Harriet Sperling became the newest member of the Royal Family when she married Peter Phillips on June 6, and the NHS nurse has become a fast favorite among royal watchers. Harriet’s new mother-in-law, Princess Anne, has long been one of the hardest working royals, and with a pediatric nurse joining the family, she might just give the Princess Royal a run for her money.
Phillips and Sperling started dating in early 2024 when they met through their daughters’ hockey team. Harriet is the mother of a 13-year-old daughter, Georgina Sperling, from her first marriage, and her relatable life has endeared Sperling to royal fans, as royal historian Tessa Dunlop told the Sun.
