Peter Phillips' New Girlfriend Is an NHS Nurse—With a Surprisingly Aristocratic Background

What happens when royalty meets resilience? Peter Phillips, Princess Anne’s son and the Queen’s eldest grandchild, has made headlines by stepping out with his new partner, Harriet Sperling—an NHS paediatric intensive care nurse—at Royal Ascot.

But Harriet is far from ordinary. Beyond her hospital scrubs lies a family tree rich in nobility. Her mother once appeared in Country Life magazine’s “Girls in Pearls,” and her grandfather was a decorated WWII veteran, High Sheriff of Gloucestershire, and media editor. The nurse’s maternal roots also trace back to the Courage brewing dynasty.

Harriet made a striking debut in the Royal Ascot carriage procession alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla—an appearance previously reserved only for royal fiancées, signaling serious intent. Sources say she fits in seamlessly with the royal inner circle, even drawing comparisons to Princess Anne for her composure.

From private school to Ibiza summers to single motherhood and Christian devotion, Harriet’s story blends elegance, grit, and tradition. Could another royal wedding be on the horizon?
