The Queen’s eldest great-grandchild Savannah Phillips turns 14 today and is nearly as tall as her aunt Zara Tindall

She was known for her cheeky antics around her royal relatives as a young girl.

But the days of mischief are well and truly over for Savannah Phillips, as she turns 14 today.

The late Queen Elizabeth’s eldest great-grandchild could even soon be taller than her aunt, Zara Tindall. 

Earlier this year, Savannah supported Zara alongside her mother Autumn Kelly and younger sister Isla at Blenheim Horse Trials.

She appeared to be nearly as tall as Zara, the younger sister of Savannah’s father, Peter Phillips, who is 5ft 5.

Zara was seen smiling and embracing her niece, after competing in the horse trials.

Born on December 29, 2010, to Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly, Savannah is the eldest grandchild of Princess Anne.

She was born 12th in line to the throne at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and weighed 8lb 8oz.

A statement from Buckingham Palace at the time said: ‘The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal, Captain Mark Phillips and Autumn’s family have been informed and are delighted with the news.’

When she was born, Savannah was the only royal in the line of succession with dual citizenship.

Her father, Peter, married Canadian-born Autumn in 2008 at Windsor Castle after meeting five years earlier at the Montreal Grand Prix. 

Autumn was originally Roman Catholic before marrying Peter but renounced her faith so he would not have to give up his claim to the throne. 

The couple separated in 2020, and at the time described their split as ‘sad’ but ‘amicable’.

The pair said at the time that they would share custody of their two daughters and that the decision was ‘the best course of action for their two children and ongoing friendship’.

Their divorce was finalised in 2021 and a statement released at the time said: ‘Whilst this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the wellbeing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first and foremost.

‘Both Peter and Autumn are pleased to have resolved matters amicably with the children firmly at the forefront of those thoughts and decisions.

‘Peter and Autumn have requested privacy and consideration for their children as the family adapts to a new chapter in their lives.’

They now co-parent their two children together. 

Like Peter, Savannah and her sister were not given a royal title.

She is occasionally seen at royal events, including Princess Kate’s Christmas carol concert last December. 

Savannah attended with Peter, Isla and her aunt Zara.

She appeared calm and confident as the group smiled at the cameras on entering Westminster Abbey.

Savannah wore a dress, black ballet pumps and a dark coat with gold buttons. 

Back in September 2022, Savannah attended the Queen’s funeral alongside her sister and father.

As the Queen’s coffin arrived at St George’s Chapel for the Committal service, Zara and her husband, Mike, could be seen walking into church hand-in-hand with their eldest daughter Mia, alongside their nieces Savannah and Isla.

Back in March 2022, Savannah and her sister helped to lighten the mood at Prince Philip’s memorial service at Westminster Abbey.

The pair seemed in high spirits and were seen giggling with their father in a sweet moment caught on camera. 

Isla made silly hand gestures to Peter while Savannah chatted to her cousin Mia.

The youngsters all sang along to hymns throughout the service whilst throwing the odd smirk in each other’s direction.

It wasn’t the first time Savannah has been involved in light-hearted antics.

Back in 2018, she stole the show when she placed a hand over Prince George’s mouth on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the Trooping The Colour flypast. 

Then, the next day she gave her cousin a playful push down a grassy bank at the Beaufort Polo Club.

The incident seemed to prompt Autumn to give her daughter a stern talking to.

Savannah was also a flower girl at Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank in 2018.

She kept Prince George entertained as they waited to walk down the aisle with the bride. 

It looked as if the youngster may have been imitating the trumpet fanfare to announce the arrival of the Queen, as George looked on in fits of giggles.
