The Princess of Wales is a go to
person for advice and always willing to offer guidance according to
one member of the Royal Family.
In her first interview, Harriet
Phillips has spoken of her relationship with the Princess and was
full of praise.
Talking about how she gets support if
she needs it in her new life as part of the wider family of King
Charles, Harriet said it’s Catherine she can turn to. And she had
warm words about her cousin in law.
Harriet Phillips told Hello! magazine that ”I can look
to Catherine for advice and guidance. She is very open-hearted, and
I would always feel comfortable asking her if I need advice about
something”.
The two women also share a deep
interest in early years development and the importance of
supporting parents and children. In the interview, Harriet Phillips
announced has taken on a new role as patron of Home Start Cotswolds where she will
help champion early years mental health support.
Along with Prince William, Catherine
was one of the guests at the wedding of Harriet and Peter Phillips
which took place in June in Gloucestershire, close to the Gatcombe
Park estate. Princess Anne lives there with both her children,
Peter and Zara, having bases there along with their families.
Five months after her wedding,
Harriet has opened the doors of her Cotswolds home to Hello! for an
exclusive interview, accompanied by an extensive photo shoot in
which she showcased her already noted sense of style.
Harriet Sperling married Peter
Phillips in June after an engagement of ten months. In the run up
to their wedding announcement, the couple had been seen at a number
of notable events together including Royal Ascot and Wimbledon,
prompting speculation that they would marry.
With just months to go until their
big day, Harriet joined the Royal Family at their Easter
celebrations at Windsor and her composure and confidence was noted
then.
Since her marriage, she’s been part
of wider family events, taking part in the carriage procession at
Royal Ascot. It’s expected that she will be seen with them again at
Christmas as she and Peter Phillips mark their first festive season
as a married couple. Peter and his sister, Zara Tindall, have both
been guests at the now traditional ‘Together at Christmas’ concert
organised at Westminster Abbey every year by the Princess of
Wales.
Given the bond that already exists
between them, it seems likely that Harriet will be at the Abbey in
her first year as part of the Royal Family.
