So that’s whyAutumn’s got a spring in her step

-

SHE swapped royalty for riches but Autumn Phillips has, until now, kept her romance with a wealthy Irish property tycoon out of the spotlight. Our exclusive pictures are the first to show the former wife of Peter Phillips, the Queen’s eldest grandchild, with her new love Donal Mulryan, Rockwell property founder.

The couple, who have been dating since last year, were photograph­ed with Isla and Savannah, her daughters with Peter, on a Mother’s Day outing to the Cirenceste­r horse trials.

There they watched the girls’ aunt, Zara Tindall, compete on her gelding Class Affair. They were joined by Zara’s husband Mike and his children, Mia, Lena and Lucas.

‘It looked like a happy family day out,’ said an onlooker. ‘Autumn and Donal were very relaxed about being seen together and totally focused on enjoying a couple of hours watching the horses and letting the children enjoy themselves.’

Princess Anne’s son Peter, 44, and Montreal-born Autumn, 43, announced in February 2020 they were planning to divorce after 12 years of marriage. Mulryan, who boasts that he has been behind more than £5bn of property schemes, and vast swathes of UK property is close friends with Prince Albert of Monaco, having lived in the principali­ty with his socialite wife Louise before they split years ago.

He is a brother of developer Seán Mulryan, founder of the Ballymore Group. London-based property magnate Donal, 52, has known Autumn for 15 years.
