Queen Elizabeth’s Grandson Peter Phillips Engages NHS Nurse Harriet Sperling

Peter Phillips, the eldest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth and son of Princess Anne, has announced his engagement to pediatric nurse Harriet Sperling after a year of dating. The couple confirmed their engagement jointly with both families delighted by the news, and senior royals including The King, Queen, Prince, and Princess of Wales have been informed; however, no wedding date has been set. Harriet's engagement ring has been described by diamond expert Tobias Kormind as a timeless trilogy design, likely featuring a central oval or round diamond flanked by trapeze-cut or triangular side stones, with an estimated value starting around £10,000. This will be Peter’s second marriage, following his divorce from Autumn Kelly, with whom he shares two daughters, Savannah and Isla, who along with Harriet’s daughter are expected to have prominent roles in the wedding. Former royal butler Grant Harrold predicts the wedding will be a grand, traditional white affair despite Phillips being a divorcee. The engagement marks a new chapter for Phillips and Sperling, who have been publicly seen together at royal events such as Royal Ascot and the Badminton Horse Trials.
