Captain Mark Phillips Attends Peter Phillips Wedding With Florence Standaert

Captain Mark Phillips attended his son Peter Phillips’s wedding to Harriet Sperling in Gloucestershire, and he arrived with his rumoured girlfriend, Florence Standaert. The gathering brought Phillips back into the same public family setting as Princess Anne, his ex-wife, at Peter’s intimate wedding.

The wedding brought together Peter Phillips, Harriet Sperling, Phillips and Standaert, along with King Charles III and Queen Camilla. The Prince William and the Princess of Wales were also present, as were the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. That turnout placed the family’s private occasion in a broader royal setting without changing the fact that the focus remained Peter and Harriet’s marriage.

Phillips’s appearance was not his first recent public link to Standaert. The Belgian equestrian was first spotted with him at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials in 2022, and they supported Zara Tindall at the Badminton Horse Trials two years later. They have since been seen together on a number of occasions over the last four years.

Princess Anne and Mark Phillips

Phillips married Princess Anne in November 1973 after their engagement was announced that year. Their marriage produced two children, Peter Phillips, born in 1977, and Zara Phillips, now Tindall, born in 1981, before the couple divorced in 1992. The source says they remain on good terms, and Phillips still regularly crosses paths with the Windsors at equestrian events.

The family link to horses runs through this public appearance as well. Phillips and Anne met in Mexico City at an event for horse riding enthusiasts, and the wedding return placed him again in view alongside relatives and the partner he has been seen with repeatedly since 2022. For readers following the family, the key detail is that the wedding assembled the former couple and Phillips’s current companion in one place.

Phillips’s latest appearance keeps attention on that settled pattern rather than on any change in status. He showed up at his son’s wedding, stood with Standaert, and crossed paths with Anne in a family setting that matched the long-running ties already visible at equestrian events.
