The royal 'debut' that flew under the radar on Easter Sunday

There was a brand-new face among the lineup at the royals' annual Easter Sunday service – and she somehow managed to fly under everyone's radar.

Peter Phillips' future stepdaughter was an unexpected addition to the cohort gathered in Windsor, quietly making her debut at the family's holiday church service.

The daughter of Phillips' fiancee, paediatric nurse Harriet Sperling, 13-year-old Georgina Sperling already looked the part of a royal as she descended upon St. George's Chapel.

It marked a key milestone for the blended family, with Georgina seamlessly in-stride with soon-to-be stepsisters Savannah, 15 and Isla, 14 in matching blue-hued ensembles.

The future royal and Phillips' two daughters were all photographed leaving the service together, appearing in good spirits as they headed off – presumably to the family's customary post-service lunch.

Georgina is Harriet's daughter from her previous marriage to fitness instructor Antonio St. John Sperling.

As reported by Hello!, the royal-to-be was first introduced to the wider royal family –including the Prince and Princess of Wales – last year at Balmoral, the estate in Scotland where the family has holidayed for generations.

Harriet reportedly underwent the infamous 'Balmoral Test'; an initiation of sorts conducted by the royal family to vet potential spouses.

During their stay, all newcomers are expected to navigate strict etiquette, engage in outdoor pursuits such as hunting and fishing and adhere to traditional, private royal life.

Peter, the eldest of the late Queen Elizabeth's grandchildren, was previously married to Canadian-born Autumn Kelly before announcing their separation in 2020 after 12 years of marriage.

Following the finalisation of their divorce in 2021, they both remained based in Gloucestershire to continue coparenting their two daughters.

Phillips, Princess Anne's son and King Charles' nephew, announced his engagement to Harriet last year, after a year-long whirlwind romance with the nurse.

Since their first appearance together at the Badminton Horse Trials in May 2024, Sperling has since attended a number of high-profile events with Phillips.

But the biggest indication of the seriousness of their romance came when Sperling made her carriage debut in the royal procession at Royal Ascot in June of last year.

Seated next to Phillips, Sperling's future as a royal bride was all but cemented.

The pair's wedding will take place in the All Saints Church in Kemble, near Cirencester this coming June.
