Canadian Autumn Kelly Marries Queen's Grandson
Saturday May 17, 2008
Montreal native Autumn Kelly is marrying Peter Phillips, the Queen's oldest grandson, in a modest Royal wedding in Windsor Castle today.
The couple met at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal in 2003. Peter Phillips is the son of Princess Anne and 11th in line to the throne. At his mother's request, Peter Phillips does not have a Royal title nor does he perform Royal engagements. Phillips works for the Royal Bank of Scotland. Autumn Kelly is a graduate of McGill University in Montreal and works as an assistant to British media personality Sir Michael Parkinson. She plans to continue with her job after the wedding, and told "Hello! Magazine" that she will keep her Canadian passport.
About 300 guests were invited to the private wedding, including the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Charles.
