The Princess Royal looked regal in a dark military-style coat as she styled her grey-tinged hair in her signature bouffant.

However, the highlight of the event was someone else as Princess Anne was spotted chatting with a familiar face - Andrew Parker Bowles, her ex-boyfriend and Queen Camilla's ex-husband.

In 1970, King Charles’ sister and the British Army officer started dating each other, however, their romance was short-lived.

Mr. Parker Bowles later married Camilla Shand, King Charles’ now wife, in 1973. The estranged couple welcomed two children, Tom and Laura, before parting ways in 1995.

Since then, Princess Anne and Mr. Parker Bowles have maintained a close friendship and have been photographed together at various racing events.

Notably, Andrew Parker Bowles is also a godfather to Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall.
