Peter Phillips has parted ways with his partner Lindsay Steven after being together for four years, as confirmed by a source. The 46-year-old nephew of the King and his longtime girlfriend are reported to have ended their relationship a couple of months ago.
A friend of the couple said: “Peter and Lindsay made the difficult decision to separate as they were spending less time together with work and family commitments. Peter’s business commitments and work in F1 meant he has been away and travelling nonstop.
“It obviously came as a shock as most people thought they were absolutely rock solid, it’s very sad. Peter has been travelling all over the world and has been incredibly busy and Lindsay is based up in Scotland, so it’s been hard for them to see each other.”
The son of the Princess Royal is reported to have spent Easter with Savannah, 13, and Isla, 12, his daughters from his previous marriage to Autumn Kelly.
In recent months, his roles as head of partner acquisition for the rights agency CSM Sport & Entertainment and as an ambassador for ISPS Handa have taken him around the globe. He attended the F1 Grand Prix in Bahrain and visited Australia in March.
Peter and Lindsay began their relationship in 2020 following his separation from Autumn in 2019. They made their public debut as a couple at the Epsom Derby in June 2022.
Described as “a breath of fresh air” by a friend of the couple, Lindsay, who has two children of her own, was introduced to Queen Elizabeth II by Peter following a shooting party at Windsor in 2022. They were seen together at various royal family events, including the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, and the Coronation Concert in May 2023.
At the time, a friend also said that “it meant a lot” to Peter to be able to bring Lindsay to the Concert, adding: “He is in a great place at the moment and could not be happier in either his private or personal life.”
