Peter Phillips, once dubbed Queen Elizabeth’s “favourite grandson” by a royal insider, has called it quits with his long-term girlfriend Lindsay Wallace, as confirmed by a source to Hello! on April 9.

“Peter and Lindsay made the difficult decision to separate as they were spending less time together with work and family commitments,” the source told the publication. “Peter’s business commitments and work in F1 meant he has been away and travelling non stop.”

According to the article, Phillips, 46, and Wallace, have been dating since 2020, with this year marking their four-year anniversary.

Here’s what we know about the newly single nephew to Britain’s King Charles:
