Princess Anne's son Peter Phillips makes royal debut with girlfriend
By Lucia Hawley|
Peter Phillips has made his royal relationship debut with his new girlfriend, just one year after divorcing his former wife Autumn.
The Queen's grandson looked loved up as he attended the Epsom Derby for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee alongside girlfriend Lindsay Wallace, a reported old school friend.
Peter and Wallace walked side by side as they attended the event with the royal's mother, Princess Anne, and his sister and brother-in-law Zara and Mike Tindall.

Wallace looked glamourous as she sported a coral dress and fascinator for the momentous occasion.
Peter joined other royals like Prince William and Kate Middleton at the Queen's Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, however Wallace was not in attendance.
The duo first sparked romance rumours in March 2021, when Peter visited Wallace and sparked controversy over whether he had broken lockdown restrictions.
Eight months later, the relationship became more serious when he brought Wallace along to his nephew Lucas' christening.
The pair were also photographed together in a car prior to the royal gathering.

Peter, the eldest child of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, has since introduced Wallace – the daughter of a Canadian oil tycoon – to his grandmother the Queen while at a shooting party at Windsor.
Peter shares two daughters – Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10 – with his ex-wife. The pair finalised their divorce in June 16, 2021, months after they announced their separation.
Last year, Peter made headlines after he was reportedly confronted by police after travelling from Gloucestershire to Scotland to visit Wallace.

It was reported that the royal had travelled 740 kilometres to see her at her home in Scotland in the middle of August, which was when rules were in place about unnecessary travel.
The Sun reported at the time police spoke with both Phillips and Wallace over the visit.
After those conversations took place they "issued advice" but concluded Phillips hadn't breached the rules as he was there on business.
