There's a slimmer group of full-time working royals these days, but even though he doesn't have a title, Princess Anne's son, Peter Phillips, is "a key part" of life within the Royal Family. Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles between 2004 and 2011, has opened up about Phillips's role in the family ahead of the royal's 48th birthday on Saturday, November 15.
The late Queen’s first grandchild is King Charles's nephew, and although he's seen at family events like Royal Ascot and Christmas festivities, Phillips doesn't take on any formal engagements on behalf of the crown. Speaking on behalf of OLBG, Harrold says that despite being number 19 in the line of succession, Peter "is still a close family member and a key part of the more private side of the family's life."
