Peter Phillips and his girlfriend, Harriet Sperling, showed their support for Peter's sister, Zara Tindall, as she competed at the Burghley Horse Trials in Lincolnshire on Saturday.
The businessman, 46, chatted with his brother-in-law and former rugby star, Mike Tindall, on the sidelines, and there was a sweet moment between Peter and his little nephew, Lucas, three, captured on camera.
Peter was seen giving Lucas a piggy-back as Harriet looked on at the pair, with an onlooker telling HELLO! that the NHS nurse, who began dating Peter earlier this year, interacted comfortably with the wider family.
