Peter Philips has arrived at the Platinum Pageant alongside his girlfriend Lindsay Wallace – marking the third outing together over this Jubilee weekend.
Yesterday he made his public debut with Lindsay at two separate events to mark the Queen’s 70-years on the throne, a year after divorcing his wife Autumn.
The 44-year-old, who is the monarch’s grandson, attended the Platinum Jubilee concert yesterday night outside Buckingham Palace with Lindsay, 40, who is a family friend and daughter of an oil tycoon.
They watched acts including Diana Ross, Queen, George Ezra and Elbow at the celebration, which took place on the third day of the festivities.
Peter and Lindsay sat in the royal box alongside his daughters and senior members of the firm including Prince William, The Duchess of Cambridge and the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.

Ms Wallace did not attend the Queen’s Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral on Thursday but her new partner joined royals including the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the event.
Peter’s new love is a family friend and attended the £40,000-a-year school in Gordonstoun, Scotland, a school which was also attended by Prince Charles and Prince Philip.
She went to the school alongside Zara Tindall and is said to ‘cherish’ her friendship with the royal, having attended her wedding in 2011.
It is understood Ms Wallace, an oil tycoon’s daughter, and Mr Phillips became close after a school reunion spending time together following the breakdown of both of their marriages.
Mr Phillips finalised his divorce from wife Autumn in June, 16 months after announcing their separation in February 2020.
Lindsay is understood to be separated but not divorced from her husband.

Peter and Autumn share daughters Savannah, 10, and Isla, nine, and continue to live on Princess Anne’s Gatcombe Park estate, in Gloucestershire.
Mr Phillips made headlines in March last year when he was spotted visiting Ms Wallace’s home in St Cyrus, near Montrose, Aberdeenshire, sparking concerns he had breached lockdown restrictions to make the 460-mile round trip from his Gloucestershire home.
Locals called the police when they saw his car at her home.
Speaking in March last year, a source said the pair have been ‘keeping things under wraps’ and ‘only the inner circle knew about this friendship’.
At the time the royal insisted the trip to Scotland was made as a marketing consultant for company XF Medical, set up last June to provide rapid Covid tests and antibody tests for businesses, although sources said he was ‘besotted’ by Ms Wallace.
Officers ‘issued advice’ but Peter said he was staying there overnight while on business, leading Police Scotland to conclude he was not breaking lockdown rules that only allowed ‘essential travel’ to the country. He had reportedly visited Ms Wallace in August 2020.
Eight months later, he showed he was serious about his new relationship when he brought Ms Wallace as his date to his nephew Lucas’s christening.
The couple were photographed in a car together ahead of the Royal Family gathering.

Elegant in a cream coat and black hat, Ms Wallace was in the front seat by his side as he drove his 4×4 into the grounds at Windsor and looked down at her lap as cameras snapped photos of the royal arrivals.
A spokesman for Mr Phillips confirmed at the time that Ms Wallace, 40, had 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.
In January, the Queen’s grandson Peter Phillips introduced his girlfriend to his grandmother, according to reports.
The father-of-two reportedly introduced his new partner Lindsay to Her Majesty following a shooting party which was held at Windsor.
