Peter Phillips and his ex-wife Autumn Kelly may have split in 2019 following 12 years of marriage, but she continues to have a close bond with her former in-laws.
Autumn was pictured celebrating with her ex-sister-in-law, Zara Tindall, and her rugby star husband at the Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Gala Night on 15 May, which aimed to raise funds for Cure Parkinson’s and the Matt Hampson Foundation.
New photos shared by Natalie Pinkham on Instagram show Autumn smiling as she cosied up to Zara in an effortless boho look. As identified by Royal Fashion Police, the Canadian businesswoman wore a midaxi dress from Bash Paris in a jazzy blue and purple paisley print.
Priced at £400, the 'Pareta' dress featured a V-neck, a flattering gathered waist, ruffled sleeves and a buttoned front.
Birthday girl Zara, who turned 45 on Friday, enjoyed the glamorous celebrations in a Rebecca Vallance navy blue mini dress featuring a diamante trim on the neckline.
A pop of silver in the form of her pointed-toe stilettos and matching earrings completed her evening attire.
Captioning the photo on his Instagram account, Mike penned: "An incredible day celebrating two wonderful causes. And who could forget some Birthday celebrations too! @cureparkinsons @hambofoundation."
Family bond

After witnessing the reunion, royal photographer James Whatling told HELLO! about what their relationship is really like.
"It was just nice and relaxed. Zara had a group of pals and grooms with her. Autumn was there, which was nice to see. She's obviously still part of the family and was chatting to Anne and everyone else.
"She's certainly not been ostracised in any way, and it was a nice little support team for Zara. They were all following her around to each section – dressage, showjumping etc," he said.
Royal divorce

A spokesperson for Peter Phillips and Autumn Phillips released a statement that read: "After informing HM The Queen and members of both families last year, Peter and Autumn jointly agreed to separate. They had reached the conclusion that this was the best course of action for their two children and their ongoing friendship.
"The decision to divorce and share custody came about after many months of discussions and although sad, is an amicable one. The couple's first priority will remain the continued well-being and upbringing of their wonderful daughters, Savannah (9) and Isla (7).
"Both families were naturally sad at the announcement, but fully supportive of Peter and Autumn in the joint decision to co-parent their children. Both Peter and Autumn will remain in Gloucestershire to bring up their two children, where they have been settled for a number of years.
"Peter & Autumn have requested privacy and compassion for their children while the family continues to adapt to these changes."
They finalised their divorce in 2021, insisting that "they continue to put the well-being and upbringing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first and foremost."
Autumn reportedly remained living in Gloucestershire so that she and Peter could co-parent their daughters.
