Delighted crowds watched on as the mother-of-three leaned down, while on horseback, to share the sweet moment. 

The royal, 42, had sported a chic summery striped dress – which she later swapped out for riding gear – as she had a blast taking part in the day’s equestrian activities.

She was effortlessly sophisticated in a nautical-inspired button-up frock which she teamed with white sandal wedges – perfect for the mild, warm weather Down Under this week.

The mother-of-two also opted for a wide-brim hat and some shades to shield herself from the sun. 

Elsewhere Mike cut a dapper figure in navy blazer and tie, worn with beige chinos.

The exciting event saw professional polo players – including equestrian enthusiast Zara, Nacho Figueras and Delfina Blaquier – play two games.

The mother-of-three appeared to be completely in the zone as she rode a horse in white Jodhpurs, riding boots, a helmet, gloves and a black sports shirt. 

There were also three showjumping competitions featuring Olympic competitors.

Live entertainment is also promised, as well as a host of summery activities for guests to enjoy.

On the event’s Instagram page, it was also today announced that Zara would ride in the Magic Millions Queensland Off-The-Track Cup Final as the ‘Celebrity Wildcard’.

‘It’s great, the horses have finished their career on the track, and they have got the opportunity to have another career,’ she said in the post caption.

‘That’s what it’s all about, equine welfare and looking after the off the track.’

Zara and Mike have been making the most of their Australia trip, having enjoyed an evening of celebrations last night. 

Zara looked glamorous in an embellished midi dress as she attended an awards dinner with her husband.

The daughter of Princess Anne dressed up for the Magic Millions Racing Women Achievement Awards in a chic black dress, which featured gold floral embellishments.

She wore her blonde hair swept back in a sleek up-do for the occasion, and carried a white, pearlescent clutch bag with metal detailing.

Her dress, by Australian designer Rebecca Vallance, also featured slightly puffed cap sleeves, and fell to just below her knees.

She completed her ensemble with pointed black heels, and kept her make-up fresh and minimal for the dinner.

Her husband, former rugby union player Mike Tindall, also dressed up on Saturday night, in a cream suit jacket and black tie.

 

The Magic Millions Racing Women Achievement Awards celebrates ‘outstanding national success and achievements by women in the thoroughbred industry’.

Zara is one of five judges on the panel for the racing awards, which were presented to winners at the dinner. 

It comes after the keen equestrian commenced the year in style as she arrived at the Cheltenham Racecourse in a chic ensemble on New Year’s Day. 

The King’s niece  accompanied her youngest daughter Lena, five, in the paddock at Cheltenham Races – and the youngster appeared keen to grab her mother’s attention.

Mother-of-three Zara showed her style prowess and donned a plaid belted coat with a mahogany fur trim as she attended the races with her daughters Lena and Mia, and nieces Savannah and Isla Phillips.

She paired the ensemble with a chocolate-coloured fascinator featuring a statement golden bow and complemented the look with a quilted black leather bag and classic leather knee-high boots.

Meanwhile little Lena, who grabbed her mother’s hand tight and pointed out something that had caught her eye, looked adorable in a burgundy coat.

The Cheltenham Races traditionally falls on New Year’s Day, with families flocking to the area each year to watch the racing action.

As Lena and Zara were spotted in the paddock, Zara’s eldest daughter Mia was spotted on the balcony with her cousins Isla and Savannah Phillips, where the trio appeared enthralled by the happenings on the racing track. 

Mia, nine, appears to have taken after her parents, Mike and Zara, who are also keen horse racing fans, as she concentrated hard on the races. 

The King’s handsome equerry, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson, was in attendance today as he joined the Royal Family for their annual Christmas walk at Sandringham.

Closely followed by His Majesty, Mr Thompson, nicknamed ‘Major Eye Candy’ on TikTok, walked with senior royals as the crowd lined the road outside St Mary Magdalene Church for the traditional Christmas Day service at the Norfolk estate.

King Charles was accompanied by Camilla, the Queen Consort, at the head of the group, with the Waleses walking close behind alongside their three children George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five.

Mr. Thompson turned in a dapper appearance in a navy blue suit and blue blazer jacket.

The king’s handsome equerry first won admirers at the queen’s funeral and gained a legion of fans thanks to his somber appearance.

Once the Queen’s top bodyguard, he now serves His Majesty and was seen standing proudly next to King Charles during the coronation.

Earlier this year he made third place from Tatler Social Power Index, which shows where ‘real power lies in Britain’.

Away from his royal duties, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland lives in Surrey and is a father of one child and loving husband to his marketing manager wife Caroline, 44.

The devoted couple have been happily married since 2010 and welcomed their son in 2018. They also have two black Labradors named Odin and Piper – a nod to his military time in Scotland.

Just behind King Charles III and Queen Camila (at number one, natch), and billionaire businessman Sanjay and his fashion designer wife Anu Hinduja (at number two), the dashing equerry has cemented himself as one of the influential names in Britain . .

According to Tatler, Johnny has a ‘fantastic sense of humour’ and can look just as good in a suit as he does in a kilt.

They wrote: ‘It is from within the palace walls that the king’s equerry wields his unique brand of quiet, charming power; but he is seen where it counts, for example at the coronation, or on the opening night of the Berntson Bhattacharjee Gallery in Fitzrovia, where he wore a bunny tie and charmed India Rose James.’

During King Charles’ coronation in May, viewers rushed to social media to discuss not only the monarch’s coronation, but the very handsome man at his side.

“I have to admit, there were times when I was a little distracted today,” one person tweeted.

“Major Jonathan Thompson is the reason we are watching the coronation,” another added. “Look at his beauty and also his big calves.”

Other admirers also couldn’t help but point out the army officer’s striking looks, as another fan wrote: ‘Has anyone else clocked the dashing chap in the kilt?’

“Good to see the handsome Groom of the Robes, Lt. Col. Jonathan Thompson, actually getting naked,” another tweeted.

Lt. Col. Thompson is so handsome that some admirers even got a little territorial, warning others to “keep their hands off.”

‘That’s the dashing Major Johnny. Hands off!!’ wrote one Twitter user.

The officer became the object of the affection of royal guards last year after taking center stage at historic royal events following the Queen’s death.

He was captured on camera calmly and coolly removing a pencil tray that was cluttering the king’s desk as Charles signed the proclamation appointing him as the new monarch.

He was also seen in the procession as the Queen’s coffin was escorted from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall for the four days he lay in state.

He greeted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his trip to Britain in February and accompanied then-Prime Minister Liz Truss to a meeting with the king at Buckingham Palace in October 2022.

He was also spotted behind Harry and Meghan at the Platinum Jubilee National Service or Thanksgiving celebrations at St Paul’s Cathedral last June.

His role as Equerry, an officer of the Royal Household who assists members of the Royal Family, involves assisting the King with his daily duties, standing by his side at public events and looking after the carriages, carriages and Rolls-Royces of the monarch used in state ceremonies.

Lieutenant Colonel Thompson has had a relationship with the Royal Family for several years. He has been part of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland since 2006 and was previously one of the Queen’s most senior bodyguards.

Contrary to popular belief that he is Scottish, Lieutenant Colonel Thompson was actually born in Morpeth, Northumberland, and now lives with his family in Surrey.
