Peter Phillips, the nephew of King Charles, is preparing to marry NHS nurse Harriet Sperling after a two-year courtship. This will be Peter’s second marriage, as he previously wed Canadian-born Autumn Kelly in a lavish ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in May 2008. Notable guests at the wedding included the late Queen and Prince Philip, with Prince Harry attending in place of an absent Prince William.
Following their marriage, Peter and Autumn lived in Hong Kong due to Peter’s job with the Royal Bank of Scotland before settling back in the UK with their two daughters, Savannah and Isla. However, in February 2020, the couple announced their separation after 12 years of marriage, stating their commitment to prioritizing their daughters’ well-being.
Subsequently, Autumn began a relationship with Irish property tycoon Donal Mulryan, with the couple making their public debut at the Cirencester horse trials in March 2022. Despite their divorce, Peter and Autumn maintain a positive co-parenting relationship.
In 2022, both Peter and Autumn attended the wedding of William Hosier and Stephanie Phillips. Autumn was accompanied by Donal, while Peter was with his girlfriend Lindsay Wallace. The amicable relationship between Peter and Autumn was evident as they co-parented their daughters and attended events together.
Peter’s engagement to Harriet was announced in August, with photos released to mark the occasion showing Ms. Sperling wearing her engagement ring. The couple seems to be moving forward positively, while Autumn continues her relationship with Donal, appearing at events alongside Peter and maintaining a cordial relationship with the royal family.
