Peter Phillips, the eldest grandson of the late Queen Elizabeth II, has announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Harriet Sperling. The couple shared the joyous news with their inner circle, marking a new chapter in their relationship.
The 46-year-old son of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips proposed to Harriet, a healthcare professional, in a private setting. The couple has been dating for several years, and their engagement has been warmly received by friends and family.
Peter, who is 17th in line to the British throne, has largely stayed out of the royal spotlight, focusing on his career and personal life. His engagement to Harriet signifies a fresh start following his divorce from Autumn Kelly in 2021.
Harriet Sperling, who works in the medical field, has been a supportive partner to Peter. The couple’s low-key relationship has been a contrast to the often high-profile lives of other royals.
No official date has been set for the wedding, but royal watchers speculate it will be an intimate affair, in line with Peter’s preference for privacy.
