She is now married to Sir Timothy Lawrence.<\/p>\n<p> In 1991, it was also confirmed that Captain Phillips had fathered a daughter, Felicity Tonkin, in August 1985 in New Zealand with art teacher Heather Tonkin, while he was still married to Anne. <\/p>\n<p> Felicity Tonkin is Zara and Peter&#039;s half-sister (Simon Runting\/Shutterstock).<\/p>\n<h2> Trying not to attract unnecessary attention to myself<\/h2>\n<p> Although 40-year-old Felicity was born just four years after Zara, it is believed they did not keep in touch.<\/p>\n<p> She did not attend Zara and Mike Tindall&#039;s wedding in 2011, choosing to stay home in New Zealand, and she was also not seen at Peter and Autumn Phillips&#039; first wedding in 2008. <\/p>\n<p> Peter and Harriet will marry in the Cotswolds on Saturday (Getty Images).<\/p>\n<p> Her grandmother, Dr. Shirley Tonkin, said <em>Daily Mail<\/em> during Zara and Mike&#039;s wedding, that Felicity will not be present and will not even watch the ceremony on TV.<\/p>\n<p> She said: &quot;Zara never contacted her - no one contacted her.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> She added: &quot;She&#039;s very happy living her life, so I don&#039;t think they&#039;ll be watching - they didn&#039;t even watch William and Kate&#039;s wedding.&quot;. <\/p>\n<p> Felicity is the daughter of Heather Tonkin (pictured) and Captain Mark Phillips (Getty Images).<\/p>\n<p> Like Zara, Felicity also loves horses and currently works as an equine veterinarian. She is married to polo player Tristan Wade.<\/p>\n<p> As reported by <em>The Telegraph<\/em> , Captain Mark provided her with financial support in raising her daughter, but, according to available information, does not maintain contact with her.<\/p>\n<p> This means Felicity is unlikely to attend the royal wedding on Saturday.<\/p>\n<h2> Wedding guest list<\/h2>\n<p> However, it&#039;s likely that Peter and Zara&#039;s other half-sister, Stephanie Phillips, will be on the guest list.<\/p>\n<p> Stephanie is Captain Mark&#039;s daughter from his second marriage to Sandy Pflueger, to whom he was married from 1997 to 2012. <\/p>\n<p> Stephanie Phillips is Zara and Peter&#039;s second half-sister (Getty Images).<\/p>\n<p> Stephanie was the petal-thrower at Zara and Mike Tindall&#039;s wedding in 2011 and Peter and Autumn Phillips&#039; wedding in 2008. She called Peter &quot;the best big brother ever&quot; on Instagram and grew up nearby at Aston Farm on the Gatcombe estate.<\/p>\n<p> Other guests expected on Saturday include the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are also believed to be invited.<\/p>\n<p> However, Prince Harry, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson were not invited, the publication exclusively reported <strong>HELLO!<\/strong> last month.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many members of the extended royal family are expected to attend Peter Phillips and Harriet Spurling&#039;s royal wedding, but one relative is likely to be absent...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-selebriti","hvn-theme-has-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9763"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":153550,"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9763\/revisions\/153550"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imgist.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
