Peter Phillips, Princess Anne’s son, is getting married to NHS nurse Harriet Sperling after a two-year courtship. It is not Peter’s first marriage, as he previously wed Canadian-born Autumn Kelly in a lavish ceremony in May 2008. The wedding, held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, was attended by prominent figures including the late Queen and Prince Philip, as well as his cousin Prince Harry. Princess Kate was also present at the event, marking her first meeting with the late Queen.
Following their marriage, Peter and Autumn lived in Hong Kong due to Peter’s job at the Royal Bank of Scotland before returning to the UK with their two daughters, Savannah and Isla. However, in February 2020, the couple announced their separation after 12 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized amicably, with a joint statement emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting their daughters.
After their divorce, Autumn began a relationship with Irish property tycoon Donal Mulryan, with whom she made a public appearance at the Cirencester horse trials in March 2022. Despite their separate relationships, Peter and Autumn maintain a positive co-parenting dynamic.
In August 2022, Peter announced his engagement to Harriet, with whom he was photographed showcasing her engagement ring. The couple’s upcoming nuptials mark a new chapter in Peter’s personal life, as he moves forward with his new partner.
