progeny

Peter and Autumn Phillips have two daughters, Savannah Anne Kathleen Phillips (born December 29, 2010 in Gloucester , Gloucestershire ) and Isla Elizabeth Phillips (born March 29, 2012 in Gloucester, Gloucestershire). Savannah is the first grandchild of Princess Anne and the first great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II. Isla is the second oldest great-grandchild of the Queen and is probably named Elizabeth as her middle name in her honor . Both daughters were born at the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital .

Varia

Phillips is considered to be very athletic and was an avid rugby player in his school days . In August 2012 he was the guest of honor at the final of the Challenge Cup of the rugby league between the Warrington Wolves and the Leeds Rhinos at Wembley .

In January 2020, Phillips starred in a commercial for the Chinese company Bright Food . There he advertises the company's milk as a “member of the British royal family”.

When his great-grandmother Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon died , he inherited around £ 1 million .

Succession to the throne

Peter Phillips has no title of nobility, as his parents refused the Queen's offer to give their children the title of “prince” or “princess”. In addition, his father deliberately refrained from being raised to the nobility. From his birth to 1982, Phillips was number 5 on the British line of succession . With the birth of his six cousins ​​and their children, he gradually moved back to 15th place. His wife Autumn Kelly was originally Catholic, but converted to the Anglican denomination shortly before the wedding . If she had remained Catholic, Peter Phillips would have lost his right to the throne upon marriage through the Act of Settlement . The fact that a grandson of the queen could lose his right to the line of succession was taken as an opportunity by the media and politicians to discuss the abolition of the Act of Settlement . This has now been done through the implementation of the Perth Agreement .

coat of arms
