Feel Good Friday! The Queen's great-grandchildren Isla and Savannah Phillips enjoy ice creams in the sun with their mother Autumn at Gatcombe Horse Trials

  • Princess Anne's grandchildren joined her at Gatcombe horse trials
  • Isla and Savannah, daughters of Peter Phillips were joined by their mother  
  • Autumn Phillips enjoyed an ice cream with her two daughters  

The Queen's great grandchildren were seen making the most of the fine Easter whether today as they joined their grandmother Princess Anne at Gatcombe Horse Trials.

Autumn Phillips, wife to the Queen's grandson Peter Phillips, was seen sunbathing with her daughters Isla, aged three, and Savannah, aged five, during the Good Friday event in Gloucestershire.

And the two girls got stuck into the spirit of the Bank Holiday weekend by tucking into ice creams, while their mother even needed sunglasses against the rare glimpse of sunshine.

Peter's eldest Savannah was seen taking a leaf out of her mother's style book wearing a pair of sweet pink sunglasses to match Autumn's shades. 

All three were not above being practical though, wearing jeans and Wellingtons as they relaxed in the grass.

The trio looked on as Autumn's mother-in-law Princess Anne who lives on the Gatcombe estate presented awards to winners at today's trials.

The 65-year-old looked happy and relaxed in a furry cap and a tweed overcoat as she beamed at the winners, or possibly her grandchildren.

Phillips, who is the Queen's eldest grandchild, is known for keeping a low profile but was seen at today's event.

However, Canadian mother Autumn seemed happy to spend some girly time alone with her daughters today.   

Peter Phillips is the first child and only son of Princess Anne and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips and he is the eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

For the most part does not carry out royal duties - for the last few years he has worked in the sports sponsorship and management fields.

However, the royal has had to come out of the woodwork of late after it emerged that a company run by the Queen’s grandson, Peter Phillips, was being paid to organise the street party in celebration of the Queen's 90th year. 

Concerns have also been raised that representatives of charities and organisations are being charged £150 a head to celebrate the Queen’s life-long patronage.

Although Her Majesty’s charities are being offered first refusal on the tickets and allowed to auction off a proportion of their allocation to raise funds, this has also given rise to fears that the event could turn into a corporate jamboree.

But Mr Phillips, brother to Olympian Zara, insists it will be an event to remember with carnival-style entertainment and appearances by senior members of the Royal Family.
