Off to the races! Sophie, Countess of Wessex, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips all attended the Royal Ascot on Thursday, June 17.

Zara previously attended earlier this week, while Sophie was spotted with her husband, Prince Edward, at the gathering.

The mom-of-two donned a green dress with a beige hat — the same headpiece she wore to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011!

Nailed it! Phillips — who sported a dark coat and a light vest — was animated as he got into the race. For her part, Tindall sported a floral frock for the occasion.

Despite finalizing his divorce earlier this week, Phillips seemed to be in a great mood.

"Mr. Peter Phillips and Mrs. Autumn Phillips are pleased to be able to report that the financial aspects of their divorce have been resolved through agreement, the terms of which have been approved and ordered by the High Court today," the former flames — who separated in 2019 — said in a statement on Monday, June 14. "Both Peter and Autumn are pleased to have resolved matters amicably with the children firmly at the forefront of those thoughts and decisions."

They added, "Whilst this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the wellbeing and upbringing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first and foremost. Both Peter and Autumn are pleased to have resolved matters amicably with the children firmly at the forefront of those thoughts and decisions. Peter & Autumn have requested privacy and consideration for their children as the family adapts to a new chapter in their lives."

Happy as a clam! Phillip was all smiles at the event.

Queen Elizabeth was not in attendance, but it seems like she will hopefully try to attend later this week.

"Obviously the Queen would love to attend, as you know she's fanatic about racing, watching racing and breeding horses, and has been going to Ascot all of her adult life," the Queen's racing manager, John Warren, said. "So, it's a shame to miss an event. The plan at the moment is to see how it goes towards the latter part of the week and if the Queen's able to come because she's got runners, then, fingers crossed, it will happen."
