Zara and Mike Tindall share a sweet moment on Day 2 of Royal Ascot
Zara and Mike Tindall looked as loved-up as ever as they attended the Royal Ascot in Berkshire this afternoon.
The pair shared a sweet moment when Mike was seen wiping something off his wife’s cheek as their carriage toured the racecourse.
The daughter of Princess Anne, an Olympic silver medal-winning equestrian, and her former rugby player husband shared the intimate moment as they took part in the traditional royal procession this afternoon.
Zara looked stunning in a dark aubergine dress by Laura Green, paired with a bespoke teal fascinator by Juliette Botterill, her blonde locks neatly pinned back in a low bun.
When the couple arrived, they were joined by other royals, including the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and King Charles and Queen Camilla.

After horse trainer William Haggas, who rode with the couple and pointed out to his wife that Zara had something on her cheek, Mike chivalrously intervened to wipe her cloth.
He was seen leaning forward and gently dabbing his finger over her skin as she smiled tenderly.
The royal accessorized the elegant outfit with Laurence Coste earrings and an Anya Hindmarch bag with Dune heels.
Meanwhile, Mike looked smart in a gray suit, paired with a blue tie and light blue shirt.
After her carriage ride, Zara was joined at the racecourse by her mother, the Princess Royal, who looked stunning in pale blue and white.
Zara’s presence on the second day of the festival followed her show-stopping performance on Tuesday, where she donned a £660 light green Cecilia floral midi dress by Leo Lin for the occasion.
She paired the elegant outfit with a nude clutch bag and nude Sauvereign shoes adorned with gold gems and her initials on the bottom.
As the festivities continue for the second day in the baking summer sun, partying race-goers will no doubt be ready for another day of partying.

Enthusiastic race-goers brought glamor to Berkshire again this morning as they arrived on the second day of Royal Ascot 2023.
Classy ladies were spotted hitting the racecourse ahead of another day of heart-pounding racing and plenty of partying.
The glamorous and colorful scenes at the start of day two come after hilarious antics captured last night as the festival’s opening day draws to a close.
Among the scenes of revelers heading home after a day of partying were savvy women who had dropped their high heels in favor of sensible flats to travel home with, as well as a gentleman who had bought some snacks to prepare him the evening.
In this year’s pamphlet, the newly crowned King and Queen took the opportunity to write a special message to the guests.
They wrote: ‘We are delighted to welcome you to Royal Ascot in this year of our coronation.
“Five days of oh very competitive racing will be re-watched and enjoyed by millions both here and abroad.
“We are pleased to know that this historic race meeting continues to have an important impact on the global racing and breeding industry.
“The Royal Meeting has always played a central role in Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s calendar and the naming of the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes will be a very appropriate way to mark this lifelong interest.
Mike looked very smart for his day during the races and, like other male attendees, wore a flower on his lapel

A photo exhibition in the gallery will also celebrate the late Queen’s close connection to Royal Ascot, including photos of some of her twenty-four winners.
‘We are sure that his exhibition will bring back many fond memories.
‘As improving sustainability is critical for all events and businesses, we were delighted to hear that the Village Enclosure at Ascot will be net carbon neutral this year and that the racecourse is making a renewed effort to minimize waste.
Finally, we wish all owners, breeders, trainers, jockeys and hard-working stable employees good luck this week.
“It is a huge and rare achievement to have a runner at Royal Ascot and we sincerely hope you all enjoy the experience.”
This year, race organizers paid tribute to Royal Ascot’s ‘biggest fan’, Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away last September.
During her 70-year reign, the late Her Majesty attended almost every Royal Ascot festival, with the exception of last year.
This year, the organizers have displayed a heartwarming collection of photos of the Queen visiting Ascot over the years.
Prince and Princess Michael of Kent were among the royals at Berkshire Racecourse this afternoon
The Prince and Princess walked arm in arm, Prince Michael in a three piece suit and the Princess in a lilac two piece suit.
They include a black and white photo of the royal family riding the track in 1960 when she was 34 years old.
The mother of four was depicted wearing a headscarf and riding boots as the horse galloped down the track.
The Queen took part in an unofficial race with other members of her royal party and finished fourth.
In addition, the organizers also select a photo of the Queen beaming on Ladies Day in 2013.
The event proved to be one of the Queen’s most successful Ascots as her horse Estimate won the Gold Cup – making her the first monarch in 200 years to win the award.
The late royal was pictured beaming at her trophy, which was presented to her by her son Prince Andrew.
The Queen was dressed in one of her signature robe dresses in a pretty shade of purple.
Under her jacket, the queen wore a beautiful floral dress – which matched perfectly with the flowers on her hat.
The image shows the Queen wearing a three-strand pearl necklace – which she also wore to her last-ever Ascot in June 2021.
