Zara and Mike Tindall made a stylish entrance at the Cheltenham Festival today, showcasing their impeccable fashion sense while navigating the latest royal controversy.
The couple, known for their love of horse racing, was all smiles as they arrived for the festival’s opening day, undeterred by the rainy weather.
Zara, Princess Anne‘s daughter, turned heads in a stunning navy blue belted coat designed by Karen Milne, retailing at £185.
Underneath, she sported a chic blue turtleneck that complemented her ensemble perfectly.
Her look was elevated with black leather gloves and striking black suede Highland boots from Stuart Weitzman, which come with a hefty price tag of £895.
Zara accessorized with a stylish Loxley mini bag, adding a touch of elegance to her outfit.
The royal’s attention to detail was evident in her choice of headwear.
Zara adorned her hair with a large teardrop-shaped headpiece in dove grey by Victoria Charles, accented with a black feather and an antique black veil.
A dark blue belt cinched her waist, providing a striking contrast to the coat’s original belt.
Her earrings, featuring gold hoops and pearls crafted by Colliger, completed her sophisticated look.
Mike Tindall matched his wife’s elegant vibe in a navy blue coat, echoing Zara’s color scheme.
He paired it with a smart blue pantsuit and topped off his outfit with a dark felt hat.
The couple appeared in high spirits, posing for photos and enjoying the festive atmosphere at one of their favorite events.
The Cheltenham Festival, a beloved tradition among the royal family, is set to feature 28 races over the course of four days.
The Tindalls’ presence at this event underscores their passion for horse racing, a shared interest that has become a staple in their lives.
Also spotted at the festival was Lady Dolly Maud, the newly appointed lady-in-waiting to Princess Anne.
A close friend of Zara’s, Lady Maud played a significant role in Zara and Mike’s wedding in 2011, serving as a bridesmaid.
Notably, she was also present during the birth of the King’s third child, Lucas, in 2021, highlighting her deep ties within the royal circle.
However, the Tindalls’ appearance comes amidst a swirl of royal drama.
Recently, the Princess of Wales found herself at the center of controversy following the release of a digitally manipulated Mother’s Day photo.
Kensington Palace shared an image of Kate Middleton with her children, but it quickly drew criticism for its alterations.
The backlash led several news agencies to retract the photo, prompting an apology from the Princess of Wales.
The royal family has faced a tumultuous start to 2024.
