Autumn is the wife of Peter Phillips who is the eldest grandson of Queen Elizabeth II.

On leaving college started work as a management consultant.

Autumn met Peter Phillips at the Montreal Canadian Grand Prix in 2003 while he was working as sponsorship manager for the Williams Formula 1 motor racing team. Soon afterwards they started dating, but for the first 6 weeks she had no idea that he was a member of the Royal Family until she saw him on a TV programme about Prince William. She moved to England, and they share a flat in London and a cottage on the Gatscombe estate in Gloucester owned by Princess Anne. Autumn worked for an American computer company and as a personal assistant to Sir Michael Parkinson.

She attended the Queen’s 80th birthday celebration in 2006, and has renounced her Catholic faith so Peter retains his position in the line of succession to the British throne. They were married at St Georges Chapel, Windsor, on 17 May 2008 with 300 guests, including the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. In July 2010 it was a announced that she and Peter are expecting a baby. The child would be the first great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II.
