He was reportedly the Queen's 'favourite grandson.' But who is Peter Phillips?
Most of us recognise key members of the royal family but you'd be forgiven for wondering who some of the lesser known members of the family. After all, not every Windsor chose a life of duty and cutting ribbons.
This isn't the first sombre occasion that has thrust Philip into the spotlight as he also took centre stage in April while walking between Prince William and Prince Harry at the funeral of Prince Philip. However, for their grannie's procession the brothers put on a united front and walked alongside one another.
Philip's anonymity is surprising considering he's been around for longer than William, Harry, Beatrice or Eugenie. As the eldest child ofand her ex husband Captain Mark Phillips, he is the late Queen's first grandchild. In fact, he has been referred to as having been the Queen's 'favourite grandson', and Peter has gone on record as saying that they were 'very close.
A statement read that 'after informing HM The Queen and members of both families last year, Peter and Autumn jointly agreed to separate. They had reached the conclusion that this was the best course of action for their two children and ongoing friendship. Both families were naturally sad at the announcement, but fully supportive of Peter and Autumn in the joint decision to co parent their children.
