Peter Phillips has officially announced his engagement to Harriet Sperling after a year of dating. The news was shared alongside stunning photos of the couple, with Harriet proudly showing off her engagement ring. According to a statement from Peter's attendant, Gerard Franklin, the engagement has been confirmed, and the royal family, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales, are delighted with the news.

Peter Phillips has had a special relationship with his cousin, Prince William, as they grew up together, and this bond has been strong over the years. In a recent interview, Peter praised William and Catherine for their incredible parenting, saying: “They’ve done a great job.” This sentiment reflects the balance they maintain between their public lives and family responsibilities. Peter and William regularly spend holidays together at the late Queen Elizabeth II’s country estate and attend important royal events, such as Trooping the Colour and Christmas services at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham. These shared experiences have undoubtedly strengthened their bond.

Peter was recently a cheerleader for Prince William at his first garden party since Catherine stepped down from royal duties due to health issues. Despite the rain, Peter’s cheerful demeanor while interacting with the public may have brought comfort to William during this emotional time. Peter Phillips, the only son of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, is the eldest grandson of the late Queen Elizabeth II. He was once fifth in line to the throne, but is now 19th. After marrying Autumn Kelly and having two daughters, Savannah and Isla, Peter found love again with Harriet.

Peter proposed to her with a stunning engagement ring, described as a timeless triple diamond design with a central diamond surrounded by trapezoidal or triangular cut diamonds. While the exact value is unknown, similar designs typically start at around £10,000, reflecting the craftsmanship and quality of the stones. While Peter and Harriet have not yet set a wedding date, they have informed the King and Queen, as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales. Their public appearances, including at Badminton and Royal Ascot, have attracted attention and excitement from royal fans.
