Zara and Mike Tindall in very loved up display at Cheltenham as they ignore royal drama

Zara and Mike Tindall appeared to be putting any royal drama behind them as they walked hand in hand while attending the annual Cheltenham Races.

The daughter of Princess Anne, 41, often keeps a low profile despite her extremely regal ranking but often attends certain events with her relatives, including her husband Mike.

But as the royals face yet more drama surrounding the upcoming Coronation of Zara's uncle, King Charles III, the Olympian and her former rugby player husband continued to remain in high spirits.

Mum-of-three Zara who is currently 20th in line for the throne looked sensational as she ensured all eyes would be on her at the glamourous event.

The equestrian star rocked a burgundy Karen Millen coat which she also wore just three months ago at Princess Catherine's Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey.

Zara opted to complete her look with a black blouse along with skinny-fit trousers and a matching fascinator on her head.

Meanwhile, former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 44, looked dapper in a smart-fitting dark blue suit with a tie to match Zara's outfit.

Ahead of their day out, Zara who has proudly sat on the Cheltenham Racecourse committee since 2019 praised the venue for scrapping their dress codes.

Speaking on The Inside Track, the royal said: "They're just trying to be more inclusive and it's a different time of year as well.

"You want to stay warm, it's an easier time of year to stay more casual and still feel part of everything as well. "

Despite the new relaxed dress code which will also cover the Grand National at Aintree, no football kits or offensive attire is permitted, while trainers and jogging bottoms are no longer prohibited.

The pair walked through crowds holding hands as they set out to enjoy their day at the races.

Zara and Mike's outing comes as no surprise as she has previously won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games and was presented with her medal by her mother, Princess Anne.

But despite their happy outing, the House of Windsor has been slapped with further blows, with sources claiming that her cousin Prince Harry's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet may not be invited to their grandfather's Coronation in May.

A source claims that the Prince and Princess are "too young" to attend the prestigious event.

But Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, who turns eight just days before the coronation, are expected to attend the ceremony crowning King Charles III, reports the Telegraph.
