First great-grandchild for Queen

breaking news

Autumn Phillips, wife of the Queen’s grandson Peter Phillips, gave birth to a baby daughter on Wednesday, Buckingham Palace has announced.

The newborn, who is 12th in line to the throne, is the Queen’s first great-grandchild.

Mr Phillips, son of Princess Anne and the Queen’s eldest grandson, met his wife while working at the Montreal Grand Prix in 2003.

They were married at Windsor Castle in May 2008.

Mrs Phillips, a former Roman Catholic, was accepted into the Church of England shortly before their wedding.

Her husband would have had to give up his right to the throne had she not done so.
