Meanwhile, straight after his time at university, King Charles' nephew worked for Jaguar as a corporate hospitality manager and then for Williams racing team, where he was sponsorship accounts manager.

Peter's appearance at the race course comes one week after his mother Princess Anne was discharged from the hospital following an incident involving a horse. 

The Princess Royal left the Southmead Hospital in Bristol following a five-day precautionary stay after being injured at her home estate Gatcombe Park.

During her stay, her doting husband, Vice Admiral Tim Laurence, visited the equestrian, bringing her "treats from home" to make her comfortable.
