Peter Phillips shares an exciting update as he prepares for a major life change
The royal family is set to enjoy a welcome moment of happiness after a difficult year marked by scandals and tension. This time, the good news comes from King Charles’s eldest nephew, Peter Phillips.
Peter, who recently turned 48, is preparing to marry again after announcing his engagement to NHS nurse Harriet Sperling in July. The couple have not revealed a wedding date yet, but a former royal staffer believes plans are already in motion.
Grant Harrold, the King’s former butler, said Peter is likely to hold on to at least one traditional element for his upcoming ceremony. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he noted that despite being divorced, Peter is expected to opt for a classic celebration. He added that traditions have shifted over time, as second weddings were once expected to be modest and understated.
Harriet, who has spoken openly about her Christian faith and how it has helped her through difficult periods, has been with Peter since May 2024. Before sharing the news with the public, the couple informed King Charles and Queen Camilla of their plan to marry.
William and Catherine were also told about the engagement, which has brought a welcome sense of joy to the family.
