Mike Tindall places a cheeky hand on Zara’s bottom as they attend Ladies Day at Royal Ascot

Zara and Mike Tindall once again cemented their reputation as PDA royals on Thursday when the rugby player couldn’t resist putting a hand on his wife’s bum at Royal Ascot.

King Charles’ niece, 43, beamed as she arrived in a carriage alongside the Duke and Duchess of Richmond and Gordon.

And Zara stole the show on Ladies’ Day in a dazzling blue dress, alongside her rugby-playing husband Mike Tindall, who looked dapper in a gray suit and top hat.

The couple, who have long been known for their affectionate displays, were deep in conversation as Mike placed a cheeky hand on Zara’s bottom.

Meanwhile, Zara gently supported Mike’s hand in a sweet and loving display of affection.

The King’s niece, 43, beamed as she arrived at the Berkshire races for a third day

King Charles and Queen Camilla also attended the event in Berkshire, joining the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire in their carriage.

Although she was dressed in blue, Zara’s mood was far from the way she stepped out of the carriage for another day at the races.

She opted for the beautiful Rebecca Vallance Juliana dress with puff sleeves in a cornflower blue shade, which was smartly fitted with a belt and a braid around the neckline.

She added a pretty matching hat, while her accessories included shades of white in her pearl earrings, clutch and heels.

Power couple Zara and Mike were deep in conversation as they waited for the races to begin what will be another exciting day of action.

They love loving public displays – and especially sharing cheeky cuddles and amorous touches at the Cheltenham Festival in March.

The two are known for their friendly relationships with everyone in the royal family, marking themselves as key players connecting the members of the firm.

They are close to the Wales’s, while Zara is close to her cousins ​​Beatrice and Eugenie.

Billionaire Aga Khan’s daughter, Princess Zahra Aga Khan, joined the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh in another carriage.

Glamorous racegoers put their best fashion foot forward as they arrived in the sunshine at Royal Ascot today to kick off Ladies Day.

Floral summer dresses, vibrant frocks and statement headpieces were all on display as thousands of partygoers descended on Berkshire Racecourse this morning.

Flashy headgear seemed to be the order of the day, with beaming racegoers displaying an array of fantastic fascinators and quirky hats.

One guest decided to stand out from the crowd with a balloon-themed headpiece, while another opted for a fireworks-themed creation.

Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the British racing calendar, started on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and runs until Saturday.

Although she wore blue, Zara’s mood was far from the one she waved from her carriage

Beaming guests turned the racecourse into a sea of ​​colorful ensembles as they stepped out for the prestigious occasion.

Those trying to turn heads among the crowd of thousands opted for unique headgear, including a unicorn-themed creation and even an owl design.

Novelty hats proved to be the biggest trend of the day, with one person showing up in a civilian-inspired hat and another showing off a checkerboard fascinator.

The crazy, gravity-defying style of hats is allowed in most areas of Ascot, except the Royal Enclosure.

“A hat or headgear with a solid base four inches in diameter is required in the Royal Enclosure,” according to the Royal Ascot website.

‘Fascinators are not allowed. Novelty hats (i.e. hats that are excessively large, or that promote or market a product or brand) are not permitted.”

This year’s meeting will have a total prize money pot of £10 million. This is a record amount for Royal Ascot. The minimum winnings for all eight Group 1 races is £650,000.

It was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne after she declared Ascot ideal for ‘horses capable of galloping at full speed’ and today has become an important social event as well as a sporting attraction.

For the first time in its 313-year history, Ascot Racecourse this year announced the appointment of a creative director.
