Princess Anne still friends with ex daughter-in-law Autumn?

Princess Anne has showcased once more why she is considered one of the most approachable royals by warmly embracing her former daughter-in-law Autumn Phillips over four years after the latter’s divorce from Anne’s son, Peter Phillips.

The 74-year old was spotted animatedly conversing and laughing with Autumn, 46, during a charity equestrian event in Gloucestershire. 

The royal watchers that were able to witness the reunion were overjoyed and praised the duo for the amicable and respectful bond they maintain over the relationship, irrespective of the fact that Peter and Autumn were married for 13 years and divorced in 2021.

Royal circles have long speculated on the unique bond that Anne and Autumn share, given that she has two daughters, Savannah and Isla, with Peter. 

A source told MailOnline, Anne always admired Autumn’s strength and no-nonsense approach to royal life. They’ve kept in touch for the girls’ sake, but it’s clear there’s genuine affection there.”

Renewed curiosity about The Queen’s grandchildren has emerged after learning that Peter Phillips has been rumoured to be dating someone new.

 However, it is the unyielding bond Princess Anne shares with her former daughter-in-law that seems to be garnering the most fascination.

This offers a rare window into understanding royal dynamics that rest upon earnest regard rather than obligation, intertwining kinship and, perhaps, genuine camaraderie beyond the crown.
