British Royals Peter Phillips, Lady Eliza Spencer Announce Engagements

Peter Phillips, the King's nephew and son of Princess Anne, has announced his engagement to Harriet Sperling, an NHS nurse and mother-of-one. The couple, who have been publicly seen together at various high-profile events such as the Badminton Horse Trials, Wimbledon, Cheltenham Races, and Royal Ascot, confirmed their engagement in a joint statement that delighted both families. The King, Queen, and senior members of the royal family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, have been informed, though no wedding date has yet been set. Harriet’s integration into the royal fold has been noted with approval, especially after her appearance in the royal procession carriage at Royal Ascot. Peter, who has two daughters from his previous marriage to Autumn Kelly, is entering this new chapter following his split from a long-term partner earlier in 2024. The engagement marks a fresh joyous occasion for the royal family, with the couple’s relationship praised for its warmth and dignity.
