As a young girl, she was known for her cheeky antics around her royal relatives.
But the days of mischief are definitely over for Savannah Phillips as she turns 14 today.
The late Queen Elizabeth’s eldest great-grandchild could soon even be taller than her aunt, Zara Tindall.
Earlier this year, Savannah supported Zara along with her mother Autumn Kelly and younger sister Isla at Blenheim Horse Trials.
She looked almost as tall as Zara, the younger sister of Savannah’s father, Peter Phillips, who is 6 feet tall.
Zara was seen smiling and hugging her niece after taking part in the horse trials.
Born on December 29, 2010 to Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly, Savannah is Princess Anne’s eldest grandchild.

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 by 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 at Windsor Castle in 2008 after meeting at the Montreal Grand Prix five years earlier.
Autumn was originally a Roman Catholic before marrying Peter, but renounced her faith so that 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 couple said at the time that they would share custody of their two daughters and that this decision was “the best course of action for their two children and an ongoing friendship.”
Their divorce was finalized in 2021 and a statement released at the time said: ‘While this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the well-being of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first.
‘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 attention for their children as the family adjusts 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 spotted at royal events, including Princess Kate’s Christmas carol concert last December.
Savannah was present with Peter, Isla and her aunt Zara.
She appeared calm and confident as the group smiled for the cameras as they entered Westminster Abbey.
Savannah wore a dress, black ballet pumps and a dark coat with gold buttons.
In September 2022, Savannah attended the Queen’s funeral with her sister and father.

As the Queen’s coffin arrived at St. George’s Chapel for the Committal service, Zara and her husband, Mike, were seen walking into the church hand-in-hand with their eldest daughter Mia, along with their nieces Savannah and Isla.
In March 2022, Savannah and her sister helped lighten the mood at Prince Philip’s memorial service at Westminster Abbey.
The pair appeared in good spirits and giggled with their dad in a sweet moment caught on camera.
Isla made crazy hand gestures at Peter while Savannah talked to her cousin Mia.
The young people all sang along to hymns during the service, occasionally throwing a grin in each other’s direction.
It wasn’t the first time Savannah had been involved in light-hearted antics.
In 2018, she stole the show when she put a hand over Prince George’s mouth on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the Trooping The Color parade.
The next day, she gave her cousin a playful shove off a grassy bank at the Beaufort Polo Club.

The incident seemed to prompt Autumn to have a stern talk with her daughter.
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 the bride down the aisle.
It seemed that the young man had imitated the trumpet fanfare to announce the Queen’s arrival, while George looked on, giggling.
