  • Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly to marry in Scotland Posted by BRW on January 27th, 2008 at 1:26 am

    PHOTO - Peter Phillips and Autumn KellyThe Queen’s eldest grandson, Peter Phillips, has decided to hold his wedding to Canadian Autumn Kelly in Scotland, sources claimed yesterday.

    He is said to have chosen the tiny Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral Castle. It is the village church where his mother Princess Anne married for the second time 16 years ago after her divorce from his father, Mark.

    Some constitutional experts say that unless Peter’s fiancee, a staunch Catholic, renounces her faith, he will lose his place in the line of succession to the Throne – he is 11th although he holds no Royal titles. They claim the Act of Settlement of 1701 still bans the marriage to Catholics of all Royals.

    Anne married Timothy Laurence at Crathie Kirk in 1992 after also facing an historical issue. Holding the wedding in the Church of Scotland allowed her to overcome the Church of England’s ban on divorcees remarrying.

    The engagement between Peter, 30, and Miss Kelly, 31, a management consultant, was announced in July. However, no mention was made of her religion.

  • Peter Phillips & Autumn Kelly name their Wedding Day Posted by BRW on December 15th, 2007 at 10:05 pm

    PHOTO - Autumn Kelly and Peter PhillipsPrincess Anne’s son Peter Phillips will marry his Canadian fiancee Autumn Kelly on May 17 next year, the Sunday Express can exclusively reveal.

    The Queen has given permission for her eldest grandchild to have the Saturday ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, followed by a reception at Windsor Castle.

    Peter, 30, met his bride-to-be at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal in June 2003, where he was working for Williams Formula 1.

    Autumn, who turns 30 on May 3 next year, exactly two weeks before the wedding, moved to Britain soon afterwards.

    The pair split their time between a cottage on Anne’s Gatcombe estate in Gloucestershire and a home in Edinburgh, where Peter works for the Royal Bank of Scotland.

    Prince William, 25, who is extremely close to his cousin, may be best man while Peter’s sister Zara, 26, who is also very close to Autumn, is expected to be a bridesmaid. (via Sunday Express)

  • It’s Official – Prince Harry is a Royal Gooseberry! Posted by BRW on November 19th, 2007 at 3:49 am

    Prince Harry was dubbed the “official Royal gooseberry” in front of family and friends – by his brother William.

    Lovelorn Harry, who is trying to win back girlfriend Chelsy Davy, was the only one without a partner at a birthday bash for his cousin Peter Phillips.

    Wills, 25, was joined by Kate Middleton, Peter by fiancée Autumn Kelly, Zara Phillips by rugby hunk Mike Tindall, and Princess Beatrice by Virgin hotshot Dave Clark. But Harry, 23, couldn’t persuade Zimbabwean Chelsy to attend the party on Saturday.

    A source said: “Halfway through the evening William turned to Harry and said, ‘You’re now the official Royal gooseberry. The whole group fell about laughing, except Harry who gave his brother a dirty look before smiling.”
    After the meal at trendy Cocoon restaurant in Regent Street, London, most of the Royals went to the posh Volstead club in Mayfair, while Beatrice and Dave joined a host of stars at actress Davinia Taylor’s birthday bash.

    A witness said: “They looked happy. Everyone was with their partner, except Harry.”

  • Prince William to be Best Man at Peter Phillips & Autumn Kelly’s Wedding Posted by BRW on November 16th, 2007 at 11:44 pm

    PHOTO - Peter Phillips and Autumn KellyPrince William is set to be best man at the wedding of an Edinburgh-based member of the royal family.

    Princess Anne’s son Peter Phillips, 29, is to marry his Canadian fiancee, Autumn Kelly, 31, at Windsor Castle next May.

    Peter, who is tenth in line to the throne, works as a sponsorship manager at the Royal Bank of Scotland in the Capital. He met the management consultant four years ago at the Canadian Grand Prix.

    The couple split their time between the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire and a home in Edinburgh.

    William and his brother Harry have always been close to their older cousin, which would provide the prince with plenty of ammunition for his best man’s speech.

    Peter was the first royal baby to be born a commoner in 500 years, after Anne and her then-husband Captain Mark Phillips asked that he be not given a title. (via The Scotsman)

  • Peter Phillips sympathises with Prince William and Kate Middleton Posted by BRW on October 17th, 2007 at 4:05 am

    PHOTO - Peter PhillipsAs tenth in line to the throne, he has little chance of leap-frogging Prince William to become King. Nonetheless, Peter Phillips has immense sympathy for his cousin and his girlfriend Kate Middleton.

    And, in a rare intervention, Princess Anne’s personable son has spoken about the media frenzy surrounding William’s courtship of former airline pilot’s daughter, Kate.

    Peter, 30 next month, announced his engagement to Canadian businesswoman Autumn Kelly in July and tells me: “Autumn and I have not had to endure the pressure William and Kate put up with, what with photographers dogging their every step.

    “We have been left alone and (rapping his knuckles on a mahogany bookcase) touch wood, I hope it stays that way.”

    Peter, sponsorship manager for the Royal Bank of Scotland, was speaking at the launch of Sir Jackie Stewart’s autobiography Winning Is Not Enough at Henry Sotheran’s bookshop in Mayfair.

    Confirming he will marry in Britain “probably” next year, he joked that six weeks before their marriage announcement, a rumour went round that he and Autumn, 31, were already engaged. “My father thought we’d announced it without telling him. I told him we hadn’t. We weren’t quite ready.” (via Daily Mail)

    Prince Harry Dumps Chelsy for Pals – The Daily Record
    PRINCE Harry set tongues wagging yesterday after a booze-up with pals at a singles night. His girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 21, was left at home as the 22-year-old prince and his Army buddies painted the town red. Harry and 12 pals drank in a pub before heading to a club and an event known locally as “Snog and Dog” night. Onlookers told how women swooned over Harry – but he kept his hands to himself. One source said: “There were literally hundreds of women trying to get to the group and speak to the prince…

    Buzz surrounds royal’s Montreal fiancée – The Gazette
    “People are talking about it and are happy for her,” said Sam Pergantis, the former general manager at the recently closed Cheers bar in Pointe Claire where Kelly worked as a bartender for a few years starting in the late 1990s. “She doesn’t have a bad bone in her body that girl. She’s always been pleasant,” Pergantis said. Former teachers also spoke fondly of her. “Autumn Kelly first of all the name you remembered,” said Lana Broniszewski who taught her English in Grade 11 at St. Thomas High School. Broniszewski said she wasn’t surprised she was dating Phillips. “She was the type of girl that you could see not being afraid to be out there. She wouldn’t have been intimidated to say hello.”

    Diana’s Dress Designer jumps to Zara’s defence – Western Mail
    Zara Phillips’ sense of style makes her a natural successor to Princess Diana, one of Wales’ leading designers claims in a new biography. The daughter of the Princess Royal was criticised last week by fashion watchers, who said the outfit she wore to Goodwood made her look like a chav. Phillips, the 11th in line to the throne, felt the wrath of style gurus for wearing a large pair of gold hoop earrings, chunky black wedge-heeled shoes and white linen shorts to Goodwood, rather than more formal attire.

    Right Man, Wrong Time – Daily Mail
    When Prince William split up with Kate Middleton, everybody drew their own conclusions about whether the split was final and what went wrong: the rigours of William’s army training had driven the couple apart; being only 25, the prince was simply not ready to settle yet; some even blamed Kate’s mother for failing to greet the Queen appropriately. Although there may be an element of truth in all these theories, they miss one important point: love has its own natural rhythm…

    Couple’s Dodgy Strategy – Chicago Sun Times
    Could Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have taken a page from Prince William and Kate Middleton? A source close to the actress says the supposed ”breakup” of the two stars – after an initial fling earlier this year – really was more about getting the press off their backs. Witherspoon reportedly was intrigued by the story about the British royal and his longtime girlfriend not really going their separate ways – just making it look like it.

    ..and from deep in the archives – taking you back to 2005 and first news of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly’s blossoming relationship…

    Royal Beau for Local Beauty
    – The Vancouver Sun
    Until meeting Phillips, Kelly, a 5-foot-4 strawberry blond, had a fairly typical West Island childhood. She played soccer and ringette as a girl, modelled as a teenager and attended public schools on the West Island: St. John Fisher and St. Thomas High School. She tended bar at Savannah’s, a local bar/restaurant as she studied at McGill University. …reports in London’s racier tabloids quoting unidentified sources saying that Phillips could never marry Kelly because she does not come from “the best sort of background.”…
