When Harriet Sperling marries Peter Phillips on Saturday, June 6, she’ll become the newest member of the Royal Family. Princess Anne’s only son announced his engagement to Sperling last August, and she’s quickly been welcomed into the royal fold. Along with being a similar age to 44-year-old Princess Kate, Harriet, 45, also shares a very common bond with the Princess of Wales.
Along with being the mom of a daughter close in age to Prince George (ironically named Georgina), Harriet, like Kate, specializes in the field of early childhood development. Sperling works as a pediatric nurse for the NHS and according to her Woman Alive bio, she “is passionate about early brain development in babies and seeing children thrive.”
