Royal Ascot: 'Queen's favourite grandson' Peter Phillips matched with uncle Prince Charles at first day of races

The eldest and 'favourite' grandchild of the Queen, Peter Phillips took centre stage earlier this week alongside his uncle and aunt when he arrived at Royal Ascot. Peter, who is the eldest child of Princess Anne and older brother of Zara Tindall, arrived at the event, which is a favourite with members of the Royal Family, in the first carriage procession.

Sharing the first carriage with the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, Peter dressed smartly in a dark grey suit and top hat as he matched with his uncle. Peter's mother, Princess Anne was also part of the procession, but arrived in the third carriage, accompanied by Lord de Mauley, the Queen's Master of the Horse, William Nunneley, and Caroline Nunneley, one of Anne's Ladies-in-Waiting

Four of Her Majesty's cousins rode into the event in the second carriage - the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. The fourth and final carriage was occupied by the Earl and Countess of Hopetoun, Tom Hopper and the goddaughter of Princess Diana, Lady Alexandra Hopper.
