All About The Event Hosted By Princess Anne

Zara Tindall often competes in the competitions, but it's her brother, Peter Phillips, that really holds the reins. In 2010, he became the co-organizer of the festival. In an interview with Great British Life, he explained that it seemed like a natural progression. At the time, he was in his early 30s.

"It's something my father has wanted me to do for some time," he told the publication. "He's always been a great advocate of me being involved; of my stepping up into an organizational role." He added, "You can't really have a family dinner without horses coming up sometime in the conversation. And with Zara riding full time, of course, I take a keen interest in what she's doing." Phillips still holds the position, though he said in a recent interview with British Eventing Life that it isn't exactly easy: "It's a labor of love. There is a huge amount to organize."

These days, Phillips isn't just a co-organizer, but the event director. Considering how Phillips grew up attending the festival alongside his family, it seems like the perfect job for him. It's a huge undertaking with an enormous amount of responsibility that likely requires an awful lot of attention, both before and after the weekend itself. King Charles III may have inherited the throne, but Phillips is heir to the Festival of British Eventing.
