Harriet Sperling’s life before royalty – NHS nurse joins the Firm today | Royal | News

Today, Harriet Sperling will join the Royal Family by marrying Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips. Harriet is an NHS nurse and first met Peter two years ago. Senior royals will be out in full force to welcome the newest member of the Royal Family.

A wedding is an extremely high-profile event. The wedding will take place at a church service in Gloucestershire this afternoon. Harriet, 45, is a mother of one and an NHS pediatric nurse. In addition to being a pediatric nurse, she also works as a freelance writer.

She has previously mentioned that she is “passionate about early brain development in babies and seeing children develop.” Mirror.

Harriet’s daughter Georgina is 13 years old. Georgina’s father is fitness instructor Antonio St John Sperling, from Harriet’s first marriage.

Harriet is also known for having strong religious roots; She previously shared how she drew great strength from her Christian faith as she struggled through the early years of single parenthood, “where resources were scarce and the future uncertain.”

In a 2009 interview he said: “Somehow [faith] It didn’t seem relevant to my life in London.

“But the end of a seven-year relationship was a turning point for me. I went to church because I felt something was missing.”

Harriet and Peter reportedly met at a sporting event in the spring of 2024 that included their daughters.

Months later the couple made their debut when they appeared together at the Badminton Horse Trials, where Harriet was joined by Peter’s mother Anne, sister-in-law Zara and Queen Camilla.

A friend of Phillips told The Telegraph at the time that the pair “enjoyed being together and spent time together like any normal couple.”

One audience member said of Sperling at the time: “She seemed so happy and comfortable around him and was pleased to show off at one of the biggest social events in the equestrian world.”
