Isla Phillips and her sister Savannah are the oldest of the late Queen Elizabeth's great-grandchildren. The sisters are set to serve as bridesmaids for their father Peter Phillips' upcoming wedding to Harriet Sperling. Isla Phillips' family line lacks royal titles, as her grandmother Princess Anne decided that her children, Peter and Zara, would not have titles, and they were not automatically entitled to them as titles do not pass through the male line.
Isla Phillips reportedly goes riding with Princess Anne on the Gatcombe Park estate. Royal experts suggest Isla Phillips is emerging as the new hope for the next generation of younger royals, with her generation unscathed by the ongoing scandal involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. According to Daily Mail - Home, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams described Isla Phillips as likely to make her mark on royal life, noting that her generation should be free of the scandals currently affecting the monarchy.
Little attention has so far been paid to Isla Phillips, yet, considering her antecedents, she is likely to make her mark on royal life.
According to Daily Mail - Home, Fitzwilliams also described this as a breath of fresh air as the Royal Family adapts to changing times. Whether Isla Phillips will take on more public royal duties in the future remains unclear, and the extent of public interest or media coverage expected for her after the wedding is not yet known.
Her generation should be free of the scandals that are currently causing problems for the thousand-year-old institution of monarchy.
It should be a breath of fresh air as the Royal Family moves with the times and each generation has something new to give in an environment which is constantly changing but always pressurised.
