Cheltenham has returned, drawing royalty and prominent figures to the English town for a weekend filled with racing excitement. Among the attendees at the annual event were Princess Anne and her son Peter Phillips.
Notably, Peter’s former wife, Autumn Phillips, was also present, accompanied by her partner, Donal Mulryan. The couple was captured in photographs at the racecourse, displaying affection as they smiled and posed together.
Both Autumn and Donal dressed warmly for the occasion. Donal wore a large grey overcoat paired with trousers, while Autumn looked radiant in a navy coat and trousers. She completed her ensemble with black shoes and a green hat.
Donal Mulryan, recognized as the founder of the UK development and construction company Rockwell, has had details of his career shared on the company’s website.
It reads: “With over 30 years of experience, Donal has delivered more than 6 million sq ft of UK hotel, residential and commercial property. Throughout his career he has successfully delivered award-winning, iconic buildings in London, Manchester, Leeds and Dublin.
“Donal is a Patron of the Patchwork Foundation, which seeks to engage young people from disadvantaged and minority communities in politics and civil society.”
Autumn and Donal publicly appeared as a couple for the first time at the Cirencester horse trials in March 2022, where they were seen alongside Autumn’s former sister-in-law, Zara Tindall, and her family.
In February 2020, Peter and Autumn confirmed their separation in 2019, and their divorce was finalized in June 2021.
A statement released on behalf of the couple read: “Mr Peter Phillips and Mrs Autumn Phillips are pleased to be able to report that the financial aspects of their divorce have been resolved through agreement, the terms of which have been approved and ordered by the High Court today.
“Whilst this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the wellbeing and upbringing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first and foremost.”
The couple exchanged vows at St George’s Chapel in Windsor on May 17, 2008, and their first child, Savannah, was born on December 29, 2010, at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. Two years later, their second daughter, Isla, was born.
Autumn is the only one who has found love again, as Peter is now in a relationship with family friend Lindsay Steven. Lindsay, a friend of Zara’s, attended both her wedding and Zara’s son’s Christening in 2021.
