Peter Phillips enjoyed some quality time with his two daughters at the Gatcombe Festival of Eventing today. 

Princess Anne’s son, 41, appeared in excellent spirits as he played with daughters Savannah, eight, and Isla, seven, at the event this afternoon. 

The father-of-two was seen strolling hand-in-hand with the girls through the country fare, which was held in the grounds of Gatcombe Park, Princess Anne’s Gloucestershire home.

At one point he risked staining his jeans to kneel down on the ground, allowing his daughters to take turns climbing on his back. Pictured, Savannah grabbing onto her father's shoulders

The little girls put on an adorable display in matching denim dungarees and t-shirts, both wearing their hair in a half ponytail for the occasion. 

Peter, who tends to keep a low profile, attended the event with his glamorous wife Autumn, also 41.

Autumn put on a relaxed display in a white t-shirt, trainers and jeans, accessorising with aviator sunglasses and a cap. 

Last year Canadian-born Autumn Phillips marked her ten-year wedding anniversary with the 15th-in-line to the throne. 

Later on Savannah was seen giving little sister Isla a piggy back as they made the most of the warm weather.

The former PA is a graduate of McGill University and was born in Montreal, and shares two children with Peter, who is Princess Anne’s eldest child.

Autumn and Peter met during the 2003 Montreal Grand Prix, where they were both working, although she did not realise he was Queen’s grandson at the time.

After dating for a few years, Peter popped the question with her father’s permission.

Today’s Gloucestershire horse trials will see riders competing in the three equestrian disciplines (dressage, show jumping and cross country) combined and competed by horse and rider as a combination. 

Peter’s sister Zara, 38, is an equestrian and Olympian, and won the Eventing World Championship in Aachen in 2006.
