Mia Tindall appeared all grown up as she joined her mother Zara for Cheltenham’s Festival Trial day at the racecourse earlier today.

Zara, 40,  who welcomed son Lucas in March last year, could be seen beaming as she strode across the grounds of the course this afternoon.

The Queen’s granddaughter opted for a mid-length maroon coat for the occasion, which she paired with a pair of black heeled boots and a matching handbag. 

She cuddled up with eight-year-old Mia during the outing, with her eldest daughter opting for a sparkley black dress for the occasion.

Zara opted to keep her makeup minimal for the outing, sweeping dark eyeliner along her lids and a touch of blusher across her cheeks.

Meanwhile the mother-of-three swept her blonde locks into a ponytail for the occasion.

She was snapped beaming as she offered jockey Sam Twiston-Davies a hug following the race.

Days ago, Zara’s husband Mike joked about being the ‘ugly’ host of his rugby podcast when he appeared on This Morning to discuss his show’s upcoming tour.

The former English rugby player, 43, presents The Good, the Bad, and the Rugby alongside former teammate James Haskell and TV presenter Alex Payne.

Mike is set to take the podcast on a UK tour with James and Alex. He and James were invited onto This Morning to promote the upcoming tour, as well as discuss why they often discuss non-rugby topics like mental health and family.

‘The best thing about the podcast is that it’s about rugby but we don’t really talk about rugby,’ said Mike, who added that they get ‘into the mental health side’.

He explained: ‘For people who finish rugby and are transitioning into civilian life…you’re going to have to go [and] find another job, and that generally means you’re starting at the bottom again.

‘When you’ve gone from 87,000 fans or whatever watching a big game, to then having to start at the bottom and work your way in, it’s quite difficult.’  

Since the arrival of her third child, Zara has been spotted on low-key family outings.

Last year, Zara described how riding for her country is what ‘dreams are made of’ and how she is lucky to have her horses with her in lockdown.

The Queen’s eldest granddaughter, 40, is a regular attendee of Cheltenham’s events and went to the November meeting a few weeks ago.

The mother-of-three described it as an ‘honour’ to become a director at Cheltenham Racecourse.

Zara has owned, bred and pre-trained in the past, as well as of course winning her gold medal at the Eventing World Championships in Aachen in 2006 and silver at the London 2012 Olympics.

It was her mother, Princess Anne, who presented her with her medal at for the team eventing win.

In 2006, the British public voted for her as BBC Sports Personality of the Year and was awarded an MBE in 2007 for services to equestrianism.
