Queen’s grandson and his wife to divorce
Here’s the accurate, verified context on the news about a British royal divorce involving the Queen’s grandson 👇
Who this refers to
The story about “Queen’s grandson and his wife to divorce” most popularly refers to Peter Phillips, the eldest grandson of the late Queen Elizabeth II. He and Autumn Phillips (née Autumn Kelly) announced their separation in early 2020 after being married since 2008 and subsequently divorced. (Wikipedia)
Timeline of their marriage and divorce

- Separation announced: In February 2020, they confirmed they had decided to separate after more than a decade together and planned to divorce. (Wikipedia)
- Divorce finalized: Their divorce was legally settled on 14 June 2021. (Wikipedia)
Family and custody
They share two daughters, Savannah and Isla, and agreed to co-parent amicably following the split. (Wikipedia)
Current situation
There’s no new 2026 news about Peter and Autumn divorcing again — the reports being shared or described now are referencing that 2020–2021 divorce, which has long been completed. (Wikipedia)
Why it was news originally
At the time, the divorce was notable because Peter was the first of Queen Elizabeth II’s grandchildren to separate from a spouse, marking a modern shift for that generation of the royal family. (people.com)
