Inside Peter Phillips’ ‘passionate’ relationship with Harriet Sperling, who looks just like his ex-partner and ex-wife

King’s nephew is in a new relationship with a nurse who looks a lot like his former partner and wife.

Peter Phillips was revealed by The Sun just a month ago that he had ended his previous three-year romance with Lindsay Wallace, 43.

The 46-year-old businessman – son of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips – spent the weekend strolling hand-in-hand at badminton with girlfriend Harriet Sperling.

Harriet, a pediatric specialist nurse and freelance writer in her 40s, sported a pink maxi dress and sunglasses on Saturday.

A friend of Peter’s confirmed to The Sun that the royal had recently met someone and they were spending time together, stressing that it was too early for anything more.

Sources said his relationship with Lindsay simply “ran its course.”

STUNNING SIMILARITY

Harriet bears a striking resemblance to Lindsay and Peter’s ex-wife Autumn Kelly, 46.

All three women sport long blonde hair and dark eyes.

Peter and Harriet watched the cross-country horse ride in a sponsor’s tent before setting off in a vehicle with Peter’s daughters Savannah, 13, and Isla, 12.

Yesterday they were back at the elegant Gloucestershire event, where Peter warmly greeted Queen Camilla.

It is unclear whether Harriet was formally introduced to the Queen or to Peter’s mother and stepfather, Sir Tim Laurence.

He and Canadian-born Autumn, the mother of his two daughters, announced their engagement in 2007 and were married in 2008.

But in February 2020 they confirmed that they had split the previous year.

Their 13-year marriage ended in divorce in June 2021.

Peter met Lindsay, a former classmate of sister Zara, at the £45,000-a-year Gordonstoun School in Moray, Scotland.

They reconnected in a 2019 reunion and The Sun revealed they started dating in March 2021.

The relationship became so serious that Lindsay was introduced to her grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, at Windsor Castle in January 2022.

One witness said of Peter and Harriet: “They looked completely in love and he was smiling from ear to ear. “He looked like the cat who got the cream and acted without a care in the world. I saw them together.

“She seemed very happy and relaxed in his company and pleased to be showcased at one of the biggest social events in the equestrian world.

“His love life has certainly taken some public turns in recent years.

“But they seemed extremely close and seemed to have known each other for some time.

“They certainly seemed very happy and seemed to have gotten over any previous relationship issues.”

NO REAL TITLE

Despite being the eldest grandson of the late Queen, Peter was not given a royal title at birth, as his parents wanted him and Zara to lead as normal a life as possible.

Peter kept the peace at Prince Philip’s funeral in April 2021, standing between his cousins, at war between William and Harry.

Last Christmas, he did not join the other royals at Sandingham.

Away from royal life, he ran several companies and last year wanted to open an ice rink at Kensington Palace.

A spokesman for Peter declined to comment last night.
