Princess Anne’s granddaughter and the Queen’s first great-granddaughter, Savannah Phillips, stepped into this year’s Christmas Day service at Sandringham as the unofficial leader of the royal family’s little family.
The 14-year-old girl took charge, making sure her younger cousins were well-behaved and content throughout the mass at St. Mary Magdalene Church.
Dressed in a beautiful burgundy coat—recycled from her mother’s autumn wardrobe.
As King Charles led the family’s Christmas service, Savannah, 19th in line to the throne, joined her aunt Zara Tindall to prove she is already a key player in the next generation of royals.

Photos capture her nurturing interactions with her younger cousins, offering support to Princess Charlotte and Lena Tyndall who clearly look up to her.
The teenager also shared a moment with ten-year-old Mia Tindall, who was snapped high-fiving her dad Mike Tindall, before Savannah resumed her royal duties, walking alongside Princes George and Louis. Stay alert for any need.
In a 2019 interview, Mike revealed that she, along with her cousin James, Viscount Severn, plays a leadership role in the younger royal set.
“James is the oldest, but Savannah is always ready to take charge,” she said, hinting that the royal family’s future could be in very capable hands.
