Royal fans delight in seeing displays of affection between Princess Anne's daughter Zara Tindall and her husband Mike and on Sunday, the royal's son-in-law put the playful side of his marriage on full display.

Former England rugby star Mike, 46, took to Instagram to share a photo of Zara with her cousin, Princess Eugenie, when the pair attended the Platinum Jubilee National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral in 2022.

Cheekily, Mike had superimposed a set of Starburst sweets in pink and orange beside the photo of Zara and Eugenie to match the colours of their bright dresses.

"Completely forgot about this photo!!!", Mike joked.

Zara's outfit in detail

Despite Mike's sweet jesting about the outfits, Zara looked fabulous on her late grandmother's special day. The dress in question was a hot pink Laura Green number with a collared neckline, belted waist, and A-line skirt.

Zara's recent looks

More recently, Zara has been spotted wearing a far more casual look as she and her husband jetted off to Australia and headed to a State of Origin event where they watched the NSW Blues against the QLD Maroons rugby match.

The royal sported a pair of barrel jeans with a cropped beige jacket and a QLD Maroons scarf to brave the Aussie summer.

Before this, she rocked smart-casual at Royal Windsor Cup Polo Guards Polo Club 2025 at Porchester Hall, donning a Ralph Lauren striped shirt dress with a straw boater and heeled block-heel sandals.

It was a look that royal fans could take style notes from, as Zara had seemed to do from a fellow royal prior to heading out.
