London, Jan 27: Peter Phillips, the British
queen's eldest grandson, will soon get married to his Canadian
girlfriend Autumn Kelly at a village church near the royal
family's Balmoral Estate in Scotland.
Quoting unnamed sources, the 'Daily Mail' said
that Phillips has decided to wed Kelly at Crathie Kirk -- the
church "where his mother Princess Anne married for the second
time 16 years ago after her divorce from his father, Mark".
However, Phillips may have to give up his place in the
line of succession, as his to-be wife is a Roman Catholic. The
1701 act of settlement bars British monarchs and their heirs
from becoming or marrying Catholics.
The 30-year-old son of the princess royal and Kelly
got engaged last year.
Phillips, who does not hold any royal title or style
and currently tenth in line to the British throne, works for
the Royal Bank of Scotland while his sweetheart Kelly is a
management consultant.
The palace is yet to officially confirm their wedding
dates and it has so far refused to comment on the matter.
"Peter Phillips is a private individual and it is not
something we wish to comment on," an unnamed spokesman was
quoted by the British newspaper as saying.
