Princess Anne son’s is tying the knot with NHS nurse Harriet Sperling after just two years of dating today – however, it is not the first time that Peter Phillips has wed.

The 48-year-old, a nephew of King Charles, married first wife, Canadian-born Autumn Kelly, back in May 2008 in a grand ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, with guests including the late Queen and Prince Philip as well as his cousin Prince Harry, although Prince William was unable to attend.

Despite not yet being married, Princess Kate attended the nuptials, with many believing it was her first time meeting the late Queen.

The couple spent time living in Hong Kong through Peter’s previous job with the Royal Bank of Scotland and eventually settled back in the UK with their two daughters Savannah, 14, the late Queen’s oldest great-grandchild and Isla, 13.

However, in February 2020, the couple announced they would be separating after their 12-year marriage. Their divorce was finalised “amicably” and they released a statement explaining: “Whilst this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the wellbeing and upbringing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first and foremost.

“Both Peter and Autumn are pleased to have resolved matters amicably with the children firmly at the forefront of those thoughts and decisions. Peter and Autumn have requested privacy and consideration for their children as the family adapts to a new chapter in their lives.”

Just one year after their divorce, it emerged Autumn had struck up a romance with wealthy Irish property tycoon Donal Mulryan. The couple had known each other for several years, and Mulryan was in the midst of a separation from his previous wife when the romance rumours started.

Autumn and Donal made their public debut as a couple at the Cirencester horse trials in March 2022, with the couple appearing alongside Autumn’s former sister-in-law, Zara Tindall, and her family.

Since then, the couple have been spotted at numerous events together, including Cheltenham races which are also attended by the royals. Autumn and Peter are believed to still have a good relationship as they co-parent their daughters.

In 2022, Peter and Autumn attended the same wedding, with Autumn bringing Donal to the event while Peter was joined by his then-girlfriend Lindsay Wallace. The nuptials were for William Hosier and Stephanie Phillips – the daughter of Peter’s father Captain Mark Phillips and his second wife Sandy Pflueger.

Earlier this year, Autumn and Donal attended Cheltenham Festival at the same time as Harriet and Peter, while Autumn also joined ex-sister-in-law Zara for a cosy picture at Mike Tindall’s annual golf day.

Peter announced his engagement to girlfriend Harriet last August. The couple were pictured in photographs released to mark the occasion with Ms Sperling showing off her engagement ring.
