Royal family member, Peter Phillips, grandson of Queen Elizabeth, to wed Harriet Sperling
Peter Phillips Engaged to Harriet Sperling
Peter Phillips, the eldest grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, is set for a fresh start after announcing his engagement to Harriet Sperling. The couple, who have been seen together at multiple royal events over the past years, confirmed their engagement in August 2025.
Phillips, who does not hold a royal title in accordance with his mother's wish for her children to have as normal a life as possible, was previously married to Autumn Phillips. They married in 2009, had two children named Savannah and Isla, and announced their separation in 2020. This engagement to Harriet marks a new chapter for Phillips after his divorce.
The couple first met at a sporting event in 2024 and began dating shortly after. Their relationship was not kept secret, and they were first seen publicly together at the Badminton Horse Trials in May 2024. The couple's affectionate and close demeanour at the event reinforced the strength of their relationship.
The engagement announcement was made through a statement released on behalf of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling. The statement was followed by the couple sharing their engagement publicly with a photograph, which showed them embracing. The engagement photograph also featured Harriet flashing her ring.
In June, Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling attended Royal Ascot as guests of the King and Queen. The couple participated in the royal carriage procession, and they were also seen at Wimbledon and Prince William's charity polo match last month.
Both families and senior members of the royal family, including The King and Queen and The Prince and Princess of Wales, have been informed of the engagement and expressed delight at the news. Harriet Sperling is reportedly related to the Duke of Gloucester.
It is worth noting that Phillips is a familiar face at family events, but he is not a working royal. His sister, Zara Tindall, shares the same status. No official wedding date has been set yet for Phillips and Sperling.
