Does Autumn Phillips still have Canadian citizenship?
Title: Re: Peter & Autumn Philips and family news and general chat.
Post by: Curryong on June 09, 2017, 05:22:31 AM
As far as I know Autumn has retained her Canadian citizenship. She may also, in fact, have dual citizenship as she has lived in Britain for a long time now.

@Curryong-So is that a benefit for having citizenship in two Commonwealth nations that you are permitted retain your citizenship in both?
Title: Re: Peter & Autumn Philips and family news and general chat.
Post by: Curryong on June 09, 2017, 02:03:20 PM
I just think that Autumn still feels Canadian in her heart and so was reluctant to give up citizenship of her native land. However, marrying a UK citizen and living with them in Great Britain is no doddle, at least not for ordinary mortals.

Marrying a UK Resident (http://www.aboutimmigration.co.uk/marrying-uk-resident.html)

I'm not mentioning that there might have been special arrangements made for Autumn as she was to marry a grandson of the Queen, but...  :wink:

I'm sure dual citizenship is a great advantage for everyone who wishes to enter his/her homeland wherever it is, as well as the land of their adoption. I was a recipient of that myself for many years, but this was because until the 1990's the Australian government allowed special treatment to British citizens domiciled in Australia. That no longer applies. (I was married to an Aussie during the time we were regularly travelling between Aus and the U.K. anyway.)

Within Britain very young Aussies, New Zealanders and Canadians were allowed, under a quota system, to go to Britain to live and work for a specified amount of time (about two years, I think it was) especially if they had a UK born parent. However, under EU regulations that gradually got tightened up. Aussies do still go to the UK to live and work, usually in London, but it's not the rite of passage it once was, as the regulations have changed.

Autumn met Peter Phillips in Canada at the 2003 Canadian Grand Prix. He was working at the time for Williams FI team. She was a management consultant, having graduated from McGill university and work as a model and actress while she was a student. (She was in the TV series Sirens.)

She apparently didn't know who he was at first, but they started to date. Peter eventually went back to England and Autumn got a job with a US computer company there. She was living with Peter at Gatcombe Park and in a flat in Kensington when she landed a dream job as an assistant to the broadcaster Michael Parkinson. No sign of visas or having to get back to Canada there, then! The couple got engaged in 2007 and married the next year.

I distinctly remember their wedding, the minor scandal of the couple selling their story and wedding photos to Hello magazine, seeing photos of Kate, Harry and Harry's girlfriend Chelsy dancing to music at the reception, (William was absent, he attended some do in Africa to do with Jecca Craig's family instead, I believe) the story later that Kate met the Queen for the first time at this wedding.

As far as I remember Peter and Autumn have never been particularly horsey people. However, they and their children often turn up to various events involving equestrian sports with the rest of Anne's family. I think Anne will be very pleased to see all her granddaughters as enthusiastic horse riders.

They must have paid him handsomely because why would he do it otherwise?

The one slightly positive thing is him drawing attention to the British culture. Albeit in a slightly embarrassing manner.  Though granted, he's not very known.

I think also he will perhaps do more of these commercials.

Longleat House is the home of the Marquises of Bath. Longleat isn't a manor house which are usually quite small, but one of England's Stately Homes. It's Elizabethan.

Reportedly it is Autumn who wishes to end the marriage and possibly wishes to return to her native Canada.  :(

QuoteThe couple share two daughters Savannah, nine, and Isla, seven, who are firm friends of Prince William and Duchess Kate?s children George and Charlotte. According to the report, Autumn?s announcement has taken Peter by surprise, and there is not thought to be any third party involved in the desire to separate.Autumn comes from Canada, and friends close to the couple are said to be concerned Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?s escape to the Commonwealth country has inspired a desire to do the same. The split is the latest in a string of difficult circumstances to trouble the Queen since the end of last year.

Sad news about the Phillips' marriage split. However, nice of the Sun, who broke the original story, to insinuate that Meghan influenced Autumn to ask for a divorce and 'move back to Canada'. The tabloids just cannot resist dragging the Sussexes into every bit of bad Royal news connected with others!

The reason for this split could be myriad, drifting apart, financial troubles (Peter's business enterprises haven't been going so well) a long standing marital irritation, a thousand things. If Autumn does move back to Canada that will probably mean though that their two girls may be leading a trans Atlantic existence, and perhaps no more Sandringham and/or Balmoral visits every year.

It's another blow for the Queen and PP but the BRF is absolutely littered with marital conflict and divorces so they should be used to it.

The friends of Autumn were ''speculating'', they fear she will have a go to Canada like Harry and Meghan.  IMO it's natural that her friends were worried yesterday, as she is Canadian.

Here's the full statement of Peter and Autumn today

Quote
?They had reached the conclusion that this was the best course of action for their two children and ongoing friendship.
?The decision to divorce and share custody came about after many months of discussions and, although sad, is an amicable one.
?The couple?s first priority will remain the continued well-being and upbringing of their wonderful daughters, Savannah and Isla.
?Both families were naturally sad at the announcement, but fully supportive of Peter and Autumn in the joint decision to co-parent their children.?
?Both Peter and Autumn have remained in Gloucestershire to bring up their two children where they have been settled for a number of years.?
The couple requested ?privacy and compassion? for their children while the family continues to adapt to the changes.

Post by: Curryong on February 11, 2020, 12:43:09 PM
There was no need for the tabloids to quote these unnamed friends in an attempt to drag the Sussexes into it at all. It's clear that neither Meghan nor Harry would have spoken to Autumn about this or influenced her, especially as it's now known that the RF have kept the info about the Phillips' separation under their hats for several months already.

It's like an automatic reaction with the tabs. Anything going awry, or difficult or any bad news like a separation and 'annus horribilis' has to be dragged up with PP's car accident, Andrew's revolting behaviour and of course Harry and Meghan have to be mentioned every time the Queen is 'upset'.

I dare say she was shocked and saddened when she first heard about the separation, which seems to have occurred after the Phillips' Balmoral holiday (another reason for the Sussexes to have stayed away from those sad developments.) However, it is now February 2020 and I dare say she has somewhat got over it. It's not as if divorce is completely unknown in the Queen's family. Far from it.

I figured out yesterday that the garbage about her moving back to Canada was not true, but I felt so bad about this all being thrust on the Queen and other members of the family so suddenly after everything else....now we find out it was old news and probably no surprise. There was even faux news that Peter was caught unawares and is devastated. And, no, there was no need for them to mention the Sussex move.

It may be different now, as interesting (gossip) news since the first grandchild of the Queen is divorcing. Cue the paparazzi's to see if in 1 year's time the 'changes' in the statement, she will stay or go, half and half, her family lives in Montreal.

Im sure they will, as much as most parents.  If Autumn did want to go back to Canada, it might be difficuclt ofr the children at their present age..but possibly later on, when they're older, she might wish to return home.

Yes, the good news is Canada is in the top 3 countries in the best education; all categories.

So whatever the parents would like for them or the children themselves when teenagers and IMO ready to ask what is their opinion.

ETA: the plans of Co Parenting, I wish them the best.  This is so crucial the dad/mom parenting, plus obviously the educational choices.

Peter and Autumn Phillips to be neighbours after divorce, say friends (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2020/02/11/peterand-autumn-phillips-neighbours-divorce-say-friends/)

QuotePeter and Autumn Phillips intend to be neighbours after their divorce, according to friends who yesterday denied their break-up was linked to ?Megxit?.

The Queen found out about her grandson?s separation from his Canadian wife of 12 years last autumn, more than three months before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were stepping down as senior royals to move to North America.

Last night, sources close to Mr and Mrs Phillips insisted Autumn had no intention of returning to her native Montreal, revealing that the couple are still living together at the family home in Gloucestershire and plan to "live nearby" once their divorce is finalised.

?The idea that this is in any way linked to Megxit is laughable,? said one insider. ?Autumn has no plans to go back to Canada. She is very happy in Gloucestershire and wants their daughters Savannah and Isla to be as close to Peter

In my experience children who behave that way are looking for attention from the other child.  But after that happened George was likely to stay away and pay her LESS attention, which then would possibly lead to her doing more naughtiness. If she continued to act out and annoy him he would find her to be an irritating sort of cousin and certainly not his favorite. But if that was just a rare occurrence he would probably not dwell on it.

I hope she wasn't allowed to get away with it, even the once.  So hopefully, she's now grown out of bratty behaviour.  however, its far from certain that she and George are likely to sepnd a lot of time together or be great friends.  Peter was close to William but he is a bit older than himn and he has his business career which with his marital problems is probably taking up a lot of his time.

Perhaps there is no big story for her to tell.  If they were not getting along and were not compatible but there was no drama, and if the claim that they came to a mutual decision and will still live side by side, there may not be anything that she would feel compelled to relate. I hope that is the case - I think we've seen enough drama in that family for a while. But it is only to be expected that the family would support him if there were to be a story.

I tend to believe that this was the case. The couple simply started to drift apart over time though I do understand that his work involved a great deal of traveling. It sounds like the couple have a good plan going forward for their children with one of them maintaining a residence at Gatcombe Park and the other nearby. I've known of divorced couples who chose to keep the children in the family home and that the parents rotated in one week and out the next. The parent who was "off" stayed in a nearby apartment.

Certainly custody is hard enough when you are in the same country or even continent. They seem determined to co-parent and are on good terms.

Autumn moved to the UK back in 2003. She had actually accepted a job there before she even met Peter. She hasn't lived in Canada in 18 years. It would be hard to adjust to moving back to Canada and establishing a life there, even if there were not minor kids to consider.

Very close to Lachine, where my family first settled in 1670s.  Just in time for the Lachine Massacre.   Very French.

I really doubt she will leave England until the girls are grown.  They are English even if half Canadian.  And I doubt she would leave without them

I?m sure Autumn has been back many times with her children. I think her parents continued to live in Pointe Claire didn?t they?
Lachine looks a lovely place. Was that massacre part of the Beaver Wars or am I thinking of something else? The indigenous population apparently rose up several times in a fruitless attempt to drive settlers out. Our Aborigines never tried to burn settlements (there weren?t that many in bush areas anyway) but were active in frontier areas with cattlemen and farmers.

Beaver Wars.  The men of my family were killed but the women and children made it to the fort.  There is a contemporary letter from a nun that tells how the older woman carried two pigs.  She was quite interesting.  She had been born in New France and kidnapped by Iroquois at age 8.  She was rescued a few years later and ended up marrying one of the soldiers that rescued her.   I am sure she wasn?t thrilled to see Iroquois again.


There are photos of the kids in Canada.  There are also photos of the girls in England wearing Canada hoodies etc.

Post by: Curryong on May 09, 2021, 02:53:45 AM
 There seem to have been several accounts from women in Canada and the US who had similar lives, ie kidnapped by various warriors, taken back to their people, lived with them  and were then reunited with their own kin later on. Carrying the two pigs is interesting. Food, barter, sale? It all must have been terrifying. I thought it was another tribe who were prevalent in that area not Iroquois. Oh well, a memory fail, not unusual for me!
Title: Re: Peter & Autumn Philips and family news and general chat.
Post by: TudorQueen on May 09, 2021, 03:14:49 AM
The Beaver wars stemmed not from issues with settlers, but between different indigenous tribes.

The Lachine settlers were allies of the Algonquin tribes. Unfortunately that made them a target for the Iroquois confederacy. The Iroquois were allies of the English and Dutch settlers, and were expanding their territory by taking over lands of other tribes like the Algonquins.


Back to Autumn. I am sure she still loves Canada and the girls have indeed worn some Canadian gear. But there is a big difference between taking a holiday in Canada, and moving there. Autumn was 25, only a year out of university and working as a bar tender while trying to get an 'adult job' when she left Canada. Going back 18 years later, to establish not only a job but a house,friends, even just a basic routine would be a massive adjustment even with her family there. Peter is not the only thing in the UK for her and the girls to consider.

The house in the photo is her mother's. Her parents divorced when she was young and both remarried. I think both still in Montreal area though.

Thanks for the info about the origin of the Beaver Wars. Very interesting, not less so for the settlers caught in the middle!  I just remembered reading about  settlers in the 1690s being massacred in the Beaver Wars several years ago and took it as being one of those frontier incidents common to countries where indigenous tribes were displaced or used by settlers, similar to Australia.

It was a lovely house in the photo. And yes, when you emigrate and marry you become settled. I?ve never had any wish myself to return to England again and leave my children/grandchildren permanently.

We will learn what she does soon, once the divorce is done.  But for now, she pretty much has to stay due to COVID. I feel for the family, it is always so sad to see a marriage that seemed strong break up

While I'm sorry that the pair are divorcing, it appears that they've quietly, discretely and amicably worked through all of the aspects. Good luck to the Phillips family.

The Queen was at that wedding reception, and Kate (who met HM for the first time) who arrived with Harry and Chelsy. Apparently HM was none too happy at the sight of photographers and a reporter at the event, and more or less let it be known among the younger members of her family that it was inappropriate. Hello money (?500,000 according to the Press but who knows) pretty well paid for the reception and honeymoon according to what I read at the time, and left plenty to spare.

Zara appeared in Hello a couple of years before in a series of photos featuring a diamond studded riding whip, for which she was paid.

I agree. It will be sad not to see her anymore at events, which are finally beginning to return to the calendar. She always was smiling and seemed very natural.

Pre-marriage? The only option really would be royal Ascot. And even then just as a guest. She wouldn't be in a carriage before marriage.

Really the only other royal events to speak of that he attends are Christmas and Trooping. Meghan made a splash getting invited to Christmas when only engaged.

Peter doesn?t usually attend royal events. I can?t see him taking a girlfriend to the Trooping for example for a balcony appearance before they become engaged, if they intend to marry. And there are no royal weddings coming up to attend. Maybe, after Covid and if they are engaged, next year?s extended family lunch at BP, if the ongoing renovations don?t disturb the arrangements.

I saw this recently. Peter Phillips will find someone in his social circle. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of remarriage in a few years. He and Autumn are both very young, both will move on quickly.

Peter?s 43. And I would say he?s already found another love. She?s been seeing him for quite some time, and has known Zara for years too. All three were at school together at Gordonstoun.

Lindsay Wallace.

They passed off his visit with her during lockdown as simply needing  a place to stay in Scotland. It could very well though be that because the divorce was not finalized, they wished to silence any talk of him dating for now. To keep any relationship private for as long as posible.

It may also be for her own privacy as Lindsay is said to be only be separated from her own husband. She has two kids as well.

And no hotels/caravan parks, motels were open for business at all? I thought the police didn?t charge Peter for breaking Covid regulations by being up in Scotland because he told them he was north of the border on business. Anyway, it?s likely that Lindsay has been his girlfriend for a long long time, and if everyone is fine with it now then that?s that!

Strange that if he drove all the way up to Scotland from the South of England on an urgent business trip that he didn?t arrange some overnight accommodation for himself then, before he left, or postponed it until he could. But if a dear friend up in the same area where he has this business is willing to offer dinner, a warm and cosy bed and some brekky then the trip will have been been worthwhile I?m sure.

It appears that Peter and Autumn have moved forward in their lives and still seem to maintain a civil relationship as parents to their daughters. Meanwhile Peter now has a new partner that he's known since Gordonstoun, so it seems that his private life is currently happy.

Quote

Peter Phillips is 'happier than ever' and completely loved-up with his girlfriend Lindsay Wallace who is a 'breath of fresh air', sources have claimed. 

Princess Anne's son, 45, and Lindsay, 42, were pictured smiling together at the Coronation concert last month while they watched on from the royal box in the grounds of the Windsor Estate.

They attended with Peter's daughters, Isla Phillips, 11, and Savannah Phillips, 12, who he shares with his ex-wife Autumn.

A friend of the King?s nephew told Hello that Peter has always been 'extremely close' with King Charles and that 'it meant a lot' that he was able to bring Lindsay to the Coronation concert.

The source told the outlet: 'He is in a great place at the moment and could not be happier in either his private or personal life.'
