Like many of his royal relatives, Phillips married at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, with a reception at Frogmore House. The Firm turned out in full force for the nuptials, with Queen Elizabeth joining Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Prince Harry, Zara Tindall and her then-boyfriend Mike, and a young Kate Middleton. Prince William, though known to be close with his cousin, was unable to attend due to a prior engagement abroad.
A dazzling affair indeed (though the cause of some controversy at the time, thanks to Peter and Autumn’s decision to run a 100-page exclusive in Hello!). The pair would go on to welcome two children: Savannah, Queen Elizabeth’s first great-grandchild, in 2010; and Isla Elizabeth, named in the monarch’s honor, in 2012.
Phillips and Kelly divorced, however, in 2021, with a statement that read: “Whilst this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the well-being and upbringing of their wonderful daughters, Savannah and Isla, first and foremost.”
A relationship would follow with Lindsay Wallace, a friend of his sister Zara’s from back at Gordonstoun. The pair took things public at the Epsom Derby in 2023, and during their relationship, Phillips took the highly significant step of introducing Wallace, the daughter of an oil tycoon, to his grandmother the late Queen at a shooting party at Windsor. In another sign of the seriousness of the relationship, Phillips brought Wallace as his date to some of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. She also attended the Coronation concert, sitting alongside Phillips’s two children from his first marriage, Savannah and Isla. Sources suggested Phillips was very content with Wallace.
Phillips “is in a great place at the moment and could not be happier in either his private or personal life,” an unnamed source told Hello! at the time. “Lindsay really is a breath of fresh air and it’s clear to see both Lindsay and Peter are loving life.”
The couple made their final public appearance at Wimbledon in 2023. They didn’t attend the royal family’s Christmas celebrations in Sandringham, and instead spent the holiday season near Wallace’s home in Scotland. The pair were pictured doing some last-minute shopping in a Tesco on Christmas Eve. However, by spring 2024, there were signs that the pair were no longer together. Phillips cut a solo figure as he joined other members of the royal family at the Cheltenham Festival in March, whilst his sister Zara Tindall was joined by her husband Mike, and his cousins Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie also bought along their plus-ones.
