The King’s nephew Peter Phillips is dating again – just a month after The Sun revealed he had ended their previous three-year romance.
The King’s nephew and Harriet Sperling spent the entire weekend at badminton, strolling hand in hand through the crowd and rarely leaving each other’s side.

Harriet, a pediatric specialist nurse and freelance writer in her 40s, sported a pink maxi dress and sunglasses on Saturday.
The couple watched the cross-country horse ride from 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.
The two royals chatted briefly as glamorous mother Harriet looked on.
It’s unclear whether she was formally introduced to the Queen or to Peter’s mother, Princess Anne, and stepfather, Sir Tim Laurence.
Peter’s father is Captain Mark Phillips.
Her sister Zara Tindall, 42, and her husband Mike, 45, were also at the horse party this weekend.
A 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.
“He didn’t seem to care who 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.”
A friend of Peter’s confirmed that the royal had recently met someone and they were spending time together, stressing that it was too early for anything more.
It comes just weeks after divorced Peter, 46, who is 18th in line to the throne, split from his partner of three years, Lindsay Wallace, 43.
‘Followed its course’
Sources told The Sun the relationship simply “ran its course”.
Harriet bears a striking resemblance to Lindsay and Peter’s ex-wife Autumn Kelly, 46.
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 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.
Later that year, Peter and Lindsay appeared together as a couple at Royal Ascot and the Epsom Derby.
They also appeared clearly in love in a Vogue Australia photo shoot with the Tindalls.
Last summer, Lindsay appeared in the Royal Box at Wimbledon with Peter and Queen Camilla.
But the couple called it quits earlier this year.
No one else is believed to be involved and the end of the relationship has been described as “amicable”.
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.
