Royal Romance: King's nephew Peter Phillips re-enters dating scene just a month after split from ex

Queen Elizabeth's 'favourite grandson' takes date to a posh horse event attended by Queen Camilla.

King Charle’s nephew, Peter Phillips, has recently been seen in public with a new partner shortly after the end of a three-year relationship. 

The new partner, Harriet Sperling, is a pediatric nurse and freelance writer.  They were observed together at the Badminton Horse Trials, where they were seen walking hand in hand. 

During their time there, they observed cross-country horse riding on Saturday before departing with Phillips's two daughters, Savannah, 13, and Isla, 12, whom he shares custody with his former wife, Autumn Kelly.

Peter Phillips is the son of Olympic gold medal-winning horseman Mark Phillips and Anne, Princess Royal who is King Charles’ only sister.

On Sunday, at the same event in Gloucestershire, Phillips conversed with the Queen in the presence of Sperling.

A source close to Phillips told the Telegraph that he has recently begun spending time with someone, although the exact nature of their relationship is not yet defined. 

When approached for comment, Gerard Franklin, Phillips's spokesperson, declined, citing the sensitivity of the situation. 

This development follows Phillips's recent separation from Lindsay Wallace, 43, which occurred just a month prior. 

Wallace had been integrated into royal events during their relationship, including those commemorating the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, and the Coronation Concert. 

According to The Telegraph, Phillips’ separation from Wallace was amicable and mutually agreed upon.

Wallace, a mother of two from a previous relationship, attended school with Phillips’s sister, Zara Tindall. Their first public appearance together was at the Epsom Derby in June 2022, a year after Phillips finalised his divorce from Autumn Kelly.
