Who's a beautiful baby? Zara's niece gets an excited cuddle from mummy

Her demeanour might well have been one of dignity and elegance for her sister-in-law Zara Phillips' wedding yesterday.

However today, Autumn Phillips showed off an all together more unguarded and loving side as she planted a kiss on the cheek of her adorable baby daughter as they left the Holyroodhouse.

Savannah looked delighted and grinned as her mother lifted her into the air and landed her lips on the little one's face.

Oh baby! Autumn chats with a policeman outside Holyroodhouse the day after the wedding, as baby Savannah looks on with curiosity
The youngster was also captured staring curiously at a policeman who chatted casually with her mother as they waited outside the wedding reception venue.

They were joined by a smiling Peter Phillips who looked relaxed as he loaded his family's belongings into a waiting car, including Savannah's buggy.

The Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips will marry long-term boyfriend Mike Tindall this weekend. In this picture gallery, we look back at their relationship.

Zara Phillips: wedding to Mike Tindall was amazing but sad I'm not on honeymoon

The Queen's granddaughter was back at work today, launching a range of children's equestrian clothing just days after the couple's wedding at Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk. Tindall returned to training yesterday.

Zara, who will still be known by her maiden name, said: ''The day was amazing and to have all of your friends there in one place, for both of us, was the best part of it.

''Unfortunately both of us do have quite busy lives so it's going to have to wait a bit for a honeymoon, but it is quite nice to go back to work as well.

''We're kind of missing the quiet period where we can catch up and have some sleep. It's back to work and that's what we do.''

She said the day had been nerve-wracking, adding: ''Everyone looked really serious when I walked in.''

Zara Phillips’ wedding dress….granny-chic?

The Second Wedding as it will probably come to be known took place on July 30, when the Queen’s granddaughter wed long-term beau Mike Tindall in what was a surprisingly innovative affair by royal standards, complete with drunken merriment thanks to a vodka fountain; fish and chips and a best man with a black eye (Yes, we’re just as intrigued). But let’s cut to the chase – were not concerned with the finer details of the biggest day of this royal’s life as much as we’re feasting our eyes on what she wore. Yes, (deep breath) another dress to dissect and ingest, only to throw up and re-examine in a different light.

We were taken aback by Kate’s dress choice as she stayed true to her homeland but chose a designer so eccentric, the fashion population couldn’t help but choke with happiness. She broke free from the quintessential shackles of ‘well-behaved’ royal wedding wear, and chose to let her fashion personality coyly peep through her silk tulle McQueen veil. But for me, equestrienne Zara’s novel approach to selecting her wedding dress truly defines the term ‘granny chic.’ She only went and chose Stewart Parvin, her grandmother’s regular (and favourite) outfitter and the very man who kitted out Queenie on the day.

OK, to the dress:  a fussy silk tulle cathedral veil which appeared to oddly sprout from the top of Zara’s head rather than fall gently onto her face wasn’t the most appealing first view as she stepped out from the car, but things improved slightly as we focused lower down. The dress itself; a silk faille and duchess satin creation with a corseted waistline appeared flattering, but averagely exciting. It didn’t give me the sudden I-will-replicate-very-dress-for my-wedding-day moment as I got with Kate’s.

For a person considered something of a royal rebel this wedding dress was a safe choice. Maybe Zara was sending out a silent message, that by keeping it low key she wanted to avoid direct comparisons with wedding dress limelight outlaw, Kate. Or maybe being 13th in the line of succession to the throne means you’re in no rush to charm the public into ‘accepting’ you as the future queen with your choice of needlework or dress cut.

But critics will refer and compare Zara’s sartorial shrewdness to that of Kate’s, and will measure, inch for inch, the godliness that Sarah Burton’s touch  brought to Kate’s big day with that of humble Edinburgh College of Art educated Parvin’s. Even though Kate’s dress was phenomenal in comparison, for me it’s a case of creating a fresh legacy that will have us recalling Zara Phillips as the woman who made grannies fashionable again.

William and Kate fly economy home from Zara Phillips' wedding

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, isn't kidding about relating to regular folks: She and Prince William flew a discount commercial airline home from Zara Phillips' royal wedding, leaving her open to the possibilities of fitting a fascinator into an overhead compartment.

Phillips, William's cousin and 13th in line for the throne, married England's rugby captain Mike Tindall on Saturday in Edinburgh, Scotland, drawing the likes of Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Phillip and Prince Harry, to name a few.

Yet when the titled bunch went packing, Will and Kate headed straight for the airport alongside other normal types who were booked on Flybe, a discount airline that averages about $80 for a one-way journey.

Passengers were "shocked" to see the famous couple on board, the Daily Mail said. They were traveling with a security staff but unable to upgrade to first class, as the jet service does not offer a VIP section — though "economy plus" comes with snacks and drinks.

Harry took a cue from his brother and sister-in-law, flying round-trip to the weekend wedding on EasyJet, which asked him an extra $20 to check his military-issue weekend bag.

Harry headed directly home to London, while the duke and duchess flew to Manchester (their home in Anglesey is about two hours from the Manchester airport).

Zara Phillips's Wedding

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge is a master at recycling looks from her own closet, but when it comes to her hats, it seems this royal is happy to splurge.

At the wedding of Prince William's cousin Zara Phillips to Mike Tindall, Kate accessorized her cream Collette Dinnigan French lace dress and Day Birger et Mikkelsen brocade coat (both worn in 2006) with a brand new, bespoke hat by British milliner Gina Foster.

Retailing for about $675, the natural straw coulis, called "Launceston Place," was customized by the duchess in a whirlwind visit to the hatmaker just 10 days before the nuptials. "She rang and asked to come in, then she tried a few on and we went from there," Foster tells PEOPLE from her tiny boutique in Kensington (a mere minutes walk from Kate's new apartment at Kensington Palace).

Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine is excellent at recycling images from her own closet, but when it comes to her hats, it seems this royal is happy to splash.

At the royal wedding of Prince William’s cousin Zara Phillips with Mike Tindall, Kate sports her cream Collette Dinnigan French lace dress and Day Birger et Mikkelsen brocade coat (both worn in 2006) with a latest, brand new hat by British milliner Gina Foster.

Retailing for around $675, the natural straw coulis, called “Launceston Place,” was tailored by the duchess in a whirlwind visit to the hatmaker just over a week before the nuptials. “She rang and asked to come in, then she tried a few on and we went from there,” Foster tells PEOPLE from her small boutique in Kensington (a tiny minutes walk from Kate’s new apartment at Kensington Palace).

Arriving for the appointment without a companion, Kate was her usual low-key self, spending just 30 minutes in the boutique. “She wanted something in a color to match her outfit,” says Foster, who adds that “she had her outfit and her bag with her” as she browsed the boutique. “There were people in the shop but she just strolled in – she’s a normal person I guess, she’s very down-to-earth and polite.”

Choosing to customize the sculptural style with an additional flower fixed under the bow detailing, the end result was the epitome of understated chic with just a hint of glam. “It’s a slight departure from her normal hat style but it’s quite good to try different shapes. And for a wedding it’s easier to wear something a bit more extravagant than you would wear for work,” Foster says. “It was contemporary yet sophisticated.” Much like the duchess herself.
