Peter Phillips is preparing to tie the knot with his fiancée, NHS nurse Harriet Sperling, on Saturday, June 6. Despite this, Zara Tindall has shown there’s no animosity between her and Peter’s former spouse, Autumn Phillips.
Celebrating her 45th birthday, the King’s niece enjoyed a stylish day at the Belfry hotel’s golf course in the West Midlands.
Princess Anne’s daughter was accompanied by her husband, Mike Tindall, at the ISPS Handa Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Classic, an annual charity event hosted by the ex-rugby star.
Photographs from the occasion display Zara warmly embracing Autumn, alongside their close family friend, Dolly Maude.
Since their divorce was finalized in June 2021, both Autumn and Peter have found happiness in new relationships. Autumn is now with property mogul Donal Mulryan, while Peter is looking forward to his upcoming marriage to Harriet.
The anticipated guest list for Peter and Harriet’s wedding reportedly includes King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence, along with other members of the Royal Family.
Zara’s birthday went far from unnoticed at today’s event, with her, Autumn and Dolly riding in style in a golf buggy decorated with balloons, party streamers and a cartoon face.

The ISPS Handa Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Classic tournament, the 13th golf charity event hosted by Mike, raises money for the Matt Hampson Foundation and the Cure Parkinson’s charity.

It comes after Zara was at her glamorous best as she supported the Prince and Princess of Wales at their first royal garden party of the season last week.
Prince William and Kate stepped out at the event in the gardens of Buckingham Palace on behalf of King Charles.
They were accompanied by Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara, who completely transformed her makeup-free look from the day prior’s Badminton Horse Trials and arrived wearing a stunning blue cutwork dress.
One day after she donned a sporty ensemble for the equestrian event, Zara proved she is just as comfortable in frocks as she flashed a smile while posing with her cousin Prince William and Kate.
For the occasion, Zara picked a stunning floral dress from the Australian brand Leo Lin that retails for £475 (AUD 895).
It is believed that Zara’s piece was custom-created since it features delicate puff sleeves while the original dress is sleeveless.
She finished her elegant look with a statement hat and off-white clutch, as a smiling Zara was seen walking alongside the Duke of Edinburgh.
They were also joined by the Duchess of Edinburgh, who also picked a blue ensemble for today’s garden party in honour of workers from across the frontline sectors, including emergency services, volunteers and charity workers.

Their Royal Highnesses met guests from a number of both their patronages, military affiliations and passion projects, including William’s Homewards campaign to end homelessness and tenants across Duchy of Cornwall sites.
The party began with the national anthem, before members of the Royal Family took to the lawns to greet guests.
Typically more than 30,000 people are invited to the events each year.
It’s estimated that in total, guests consume 27,000 cups of tea, 20,000 sandwiches and 20,000 slices of cake at each party.
