Today I met the Queen's eldest and least well known grandson Peter Phillips, at an Australian British Chamber of Commerce Grand Prix lunch. How funny is that? I meet my first Royal on the other side of the world! When I was introduced to him I was sure he looked familiar and was wracking my brains as to where I'd seen him before. When my friend told me I had been chatting to, and shaking hands with, the Queen's grandson (son of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips and tenth in line to the throne), I said: "Ooooooohhhhh, that's it!"
He was thoroughly normal and pleasant. I have always thought his sister Zara was about the coolest thing to happen to the Royal Family—apart from the deliciously badly behaved Harry—and she always comes across as very grounded and modern. So it was really no surprise to find that this 30-something was so very unassuming and nice. Here he is pictured with his wife Autumn Kelly, being the first of the Queen's grandchildren to get married last year. Aaaw....
I've come over all British!
He still looks well horsey though

ReplyDeleteHe still looks a bit like Prince William in his more handsome days if you squint and you're in the right light. Like I said, he's no Harry...
