Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall put on affectionate display as they attend Royal Ascot with Prince William and the Middletons

Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall put on a loving display as they attended Royal Ascot with Prince William and his in-laws today.

The Royal Family were out in full force today to attend the second day of racing in Berkshire.

Zara Tindall, 43, who looked elegant in a white floral dress, was photographed warmly greeting her cousin Princess Beatrice this afternoon.

Princess Anne’s daughter was seen giving Beatrice a kiss on the cheek and putting an arm around the royal mother-of-one, who was dressed in a pink floral dress and matching fascinator.

In addition, Zara greeted Beatrice’s mother equally warmly and placed a hand on the Duchess of York’s shoulder.

Sarah Ferguson, 64, cut a sophisticated figure in a white fitted dress and black hat with bow detail.

After the sweet exchange, Zara’s husband Mike was pictured giving Sarah a warm hug during drinks.

Zara was later seen speaking to Prince William and his mother-in-law Carole Middleton.

At one point in the conversation, Zara was pictured lovingly adjusting her cousin’s jacket, which he had paired with a top hat.

Princess Eugenie was also deep in conversation with Carole Middleton before the races started.

The royal opted for a white knitted midi dress and pink fascinator for the occasion, while mum-of-three Carole was elegant in a blue self-portrait dress.

The Middletons’ outing comes after their daughter Kate, 42, who has received chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer since February, made a spectacular return to public life on Saturday during Trooping the Colour.

Carole and Michael Middleton’s last public appearance was at Kate’s annual Royal Carols: Together at Christmas at Westminster Abbey in London in December.

Three months later, Kate announced her cancer diagnosis to the world.

Carole, 69, wearing a light blue dress from Self-Portrait worth £350 for today’s outing, has reportedly been supporting her daughter during her cancer treatment at her Windsor home.

Her floral dress was reminiscent of Kate’s £1,275 blue lace Elie Saab creation, which she first wore at Royal Ascot in 2019. The dress also featured a dainty bow and pleated details.

Carole proved to be a queen of coordination and paired her long-sleeved summer dress with a matching light blue fascinator, featuring a statement flower, and a pair of dark blue heels.

With a stylish clutch in hand, she completed her stunning look with a touch of glamorous makeup and a pair of gold earrings.

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

Standards have not dropped from yesterday’s glamorous fashion show, which saw revelers arrive dressed to the nines at Berkshire Racecourse this morning.
