Princess Anne’s son Peter Phillips splits from girlfriend in Royal Family heartbreak

Son of Princess Anne, Peter Phillips, has announced that he has broken up with his girlfriend, Lindsay Wallace. Mr Phillips, 46, started dating Ms Wallace, 43, in 2021, after his divorce from ex-wife Autumn Kelly, 45.

Despite the divorce, Mr Phillips and Ms Wallace are reportedly still getting on well and no one else has been connected with the end of their relationship. A source told the Sun: “They were friends before their relationship blossomed. But Peter and Lindsay have gone their separate ways as the relationship simply ran its course.” The pair had two children from previous relationships and Ms Wallace was also a classmate of Mr Phillip’s sister, Zara Tindall. They were allegedly initially introduced when Ms Wallace and Zara attended Gordonstoun, but later became friends in 2019.

In January 2022, Mr Phillips introduced Ms Wallace to the late Queen Elizabeth II in a sign which experts said suggested Ms Wallace had been welcomed into the Royal Family. Following the late Queen’s blessing, the two began appearing as a couple at official royal engagements such as the Epsom Derby and Royal Ascot.

What’s more, they also appeared in a royal photoshoot alongside Zara Tindall and her husband Mike Tindall before making an appearance at last year’s Wimbledon alongside Queen Camilla. However, they were not present at Sandringham for Christmas, and Ms Wallace reportedly did not attend the Bahrain Grand Prix with Mr Phillips to mark the start of the Formula 1 season as part of his duties with the series.

Before their split was announced, the pair had become one of the shining couples within the royal fold as they attended key events and functions.

Last year, a friend of the couple said they were “very happy” together. Speaking to Hello!, the friend said: “[Peter Phillips] is in a great place at the moment and could not be happier in either his private or personal life. “Lindsay really is a breath of fresh air and it’s clear to see both Lindsay and Peter are loving life.”
