Peter Phillips has been pictured for the first time since his mother, Princess Anne, was hospitalised with concussion last month.

Phillips, 46, is the eldest child of the Princess Royal and her ex-husband, Captain Mark Phillips.

The father-of-two was photographed arriving ahead of practice three for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire.

Silverstone Circuit is the home of the British Grand Prix, which it first hosted as the 1948 British Grand Prix.

This was Phillips’s first outing since his mother was hospitalised for five months with minor injuries.

In June, Buckingham Palace released the following rare statement: “The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening.

“Her Royal Highness remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery.

“The King has been kept closely informed and joins the whole Royal Family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to The Princess for a speedy recovery.”

According to reports, Phillips and his younger sister Zara Tindall have been keeping a lower profile than usual while caring for Princess Anne on her Gatcombe Park estate.

The siblings, who are both incredibly sporty, have been unusually absent at Wimbledon this week.

Phillips and Zara both live on the Princess Royal’s Gloucestershire estate, and were both present at Gatcombe Park on the night of the accident.

Anne’s husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, frequently visited the princess during her stay at Southmead Hospital.

Providing an update, Sir Timothy said: “She is recovering well, thank you.

“We are both profoundly grateful to the medical team and hospital support staff for their expert care – and to the emergency services who were all so wonderful at the scene.

“We are both deeply touched by all the kind messages we have received from so many people near and far. It means a great deal.”

Zara, 43, was also photographed visiting Princess Anne at the hospital in Bristol, but has not made any public appearances since her mother was discharged.
