Zara and Mike Tindall led the royal arrivals as they joined Princess Anne in the Cotswolds for day three of Cheltenham Festival today.
The trio stepped onto the concourse in thick wintery coats as they prepared to brave the temperamental British weather on what is traditionally celebrated as St Patrick’s Thursday.
King Charles’s niece, who will enjoy her third day at the races today, sported a casual ensemble with a moss green long jacket with a waist cinching material belt.
Beneath her stylish jacket, the 42-year-old wore a paisley navy shirt and complimented the autumnal green with a handful of statement black pieces.
The royal equestrian sported a stylish pair of black leather gloves, which she paired with a fedora hat and gold chain bag in the same charcoal shade.
Zara opted for a glamorous makeup look, pairing a dark smoky eye with a flawless foundation base and pale pink lipstick.
The mother-of-three beamed as she looked up towards her husband, Mike Tindall, 46, who looked dapper in a brown tweed suit.
The former rugby player looked dashing in a three-piece tailored tweed suit with a navy tie and immaculate pair of chocolate suede brogues.

Meanwhile, Zara’s mother Princess Anne, 74, step foot in the Cotswold’s this morning for her first appearance at the annual racing festival, sporting a striking double breasted jacket.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Cheltenham Racecourse had renamed the National Hunt Chase in honour of Princess Anne.
The race henceforth be known as The Princess Royal National Hunt Chase.
The newly named race took place on day one of The Festival, Champion Day, Tuesday 11th March.
It honours the impressive accomplishments of the royal horsewoman who previously competed in the Olympics in 1976, won individual Gold at the 1971 European Eventing Championships at Burghley.
Anne stepped out in a deep magenta coat, wrapping up to brace the cold with a pink paisley scarf.
She completed the look with a burgundy leather satchel and pair of black gloves in a not dissimilar to her daughter Zara’s.
She finished the chic ensemble with a cossack fur hat in black. Anne opted for a typically laidback look with a fresh faced makeup look and light swash of nude lipstick.
It comes just a day after Zara joined her cousin, Princess Eugenie and Queen Camilla for ‘Style Wednesday’ yesterday, as the trio stepped out in effortlessly chic styles.

They joined a rather chilly Cheltenham on Wednesday – traditionally dubbed Ladies Day – but renamed last year after the show announced they would hand out fashion awards to both men and women.
The now-named gender-neutral Style Wednesday sees punters go the extra mile to impress with their glamorous ensembles – and those representing the royal family certainly did not disappoint.
The three royals appeared to be matching, all wearing various shades of burgundy in a display of unity, while first cousins Eugenie and Zara posed for photos together.
Meanwhile, Zara shared a passionate smooch with her husband Mike as they arrived at the event.
She opted for a Laura Green AW25 wool pinstripe suit with leather detailing and a pop of colour, as a burgundy turtleneck peeked through her blazer alongside a Strathberry bag – with a stunning fascinator to match Eugenie’s.
Princess Eugenie, 34, joined by her husband Jack Brooksbank, was on the same royal style memo as Zara, donning a double-breasted blazer in the same colour as Zara’s high-neck, and adding a Tudor-style hat.
The pair were spotted deep in conversation as they made their way to the course.
Their aunt Queen Camilla, 77, appeared in beaming spirits as she arrived in a more muted display, with a tailored coat paired with a burgundy leather bag and stunning faux fur-rimmed hat from Lock&Co.

Camilla looked elegant for her surprise visit, adding her double pansy brooch to her coat, and black suede boots – believed to be from Russell and Bromley.
As joint patron of the Jockey Club, she will later on present the trophy to the owner, jockey and trainer of the The Queen Mother Champion Steeple Chase.
And she was joined by her son, Tom Parker Bowles, as she watched the Turners Novice’s Hurdle.
Eugenie was also greeted by James Haskell, a known close pal of Mike, and who went public with his new Big Brother star girlfriend Sara McLean after his split from Chloe Madeley last year.
Speaking about the weekend, Mike said: ‘Cheltenham is so far so good. Tuesday was a horrible day for me as a punter, but it was a good day for the bookies, for sure.
‘Today, I’ve been hosting a table in The Green Room, so I haven’t been paying attention to any gambling. There’s a great atmosphere in here, it’s a great place to come.
‘I’ve had a little wander around the course, and it’s a great atmosphere at Cheltenham. The shopping goes off the charts anyway.
‘I think Cheltenham always has a good vibe about it. It has always got people who genuinely love watching the horses and are here for the right reasons. And you sort of feel that in the atmosphere.
‘I haven’t been into the Royal Box, so I cannot give you any insight about the Queen.
‘Zara is good. We obviously love this week. It’s a big week in our calendar. We just love being here. I think it takes more organisation this week than the rest of the 11 months of the year. But we love it. We are here every day.
‘It was a nice experience getting the train to Cheltenham from Paddington on Tuesday, and seeing all the people who were heading up from London. I’m supposed to be at the Continental Tyres Schools Cup on Thursday, but work commitments here mean I have to send James [Haskell] and Alex [Payne] instead to support that with our podcast [The Good, The Bad & The Rugby].’
According to the festival’s website, Style Wednesday ‘celebrates both the thrill of racing and the art of fashion’, with attendees interpreting the dress code in a multitude of colourful ways.
