Royal fans were delighted to see several familiar faces as the Phillips and Tindall families stepped out together at the Cheltenham Races on New Year’s Day. The group marked the start of 2026 with a festive day at the famous racecourse on January 1, turning the occasion into a relaxed family celebration rather than a formal royal engagement.

Zara Tindall attended alongside her husband Mike, while her brother Peter Phillips brought his daughters Savannah and Isla. The outing also included Zara and Mike’s three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas, making it a rare moment where the cousins were seen enjoying time together in public.

Photos from the day quickly made their way onto social media, showing the group chatting, laughing and watching the races. One particularly sweet image captured a quiet moment between Peter and his youngest daughter Isla, which immediately caught the attention of royal watchers.
