Long-Distance Affair
In 2003, Peter met Autumn at the Montreal Grand Prix. They started dating at first by long-distance; then Peter proposed after a short time. This seemed like a beautiful fairytale with sacrifices made. Autumn had been born as a Roman Catholic, but to become a Royal, she had to convert to the Church of England — a royal tradition of many years. Autumn made the change, and the two of them were married.

A Royal Surprise
Maybe Peter and Autumn’s relationship’s most shocking thing is that she didn’t even first learn he was a part of the Royal Family! We have to ask how that didn’t come up earlier in the discussion. She just figured out about her boyfriend’s family when she moved to England. It seems to be by accident that she saw Peter at the 21st birthday of Prince William — while watching television with her mother! “What did you get into, you?” Her mother asked, and maybe the same thing she thought.
