Zara and Mike Tindall didn’t shy away from showing their affection publicly when they took part in the races Down Under.
The Queen and her ex-rugby player husband cuddled as they posed for photos after a tumultuous week for the royal family at the Magic Millions event in Queensland, Australia.
When explosive claims by Prince Harry were exposed following the release of his bombastic memoir, royal figures including the Queen Consort and the Prince of Wales have been in the line of fire. But nearly 10,000 miles from home, Princess Anne’s daughter, 41, and her husband, 44, couldn’t have been more carefree as they kissed for the cameras.
The couple’s PDA-filled display serves as a promotional video for Mike’s new podcast, Mike Drop, produced with Magic Millions, teasing his wife as a guest.

In a photo shared by Mike, the couple sit with heads close together as they share a drink and toast towards the camera.
In another, they looked relaxed as they posed with a group of friends in the sunshine.
A video clip also showed the Royals standing in the glorious Australian sun as they inspected some of the horses competing in the race weekend.
Zara was named the inaugural Magic Millions Racing Women Ambassador in 2012 and now travels to Surfers Paradise in Queensland every year for the Gold Coast Yearling Sale, seven days of auctions culminating in this weekend’s big race meeting, where all participants will buy horses from the previous Magic Millions Auctions.
The week’s events include show jumping and polo matches, in which Zara participates partially.
“This is an ongoing partnership, with Zara attending events each year to give gifts to the winners,” Mischa Jolin, chief executive of influencer, PR and branding agency Edencancan, previously told Femail.
“She is an integral part of the brand that empowers women in equestrian sport. I would estimate this partnership to be worth around £125,000 a year.’
Mike himself is about to start a new podcast with Magic Millions called Mike Drop – and a promotional clip for the series teased Zara as a guest.
In the video, the couple grin at each other and greet each other with, “Hello, my love.”
Zara’s next clip shows her rolling her eyes at her husband, who jokes, “Welcome to my world.”
They then dive into a conversation about horse racing, the topic the podcast focuses on.
