Peter Phillips44, and partner Lindsay Wallace are pictured arriving at Royal Ascot today after the royals broke tradition yesterday to bring Ms Wallace with them to the royal procession.
Unlike Friday, when the couple faced rising temperatures and an easing of Ascot’s coveted dress code, today the couple will have to avoid the rain – and the temperature has dropped by 10C.
Today is the last day of racing at Royal Ascot and the couple are expected to appear again at the Royal Enclosure this afternoon.

Peter Phillips sent another strong signal that his relationship with his new girlfriend Lindsay Wallace was getting serious yesterday, as the couple raised a high profile for Royal Ascot
Other high profile royals were also in attendance yesterday – and Peter and William had an especially good rapport
Yesterday the couple broke with royal tradition as Princess Anne’s son brought his girlfriend, mother of two, to a carriage procession at Parade Ground in Berkshire.
The royal procession traditionally involves only the royal family and their estranged husband, and it is unprecedented to bring a partner before the wedding.
Ms Wallace, who is an old school friend of Mr Phillips from Gordonstone School in Scotland, made her public debut at the Epsom Derby during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Ms Wallace, who is also estranged from her husband, was at Gordonstone the same year as Zara, which was also attended by Prince Charles.
She was among the guests at the royal’s 2011 wedding with rugby star Mike Tindall.
The breaking of tradition indicates their relationship is about to get serious – but even the young royals Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie rode alone in the procession until the wedding.
Rumors of their romance first surfaced in March 2021 – which raised questions about whether they broke lockdown rules.
This was photographed after visiting Ms Wallace’s home in St Cyrus, Aberdeenshire – a 460-mile round trip from her Gloucestershire home.
The royal family said the trip to Scotland was made as a marketing consultant for the company XF Medical, which was set up last June to provide rapid COVID and antibody tests to businesses, although sources Said he was ‘besieged’ by Ms Wallace.
In January of this year she invited him as a plus-one for the christening of her nephew Lucas.
Prince William and wife Kate Middleton also attended the race and took several glances at them – and they seemed friendly and familiar with Ms Wallace, who appeared a little nervous at times
While Ms Wallace’s outfit would have been suited to the hottest day of the year so far, the royals’ full morning suit with a top hat would have been a struggle.
Lindsey Wallace wore a pale pink dress with statement sleeves and a matching fascinator, and sported a clutch purse
Ms Wallace looked fabulous in her maxi dress and shining shoes – but the wind provided a challenge for many racegoers
The couple were photographed sharing a sweet moment in which Ms Wallace struggled to turn her attraction on its head, and they laughed about it together
Mr. Phillips appeared confidant at the race yesterday and looked forward to helping Ms. Wallace on the day of tradition and ceremony
Following Ms Wallace’s public debut at Epsom Racecourse during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the couple have been taking great care of each other in public.
Lucas is the great-grandson of the Queen and the daughter of Philip’s sister Zara and Mike Tindall.
The couple was photographed together in a car before the royal family gathering.
The eldest of two children of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, Peter then took the very important step of introducing Ms Wallace, the daughter of an oil tycoon, to her grandmother, the Queen, whom she is said to have been ‘delighted’.
Ms Wallace was introduced to Her Majesty at a shooting party in Windsor and a source described the encounter as “hot”.
Mr Phillips was flawless at the race yesterday – pictured laughing and chatting during his carriage ride with the Duke of Bedford along with other members of the Royal Family

A spokesman for Mr Phillips confirmed at the time that Ms Wallace, 40, was with Zara and Mike Tindall’s son, Lucas, and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s son, August, at their joint christening in Windsor yesterday.
It is understood that both Ms. Wallace and Mr. Phillips have become closer after spending time together after the breakup of the marriage.
Mr Phillips finalized his divorce from wife Autumn in June 2021, 16 months after announcing his separation.
Autumn Kelly first met Prince in his hometown of Phillips, Quebec, Canada.
The couple share daughters Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10, and continue to live at Princess Anne’s Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.
