Autumn Kelly, the ex-wife of Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, was officially photographed with her new partner for the first time shortly before her ex-husband’s wedding announcement.<\/p>\n

Mr Phillips, the eldest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, has revealed he will marry NHS nurse Harriet Sperling this summer.<\/p>\n

This comes five years after he finalised his divorce with Ms Kelly, with whom he shares two daughters, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14.<\/p>\n

Mr Phillips’s wedding to Ms Kelly took place at St George’s Chapel, Windsor in 2008, attended by numerous senior royals, including the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.<\/p>\n

Following their separation announcement in February 2020, the pair finalised their divorce amicably in 2021 after 12 years of marriage.<\/p>\n

At the time, they released a statement emphasising that their children’s wellbeing remained their primary concern.<\/p>\n

The former couple are understood to maintain a positive relationship as they continue raising their daughters together.<\/p>\n

Ms Kelly has since found love with Irish property developer Donal Mulryan.<\/p>\n

In addition, Mr Phillips’s younger sister, Zara Tindall, made an appearance that day alongside her husband, Mike Tindall.<\/p>\n

Princess Anne’s son and his fianc\u00e9e have selected Saturday, June 6 for their nuptials, which will take place at All Saints Church in the Gloucestershire village of Kemble, near Cirencester.<\/p>\n

The ceremony will be a private affair, with further details expected to be shared in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

The couple first began their relationship approximately two years ago, with their romance developing away from the public spotlight.<\/p>\n

Their engagement was made public in August of last year, marking a significant step forward for Mr Phillips following his divorce.<\/p>\n

Ms Sperling works as a nurse within the National Health Service, though the pair have largely kept details of their courtship private.<\/p>\n

Both families have now been jointly notified of the summer wedding date through formal invitations, signalling the occasion’s importance to those closest to the couple.<\/p>\n

The King and Queen have been made aware of the forthcoming wedding, as have the Prince and Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Autumn Kelly, the ex-wife of Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, was officially photographed with her new partner for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":508266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,22318,1852,2331,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-508265","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-princess-anne","11":"tag-royal","12":"tag-sgg","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
