Last weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix attracted a whole host of famous folk, including Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, as Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen began the F1 season in style once again.
The royal attendees were snapped arriving back on home soil together with some fellow Formula 1 enthusiasts onboard: Zara and Mike Tindall, The Grand Tour's Jeremy Clarkson and his partner Lisa Hogan, Madonna and Guy Ritchie's son Rocco Ritchie, and socialite Tamara Beckwith and billionaire David Howden.
Reports suggest it was quite the party plane headed back from the Middle East - a swish Boeing 737 vessel costing an estimated £120,000 each way and packed with all sorts of booze and grub.
The plane ride concluded at Oxford Airport, with Jeremy, 63, seen beaming as he took the steps down to tarmac before bidding his friends farewell. Eugenie, 33, donned a woollen beige trench coat and denim jeans with a pair of white trainers.
It's understood that the A-list group bare strong links to Christian Horner and his Spice Girls wife Geri, but during such a challenging personal time, the couple travelled home separately.
A month ago, 51-year-old Geri (known as Ginger Spice in her pop group's heyday) was reportedly "standing by" her husband, 50, who is the team principal of Red Bull Racing.
A source close to her told The Sun: "Geri has been in floods of tears all weekend while looking after her kids. She is insisting Christian has done nothing wrong."
A spokesperson told the PA news agency: "After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company [F1] launched an independent investigation. This process, which is already underway, is being carried out by an external specialist barrister.
"The company takes these matters extremely seriously and the investigation will be completed as soon as practically possible. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time."
Christian's emotional statement in full before he was cleared after the investigation read: "I have the support of an incredible family, an incredible wife, an incredible team and everybody within that team. And my focus is going racing, winning racing and doing the best I can. It was a day about starting the season in the best possible way. My focus is on this team, my family, my wife and racing."
Before Saturday's race, Christian and Geri displayed unity by rendezvousing at the main entrance to the paddock after he exited the back of Red Bull's hospitality suite. The pair held hands while walking past his competitive rivals, attracting loads of attention from the media in the process.
They seemed comfortable during lunch, too, where they were joined by Flavio Briatore, Red Bull's head of communication and former F1 team principal, and Chalerm Yoovidhya, a Thai billionaire who owns most of Red Bull.
