Royal Ascot 2022: Peter Phillips and Lindsay Wallace Make Bold Statement

Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne, and his new girlfriend Lindsay Wallace made a striking appearance at the Royal Ascot 2022, signaling the seriousness of their relationship.

The couple surprised royal enthusiasts as they joined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the fourth day of the prestigious event.

In a departure from tradition, Peter Phillips, 44, and the 40-year-old mother of two, exuded elegance as they participated in the carriage procession at the Berkshire Course, following the arrival of Prince William and Catherine in the first carriage.

Traditionally, only married royal couples partake in the carriage rides at Royal Ascot.

Notably, Princess Beatrice's husband, Edoardo Mapellimosi, was included in the procession for the first time this year after their marriage in 2020.

While previous partners of royal family members have attended Ascot, such as Princess Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank and Prince Harry's former girlfriend Chelsea Davy, they have not typically joined the carriage procession.

The presence of Lindsay Wallace alongside Peter Phillips at royal events following his separation from ex-wife Autumn Phillips in 2021 has sparked intrigue.

Lindsay, radiant in a pale pink silk dress and matching straw hat, captured attention as she arrived at the racecourse.

Her attire featured delicate frilled cuffs, a round neckline, and subtle makeup emphasizing her natural beauty.

Lindsay's fondness for pink was evident, having donned various shades of the color on different occasions, including the recent Kazoo Derby Festival Epsom racecourse and the palace event during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Adding a touch of sophistication to her ensemble, Lindsay accessorized with a white clutch and dazzling white heels adorned with rhinestones.

Speculation about a romance between Peter and Lindsay surfaced when he visited her in March 2021, raising questions about adherence to lockdown restrictions.

Eight months later, Peter publicly affirmed their relationship by escorting Lindsay to his nephew Lucas' christening, where they were seen together ahead of the family gathering.

The significant step of introducing Lindsay to Queen Elizabeth II at a shooting party in Windsor demonstrated Peter's commitment to the relationship.

Described as a warm encounter by a source, the meeting was a pivotal moment in their evolving bond.

Lindsay, a mother of two and the daughter of an oil tycoon, shared a connection with Peter and his sister Zara Tindall from their school days.

Their growing closeness post-divorce signaled a new chapter for both individuals.

Following his divorce from Autumn in June 2021, Peter, along with his daughters Savannah and Isla, continues to reside at Princess Anne's Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.

His visit to Lindsay's home in St Cyprus, near Montrose, Aberdeenshire, in March 2021 raised eyebrows, with concerns about potential lockdown breaches.

Despite assertions that the trip was work-related for a Covid testing company, sources suggested Peter's affection for Lindsay played a role.

Lindsay, a fellow Gordonstoun alumna like Prince Charles, attended the royal wedding of Mike Tindall and Zara in 2011.

Having also gone through a divorce, Lindsay's shared experiences with Peter fostered a deeper connection between them.

As their relationship blossoms, Peter and Lindsay navigate the complexities of blending their personal histories while embracing a future together.
