Peter Phillips was all smiles as he joined the royal family for their traditional Christmas Day walk to church in Sandringham. The 47-year-old businessman was accompanied by his daughters, Savannah, who turns 14 on December 29, and Isla, 12.
The girls are growing up quickly, with Savannah, dressed in a burgundy outfit, now nearly as tall as her father, and Isla resembling her mother, Autumn, in a stylish khaki green coat. The sisters were joined by their cousins—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and Mia and Lena Tindall—for the festive outing.
However, one notable absence was Peter’s girlfriend, Harriet Sperling. Harriet, a 44-year-old Paediatric Nurse Specialist with the NHS, was unable to attend as she was working over the Christmas period. Despite her busy schedule, Harriet plans to spend her limited time off with her family and will also see Peter and his daughters.
Harriet, who has a daughter of her own, has been in a relationship with Princess Anne’s son since May, when the couple made their debut at the Badminton Horse Trials. Over the summer, they attended several high-profile events together, including the Gloucestershire Festival of Polo, Royal Ascot, Prince William’s charity polo match, and Wimbledon.
Known for her impeccable style, Harriet has often worn outfits from royal-favorite brands such as Beulah London, ME+Em, and LK Bennett.
Peter, who works as Head of Partner Acquisition at CSM Sport & Entertainment, was previously in a relationship with Lindsay Steven, a friend of his sister Zara. He was married to Canadian-born Autumn Kelly for 12 years before they announced their separation in February 2020. The divorce was finalized in summer 2021. Autumn has since moved on and is now in a relationship with Irish property developer Donal Mulryan.
Peter and Harriet’s blossoming relationship has added a fresh chapter to his life as he continues to balance his professional commitments and family responsibilities.
