Peter Phillips shared an emotional moment with his daughter Savannah during Friday evening’s Vigil of the Princes. The Queen’s four children, King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew, all came together for the sombre affair as they stood guard by their late mother’s coffin which is Lying-in-State at Westminster Hall. All were in military uniform – including Prince Andrew who was stripped of his military titles last year.
As well as Her Majesty’s children, some of her grandchildren and great grandchildren were in attendance – Peter and Savannah Phillips included. Peter shares his 11 year old daughter with ex wife Autumn Kelly, whom he split with last year. He also has another daughter, Isla, with his ex.
During the historic event, the camera panned round to show the Queen’s extended family watching the 15 minute-long vigil, when Savannah tentatively turned to look at her father who appeared to wipe a tear from his eye. She sweetly smiled at him before he bent down to speak to his two daughters. Peter’s sister, Zara Tindall, her husband Mike and their two eldest kids were also there.
The grandchildren’s attendance came as a surprise to most as the likes of Zara and Peter will be part of their own Vigil of the Princes alongside their cousins on Saturday 17 September, after being invited by King Charles to pay their respects.

The Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drama continued into the weekend as it wasn’t clear if the Sussexes would be attending a pre-funeral reception at Buckingham Palace on the eve of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex – who settled in California after stepping down as senior royals in 2020 – reportedly initially received an invitation to the Sunday evening reception, but conflicting reports said they were and weren’t expected to attend. According to the Telegraph, they have now been uninvited because palace officials insisted that the reception hosted by King Charles III and Camilla, the queen consort, is only for working royals, which Harry and Meghan are not.
