Savannah Phillips
Savannah Phillips is the eldest daughter of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly.[1][2] Phillips is the son of Anne Windsor, HRH Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth II's daughter. This puts Savannah in the line of succession to the British throne.[3] As of April 4, 2020[update] she is the 16th in line, and her younger sister Isla is 17th. She is the Queen's oldest great-grandchild.[4][5]
There have been multiple instances when Savannah showed a mischievous streak the press described as charming.[5] W magazine compared her to a young Princess Margaret.
Press cameras captured Savannah and her cousin, Prince William, entertaining one another when the Royal Family gathered for the 2018 Trooping of the Colours.[5][6] Cameras captured the pair making faces and engaging in other playful antics with older members of their family trying to remind them to appear solemn. After the 2019 Trooping of the Colours Cosmopolitan magazine speculated that the seating arrangement were particularly rearranged to put the pair at the extreme ends of the balcony specifically so they would not excite one another.
When Savannah was part of a party of the youngest royals seated around Princess Eugenie, in her wedding gown, official photos captured her playfully sneaking a foot on the Princess's gown's elaborate train.
