CEREMONY

- CLARE FISHER

It was a royal wedding - but not quite as we know it. The marriage of Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall's half-sister Stephanie Phillips to William Hosier may have featured some familiar faces from the monarchy but the vibe was much more country celebration than royal revelry.

Captain Mark Phillips, 73, the ex-husband of Princess Anne, walked his youngest daughter down the aisle at St Mary the Virgin Church in Tetbury, a village in the Cotswolds, as her half-siblings looked on. Zara's outfit turned heads as she made her way into the church in a cornflower blue Zimmermann mini dress coat while holding hands with her daughter Lena. Her husband, former rugby player Mike, was also in attendance, having rushed back from competing in a charity bike ride for the occasion. He revealed on his The Good, The Bad And The Rugby podcast, "I, fortunately, get the last day off and I have to be back for a wedding."

Princess Anne, 71, was also there to celebrate Stephanie and William's special day, and she looked stylish in a plaid skirt suit.
