Peter and Autumn Phillips separation was a 'conscious uncoupling' rather than a sudden split and they 'won't get a quickie divorce', a source has revealed. A source close to the family told Vanity Fair their break-up came after a long period of discussion and said the royal family feel 'sad but supportive of the situation'. Meanwhile they added that the royal family had been aware things 'hadn't been going well' since the autumn. 'Both families were naturally sad at the announcement, but fully supportive of Peter and Autumn in the joint decision to co-parent their children. Peter and Autumn have requested privacy and compassion for their children while the family continues to adapt to these changes.'
