Captain Mark becomes a grandfather

I’d like to extend a big Eventing Nation congratulations to Captain Mark Phillips for becoming a grandfather when the wife of Peter Phillips, who is the son of Mark and his first wife Princess Anne, gave birth to a daughter.  Autumn Phillips, a Canadian, had the child on Wednesday.  The baby is 12th in line to the throne.  One of the favorite nicknames for Captain Mark around the EN corporate headquarters is ‘Uncle Mark’ but we may have to rethink that.  Congratulations to the entire Phillips family and go eventing.  [Yahoo!
