Queen Elizabeth's grandchild to marry

30-07-2007This Month 30th Jul 13:00

Britain's Peter Phillips is set to be Queen Elizabeth's first granchild to get married.

Peter - the son of Princess Anne and her ex-husband Mark Phillips - is planning to wed his girlfriend of four years, Montreal-born Autumn Kelly, in 2008.

The couple met at the Canadian Grand Prix when Peter, 29, was a sponsorship manger for the Williams Formula 1 team.

The smitten pair soon moved into together and they now share a cottage on Princess Anne's Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.

Last year, 31-year-old Autumn - who is described as "clever, funny and down to earth" - joined the queen and the rest of the royal family on a cruise.

She also attended the queen's 80th birthday celebrations at London's Ritz Hotel last December and accompanied Peter to last month's Royal Ascot.

Before meeting Autumn, Peter dated American cod-liver oil heiress Elizabeth Iorio and air stewardess Tara Swain.
