Zara and Mike entered the abbey hand in hand along with Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Prince Harry, Jack Brooksbank and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Today’s celebration comes after a late night for the couple that last night partied at the private member venue The Arts Club until 2am after a royal dinner.
Zara and Mike have no official duties, but are regular guests at royal events, such as church services and the Jubilee.
An accomplished equestrian and Olympian, Zara, despite being a granddaughter of the monarch and cousin of a future king, has maintained a relatively low public profile and often spends her weekends attending sporting events.
Last week, the athlete was across the pond in Lexington, Kentucky for an equestrian competition with her steed, Class Affair.
Other members of the royal family – including Zara’s cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie – joined the couple last night to kick off the festive weekend.

Zara Tindall opted for a sleek hairstyle and a chiffon hat and a pair of simple diamond dangle earrings. The Tindalls were out until 2 a.m. this morning
The couple left the Mayfair club Oswald’s at 11pm after having dinner with other members of the royal family, including Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne.
The Tindalls then continued their evening at The Arts Club, where they left around 2am and were photographed on the street looking for a taxi home.
They had only left Westminster Abbey nine hours before the 11:00 a.m. coronation, after the procession from Buckingham Palace, which began at 10:20 a.m.
A witness told MailOnline, “After leaving Oswald’s, they continued partying near the Arts Club, leaving at about 2am.”
The witness added that the Tindalls were then seen ‘stumbled in the street taking in all the coronation garlands before boarding a taxi home’.
Zara’s Uncle Charles was heir since he was three years old, and is now ready to finally embrace his destination day with the woman he loves by his side. VIP guests lined up for a mile from the abbey from 6am to get one of the top 2,300 seats.

Charles will be crowned in a Christian ceremony that stretches back 1,000 years on a day dripping with glorious pageantry. It will also highlight Britain’s place on the world stage.
And on the streets of London today, including in a packed Mall, there is tremendous excitement among tens of thousands who have camped out for days to watch the extraordinary event happen. More than 100 million people watch on TV around the world.
Nearly 2 million people – from all corners of the UK, the Commonwealth and the world – are flocking to central London despite rain being forecast. The trains to the capital were overcrowded this morning, with soldiers taking part in the ceremony pouring into the main stations.
The king’s guests arrived at the abbey from 7 a.m. – four hours before the ceremony. About 100 heads of state are in London, with representatives from 203 countries.
The royal couple grinned and walked hand in hand as they entered Westminster Abbey, joined by Peter Phillips, for the first coronation in 70 years
The couple left Oswald’s Mayfair club at 11pm after a meal with other members of the royal family, including Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne.
Zara opted for a more glamorous makeup look, with touches of blush and highlighter and eyeliner while her husband Mike looked smart in his suit

The longest-serving heir to the throne in British history will be crowned today at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony steeped in the majesty of his illustrious ancestors, but also embracing and highlighting the proud diversity of contemporary Britain.
“There will be all the pomp and circumstance you can dream of, but as little of ‘them and us’ as possible,” a senior royal aide said last night.
Crowned alongside the king, 74, will be his wife of 18 years – and his love for much, much longer.
The once unthinkable has become a reality and from today the former Camilla Parker Bowles will be known as Queen Camilla as she has been anointed and has Queen Mary’s crown on her head.
Yesterday, the 75-year-old queen consort made only a brief public appearance as she attended a final rehearsal at the abbey with her husband in the morning. She chose not to attend any of the other public engagements at his side, preferring to “set her pace” and also make sure “the day was about her husband,” sources said.
“She loves him unconditionally and always wants him to shine,” said a friend.
Last night, the pair retreated to enjoy a private dinner at their London home, Clarence House.
“The calm before the storm – perhaps both figuratively and literally,” said a friend, with a nod to the gloomy weather forecast, something the new King and Queen celebrations have in common with the late Queen’s coronation in 1953.
