A Day at the Races
Princess Anne’s five grandchildren kicked off the New Year with a trip to the Cheltenham New Year’s Day races in Gloucestershire. Among the young royals, one particularly caught the public’s attention.
Lucas Tindall’s Playful Antics
As the family enjoyed the races, photos captured the children and teenagers in the Royal Box at Cheltenham Racecourse’s Princess Royal Stand. The images showed playful moments between the cousins, but it was Lucas Tindall’s antics that reminded everyone of another little prince.
The four-year-old son of Zara and Mike Tindall joined his siblings, Mia, 11, and Lena, 7, and his older cousins Savannah, 15, and Isla, 13, who are the children of Peter and Autumn Phillips, in welcoming 2026 as a family.
Lucas’ Adventurous Spirit
Lucas was determined to make the day more of an adventure. He swung from the balcony’s railings and played around behind the glass wall, resembling funny moments seen from his second cousin, Prince Louis.
Dressed in a dark green shirt, black trousers, and brown suede boots, the little royal stuck out his tongue and showed off his personality. He even drew the attention of his mother, Zara, who leaned down to have a word with him as he dangled from a metal bar on the balcony.
Prince Louis: A Royal Favorite
The seven-year-old son of the Prince and Princess of Wales is favored by fans for his entertaining faces and reactions during royal engagements and other big state events. His cheeky, silly antics have made him one of the most beloved members of the royal family.
From trying on his mum’s massive sunglasses as a toddler to screaming and covering his ears as planes flew overhead during the Trooping of the Colours, Prince Louis has provided many funny moments.
Expert Insight
Parenting expert Jo Frost, also known as ‘Supernanny,’ shared an insight about the prince’s unique personality with HELLO!: “Prince Louis is a child I believe who is a highly sensitive person, he is elevated by high energy experiences and can sometimes get excited beyond the point that his behaviour may be unpredictable.”
Royal Gathering at Cheltenham
While Prince Louis was absent from the day at the races, Lucas was joined by a host of other royals, including his uncle Peter Phillips and his soon-to-be wife, Harriet Sperling. The couple was joined by Peter’s two daughters, Savannah and Isla, and Harriet’s teenage daughter, Georgina, for the exciting day out.
Royal photographer James Whatling previously commented on their relationship: “You can’t watch this couple for too long without noticing how close they are, they’re so tactile and they’re clearly so in love.”
