Peter Phillips has reportedly split from his girlfriend

A source told The Sun newspaper: "They were friends before their relationship blossomed. But Peter and Lindsay have gone their separate ways as the relationship simply ran its course."

The former couple first met back when Lindsay - who has two children from her previous marriage - was at school with Peter's sister, Zara Tindall, and it is believed they reconnected and became friends at a reunion in 2019.

Their romance was confirmed in November 2021 when Peter - who has daughters Savannah, 13, and Isla, 12, with his 45-year-old ex-wife - and Lindsay were photographed together ahead of the christening service for Lucas Tindall and August Brooksbank, the sons of Zara and her husband Mike Tindall and Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

It was reported in January 2022 that Peter had introduced Lindsay to his grandmother Queen Elizabeth.

A source told The Sun newspaper at the time: "The Queen is one of the most important people in Peter's life so it's only right that he introduces Lindsay to her. It was a very warm meeting and the Queen was clearly delighted to meet someone who makes Peter so happy.

Peter wanted his grandmother to see that he was "happy" with Lindsay and he was relieved she was "welcomed" into the fold.

The insider said: "It may still be early days but Peter wanted his grandmother to see he was happy. It is a clear sign that Lindsay has now been firmly welcomed into The Firm and a major first step if they were to ever choose to get married. The Queen just wants Peter to be happy."
