Should include arms (with forget-me-nots!) -- is there a public-domain picture or is anyone willing to make one? -- Daniel C. Boyer 21:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I propose merging Felicity Tonkin to this article. She is only notable because of the impact of her conception and birth on her father, her father's first wife (the Princess Royal) and the Royal Family. She is only a subset of any other given article. See also Talk:Felicity Tonkin#Notability and discuss here. Charles 14:27, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
How can one be retired from military service after only 9 years, except for being retired for disability? Since he was an active equestrian after he left military service, it would seem to rule out disability? Mustered out, or honourably discharged, seem more appropriate. 99.20.118.250 ( talk) 04:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Captain is a rank, not an honour. It is the position he formerly held in his job. The Victoria Cross would be a military honour. Captain isn't an honour any more than a position in any other job would be. If he had been assistant manager at a company we wouldn't list that as an honour, and this is the same. 89.100.207.51 ( talk) 20:40, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
It says in the "Issue" box under the birth column for Felicity Tonkin "DNA testing 1991 confirmation". Earlier in the article it gives her birth as August 1985, and also that Phillips was confirmed as the father after DNA testing DONE in 1991. As is, a reasonable person would interpert it to mean that a DNA test done in 1991 needs to be confirmed, which surely is not the case. 74.69.8.195 ( talk) 14:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Changed the first paragraph - from "showjumping designer" to "eventing course designer" - there was no reference given for the former so I'm assuming the latter wouldn't need it either, if it does then http://www.burghley-horse.co.uk/3DayEvent/Cross_Country.html has him listed as the Burghley course designer for 2005-13 and http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/rio-cross-country-designer-welcomed-riders/ implies he was short listed for the Rio 2016 Olympic course. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.77.198 ( talk) 17:42, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
@ Martinevans123: Actually an IP user, who is blocked because of vandalism, added the names of these books to the articles of Mark, Zara and Anne in November 2010. It seems that those books do not contain any information about Zara's birth out of wedlock and the sentence was also removed from Zara and Anne's articles. Keivan.f Talk 18:30, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
He continued to style himself Captain Mark Phillips, as captains are customarily allowed to use this honorific rank in civilian life.

The "Personal life" section in the body of the article lists four children: Peter, Zara, Felicity Tonkin, and Stephanie. But the Infobox only lists the first two of these. I thought I should check here before changing it: is there some reason for the discrepancy? Gronk Oz ( talk) 01:00, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. Clear consensus against moving Mark Phillips, who was the husband of a British royal. No consensus for or against politician moves. ( non-admin closure) Natg 19 ( talk) 00:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
– There are nine men listed upon the Mark Phillips (disambiguation) page, one of whom — Mark Phillips (Guyanese politician) — is the prime minister of Guyana. Thus, it would seem that the equestrian may not have greater renown than the combined prominence of the remaining eight men. Since the prime minister is disambiguated via his national origin, the English and the Welsh political figures should be likewise. Depending upon consensus, I would also support the alternative option, per WP:SMALLDIFFERENCES, of leaving the Welsh politician, Marc Phillips, who is the sole "Marc Phillips", unchanged. Also, since the English politician, Mark Philips (politician), is the sole "Mark Philips", his entry can be moved to simply " Mark Philips", which currently redirects to Mark Phillips (disambiguation). Finally, the prime minister, Mark Phillips (Guyanese politician), who is the sole politician named "Mark Phillips", can be moved to Mark Phillips (politician) or Mark Phillips (prime minister), both of which are currently redlinks. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:49, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
