Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling were first photographed together in May

Princess Anne's son Peter Phillips brought his new girlfriend Harriet Sperling to Royal Ascot for the 4th day of the annual event.

The pair put on a loved-up display in front of cameras as the NHS nurse made her Royal Ascot debut.


Sperling looked stunning in a pale pink Beulah London dress with a Nicola de Selincourt hat, LK Bennett heels and an Aspinal of London bag.

Her other half Phillips looked equally as dapper as he donned a full morning suit and dark sunglasses.

Phillips' relationship with Sperling was confirmed in May, with a source confirming he had met someone "recently" and they were "spending time together".

The source continued:"They were laughing, taking selfies, she was taking pictures with the kids.

"At one point they were posing together as a couple and Savannah was taking pictures of them.

"It was totally relaxed, while Peter and Harriet were chatting, Isla was off playing somewhere, Savannah was with a group of pals watching the polo from the stands and then they would all come together now and again."

This comes after Philips and his partner of three years, Lindsay Wallace, shockingly split up in April.

According to the Sun, Phillips and Wallace ended their relationship because it had "run its course" and no one external is believed to have been involved in their separation.

Wallace had been in a serious relationship with the King's nephew and had been invited to several royal events including the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Phillips shares two children with his ex-wife Autumn Kelly but the couple sadly ended their 13-year marriage in 2021.

It is understood that Phillips and Wallace became close after both of their respective marriages broke down.

Autumn seems to have maintained a strong relationship with members of the Royal Family and last summer was pictured at a charity golf tournament with Peter’s sister, Zara Tindall.

Phillips spokesman, Gerard Franklin, declined to comment on Phillip's new relationship in May stating that it was a "private matter."

Phillips was joined at the polo today by his cousin Princess Beatrice.
