Princess Anne’s Son Peter Phillips and Girlfriend Lindsay Wallace Make a Bold Statement at Royal Ascot
In an unexpected turn of events, Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne, and his new girlfriend Lindsay Wallace showcased their blossoming relationship at the prestigious Royal Ascot event.
The couple surprised royal fans as they appeared on the fourth day of the event alongside the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
This public display indicated that their relationship has become increasingly serious.
Breaking away from royal tradition, Peter Phillips, 44, and Lindsay Wallace, 40, joined the carriage procession to the parade ground at the Berkshire Course.
This departure from the norm was particularly notable since carriage rides at Royal Ascot typically feature married royal couples.
For instance, Princess Beatrice's husband, Edoardo Mapellimosi, participated in the procession this year after their wedding in 2020.
While previous partners of the royal family have attended Ascot in the past, such as Jack Brooksbank, who is now married to Princess Eugenie, and Chelsea Davy, Prince Harry's former girlfriend, they have never taken part in the carriage procession.
The fact that Lindsay has been included in this traditional event suggests that the royal family has made an exception for her.
Lindsay made a stunning appearance at the event, wearing a pale pink silk dress and a matching straw hat.
The dress featured slightly frilled cuffs, long sleeves, and a round neckline.
As she arrived at the racecourse in a horse-drawn carriage, she held onto her hat, which was adorned with two small flowers.
Her makeup was simple, with minimal foundation, bronzer, and a n^de lip.
It seems that Lindsay has a penchant for pink, as she has been spotted wearing the color on multiple occasions.
She wore a salmon pink outfit when attending the Kazoo Derby Festival at Epsom racecourse with Peter.
Furthermore, she opted for a brighter shade of pink at the party at the palace event during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Completing her ensemble, Lindsay accessorized with a white clutch and white heels embellished with rhinestones.
Rumors of a romance between Peter and Lindsay first surfaced when he visited her in March 2021, raising questions about potential lockdown breaches.
Eight months later, Peter solidified their relationship by bringing Lindsay as his date to his nephew Lucas' christening.
The couple was photographed together in a car before joining the royal family gathering.
Peter, the eldest child of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, took a significant step by introducing Lindsay, the daughter of an oil tycoon, to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The meeting reportedly went well, with the Queen expressing her delight.
According to a spokesperson for Mr. Phillips, Lindsay accompanied him to the joint christening of Zara and Mike Tindall's son, Lucas, and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's son, August, in Windsor.
Lindsay and Mr. Phillips have known each other since their school days, as they both attended Gordonstone.
It is believed that their bond grew stronger after the end of their respective marriages.
Peter finalized his divorce from Autumn Phillips in June 2021, after announcing their separation 16 months prior.
They share two daughters, Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10, and continue to reside on Princess Anne's Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.
In March 2021, Peter made headlines when he visited Lindsay's home in St. Cyrus, near Montrose, Aberdeenshire, leading to concerns of potential lockdown breaches.
While it was stated that the trip was made in his capacity as a marketing consultant for XF Medical, a company he co-founded to provide Covid tests, sources suggest that he was smitten with Lindsay.
Lindsay, who also went through a divorce, attended Prince Charles' wedding to rugby star Mike Tindall in 2011.
The appearance of Peter Phillips and Lindsay Wallace at Royal Ascot has certainly captured the attention of royal enthusiasts.
Their inclusion in the carriage procession signifies a significant step in their relationship, highlighting its growing seriousness.
As they continue to attend royal events together, it seems that Lindsay has seamlessly integrated into Peter's life and the royal family.
