King Charles shared a warm embrace with his niece, Zara Tindall, at the opening day of Royal Ascot on Tuesday. The King and Queen arrived at the Berkshire racecourse in a carriage procession, where he was pictured kissing 42-year-old Zara. Zara, who is a former rugby star, attended the event with her husband, Mike. The equestrian wore a botanical print midi dress by Australian label, Leo Lin, a bespoke boater-style hat by Sarah Cant, and embellished heels from Sauvereign. Zara and King Charles share a passion for horses and equestrian sports, with Zara winning a silver medal as part of Team GB’s eventing team at the London 2012 Olympics. It’s no surprise that Zara shares a close bond with her uncle Charles, and they have often been spotted hugging or sharing a giggle together at public events over the years.
The relationship between Princess Royal and King Charles
Zara’s mother, the Princess Royal, has a close relationship with King Charles. The Princess Royal supported her brother in major roles at his coronation in May and Trooping the Colour earlier this month. Zara and her older brother, Peter Phillips, attended Charles and Camilla’s nuptials in Windsor in 2005, with the future King and Queen returning the favour at Mike and Zara’s Edinburgh wedding in 2011. The Tindalls were also part of Charles’s coronation celebrations, attending both the service at Westminster Abbey and the star-studded concert at Windsor Castle.
