The couple were married, on 14 November 1973, at Westminster Abbey, and had two children:
* Peter Mark Andrew Phillips, born 1977
* Zara Phillips, born 1981
The Queen is believed to have offered him a peerage on his wedding day, which he turned down. This may also have been the specific wish of Princess Anne. (As female-line grandchildren of the Sovereign, Princess Anne`s children were never eligible for the style "Royal Highness" or the title "Prince/Princess" under the terms of George V`s letters patent of 1917)
However, rumours of a stormy relationship were rife, and their home life at Gatcombe Park was the subject of much unwanted media attention throughout their marriage.
In August 1985 Phillips fathered a daughter, Felicity, as a result of an extramarital affair with New Zealand art teacher Heather Tonkin. Phillips was confirmed as the father as a result of DNA testing during a paternity suit in 1991.
In 1992, Mark Phillips and the Princess Royal were divorced.
