Stephanie Phillips, 23, is the daughter of Peter and Zara’s father Captain Mark Phillips and his second wife Hawaiian equestrian Sandy Pflueger. When her parents split in 2012, the horse lover is said to have been brought up on the farm where her father was chairman of the Festival of British Eventing.

And Stephanie’s Facebook profile states she is now sponsored by Voltaire Design, a high-end custom saddle company founded in Palm Beach, Florida.

Her father, 72, is a respected equestrian on the global stage and is said to be worth between £15 and £20 million in his own right, according to Bristol Live.

Raised on Aston Farm near the Gatcombe Park estate, Gloucestershire, Stephanie loved horses and travelling from an early age. 

She spent time at Dean Close School in Cheltenham, which caters for boarders and day students, and after her A-Levels. Stephanie attended University of Worcester to study Business Management. The extended royal graduated just last year.

And judging by her social media Stephanie enjoys an equally flashy life to her royal sibling. She takes after her Hawaiian-born mum Sandy who was part of the US dressage team in the 1984 Olympics.

And it seems that Stephanie enjoys a night out with her older half-siblings, having shared a photo of herself with Zara and Peter on New Year’s Eve a few years back.

Captain Phillips, who has spent a lot of time in America, and Princess Anne divorced in 1992, and he wed Sandy Pflueger five years later.

 

But the whole extended family have been pictured talking and laughing at equestrian events where Zara has been competing.

Photographs show she was very close to Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall and was a flower girl at both their weddings.

One cute snap on social media shows Stephanie giving Mike Tindall a piggyback and others show her at a fancy dress with brother Peter and his estranged wife Autumn.

In one post she describes Peter as ‘the best big brother’ .

Peter and Autumn Phillips daughters Savannah and Isla and Zara and Mike Tindall’s two eldest, Mia and Lena all live on the Gatcombe Estate and are very close.

Stephanie lives in nearby Worcester and has been dating William Hosier since 2019. It is understood he is an agricultural graduate.

Captain Phillips split with Hawaiian horse rider Sandy Pflueger in 2012, after 15 years of marriage.
