\u201cMr Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips and Ms Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr Rupert Sanders and Mrs Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire<\/a>, have today confirmed their official engagement,” read an official statement that was released on behalf of the couple on Friday, August 1.<\/p>\n
