Yes, I think she's from a wealthy family. No point in being "sickened" by the cost of her outfits. I'm sure nurses couldn't afford the wardrobes of other wealthy women.
I have no idea if Phillips has flitted from one relationship to another, he seems like a private person to me.
Yes, he has wealth and privilege. His mother is the Princess Royal and he was the first grandchild of QEII.

He's had a string of women with barely time to catch his breath between them both before and after his divorce. He came out of a 2 year relationship in June last year and within days/ weeks was dating Harriet. I hope she knows what she's doing.

The comment about the cost of her clothes was the media are bigging up her being an NHS nurse but at the same time listing her outfits costing hundreds of pounds, bags and shoes etc. It doesn't bother me personally, but it's at odds with the other 'message'.

bluegreygreen · 02/08/2025 16:13

I don't think she can be held responsible for what the media print.

The NHS needs as many qualified paediatric nurses as it can get - are you suggesting she should be excluded on the basis of their background?

She's an NHS nurse, they're not excluded from practice if they're from a wealthy background. It's laudable that she's doing the job. She could just be a party planner or fashion buyer or something.

Quite.

I doubt it would be a problem at all.

Except for Charlotte I spose, as being mother to the heir would up her responsibilities

What’s her being a nurse got to do with having expensive clothes?

She can be a committed nurse as well as having family money.

No, I doubt it would be a problem.
Again, it's hypothetical and maybe best not to discuss this further.

ScarlettOYara · 02/08/2025 16:30

@HerNotIndoorsAlltheTime
Do you think when people apply for nursing courses, there should be a maximum amount of money in their bank accounts?

jumpingthehighjump · 02/08/2025 16:30

It's good she is a nurse despite being wealthy and let's hope she carries on with that, and doesn't give it up to become just a plus one who wears expensive clothes and hats and goes to Ascot.

There's nothing wrong with going to Ascot. Or even wearing expensive clothes. I genuinely don't know what the problem is?

Did you read my post?

Of course there is nothing wrong with going to Ascot. Of course there is nothing wrong with wearing expensive clothes! I've done both!!!

I SAID... I hope she doesn't give up up her nursing and doesn't just end up giving it up and just going to Ascot (going to Ascot to signify just attending posh places as the wife of one of the Royals)

My whole point is... I hope she carries on with her career. I think my post was very clear.

Honestly, I wish people would read posts properly!

No need. Really.

Maybe don't quote and reply to posts you can't be bothered to read then!

ScarlettOYara · 02/08/2025 16:58

Deep breath now, @jumpingthehighjump .
I can see that you meant you hope she didn't give up nursing. Because of the nature of your posts about her and Phillips I was guilty of misinterpretion.
Please accept my heartfelt apologies. 🙏

I have no problem with them together and I have been nothing but complimentary about her!

Doesn't matter! No worries, have a 🍷 on me!

I think Princess Anne would be a great MIL.

Really? I think she would be a scary if you didn't like horses no chance but I do like her.

Exactly.

I know someone who could be described as an "NHS worker" but they make a lot of money from an extremely niche second job that has no NHS connection (although come to think of it - it does have royal connections).

I think she's brilliant. There's nothing that woman doesn't know about horses. Or tyres. And bins.

I’d be a bit scared too, but I think she’d be fine as long as you were unpretentious and down to earth.

Frankly, with all the divorces and upset in the RF in recent decades I think she’d be happy just to see her children happy.

I’m not an ardent Royal watcher, however this seems to be the second serious relationship he’s had since his divorce, so “he’s had a string of women” seems an inappropriate description.

Very judgmental! Very inaccurate too.

Peter was in a relationship with Autumn Kelly from 2003 to 2019, and they were married for 11 years of that. They separated in 2019 and publicly announced their intention to divorce in February 2020. The divorce was finalised in 2021. Peter appeared publicly with his new girlfriend Lindsey Wallace in 2022 although their relationship started in 2021. They split up in early 2024 - the Mirror reported in April 2024 that they had broken up, and I presume neither rang the press the moment it happened. Then he was reported to be seeing his now fiancé in June 2024.

Three relationships in 22 years (and at least a year between separation and a first post-marriage relationship) is hardly a “string of women”.

The Mirror- oh, bound to be right.

Do you have links so that we can read about Peter’s string of women ? Obviously not The Mirror ….
