Zara and Mike Tindall Lead Royal Arrivals at Cheltenham Festival

Zara and Mike Tindall led the royal arrivals as they joined Princess Anne in the Cotswolds for day three of Cheltenham Festival today.

The trio stepped onto the concourse in thick wintery coats as they prepared to brave the temperamental British weather on what is traditionally celebrated as St Patrick’s Thursday.

King Charles’s niece, who will enjoy her third day at the races today, sported a casual ensemble with a moss green long jacket with a waist cinching material belt.

Beneath her stylish jacket, the 42-year-old wore a paisley navy shirt and complimented the autumnal green with a handful of statement black pieces.

The royal equestrian sported a stylish pair of black leather gloves, which she paired with a fedora hat and gold chain bag in the same charcoal shade.

Zara opted for a glamorous makeup look, pairing a dark smoky eye with a flawless foundation base and pale pink lipstick.

The mother-of-three beamed as she looked up towards her husband, Mike Tindall, 46, who looked dapper in a brown tweed suit.

The former rugby player looked dashing in a three-piece tailored tweed suit with a navy tie and immaculate pair of chocolate suede brogues.

Princess Anne Joins the Royal Family at Cheltenham Festival

Meanwhile, Zara’s mother Princess Anne, 74, step foot in the Cotswold’s this morning for her first appearance at the annual racing festival, sporting a striking double breasted jacket.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Cheltenham Racecourse had renamed the National Hunt Chase in honour of Princess Anne.

The race henceforth be known as The Princess Royal National Hunt Chase.

The newly named race took place on day one of The Festival, Champion Day, Tuesday 11th March.

It honours the impressive accomplishments of the royal horsewoman who previously competed in the Olympics in 1976, won individual Gold at the 1971 European Eventing Championships at Burghley.

Anne stepped out in a deep magenta coat, wrapping up to brace the cold with a pink paisley scarf.

She completed the look with a burgundy leather satchel and pair of black gloves in a not dissimilar to her daughter Zara’s.

She finished the chic ensemble with a cossack fur hat in black. Anne opted for a typically laidback look with a fresh faced makeup look and light swash of nude lipstick.

Zara and Mike Tindall Enjoy the Festival

Despite the unpredictable weather, Zara and Mike didn’t hesitate to immerse themselves in the spirt of the day, grinning from ear to ear as they were snapped up.

Zara slipped on a pair of stylish tortoiseshell sunglasses as the sun began to shine through.

It comes just a day after Zara joined her cousin, Princess Eugenie and Queen Camilla for ‘Style Wednesday’ yesterday, as the trio stepped out in effortlessly chic styles.

Style Wednesday at Cheltenham Festival

They joined a rather chilly Cheltenham on Wednesday – traditionally dubbed Ladies Day – but renamed last year after the show announced they would hand out fashion awards to both men and women.

The now-named gender-neutral Style Wednesday sees punters go the extra mile to impress with their glamorous ensembles – and those representing the royal family certainly did not disappoint.

The three royals appeared to be matching, all wearing various shades of burgundy in a display of unity, while first cousins Eugenie and Zara posed for photos together.

Meanwhile, Zara shared a passionate smooch with her husband Mike as they arrived at the event.

She opted for a Laura Green AW25 wool pinstripe suit with leather detailing and a pop of colour, as a burgundy turtleneck peeked through her blazer alongside a Strathberry bag – with a stunning fascinator to match Eugenie’s.
