Mike Tindall appeared in high spirits tonight as he joined his wife Zara for her first appearance with the royal family since her run on I’m A Celebrity.
Princess Anne’s son-in-law, 44, looked sharp in a navy suit with a red tie, while his wife donned a maroon coat for the occasion.
Today’s appearance marked the first for Mike and Zara with other members of The Firm since they returned from Australia after Mike’s reality stint.
Senior members of the royal family headed to the central London church to support Kate’s Together at Christmas concert as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex escalated their war with them and the British media.
Mike Tindall appeared in high spirits tonight as he joined his wife Zara for her first appearance with the royal family since her run on I’m A Celebrity.
Sophie, Countess of Wessex, arrived shortly after Kate and was soon joined by Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, who were her husband.
Eugenie was seen in the sixth episode of the Harry and Meghan Netflix series visiting the family at their home in Montecito, California.
Also present is Prince Michael of Kent and his wife, Princess Michael. It made headlines last week when Netflix reviewed the moment she wore a Blackamoor brooch to a Christmas lunch Meghan attended in 2017.
Last week, Mike reached out to Prince Harry’s rumored ex-boyfriend, just a day after the first part of the Sussexes’ bombshell documentary was released, when he and his wife Zara visited Cheltenham.
Senior members of the royal family headed to the central London church to support Kate’s Together at Christmas concert as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex escalated their war with them and the British media.
Mike looked ready for a day at the races in a flat cap and beige blazer, worn over a matching vest, as he posed for a friendly photo with the 45-year-old sports reporter.
The mother-of-two had sparked relationship rumors with the 38-year-old Duke of Sussex in 2006 after photos of the couple surfaced and a source reported at the time that Harry was “absolutely smitten” with her.
However, the relationship never blossomed further and Natalie married her now-husband, television executive Owain Walbyoff.
Natalie was all smiles as she enjoyed the racetrack with the royal couple, following Netflix’s dramatic drop of the Harry and Meghan docuseries, which many have perceived as an attack on The Firm and the British press.
While Mike donned a sleek navy suit, Princess Anne’s daughter Zara opted for a burgundy coat.
The couple entered the ‘Together at Christmas’ carol service at Westminster Abbey hand in hand.
The royal couple appeared in high spirits during the outing, which is their first with the family since Mike’s return from I’m A Celebrity.
Meanwhile, Mike had previously revealed on his Instagram how he and his eldest daughter, Mia, had enjoyed a morning of ‘sushi and nails’ together, where he showed off their matching blue manicures.
She brandished shimmering Tiffany blue painted nails, the perfect shade to match her tie, as a beloved Zara laughed at the photos alongside her husband, looking effortlessly chic in a velvet guinea coat with silver buttons.
The royal athlete was accessorized in a matching Somerset Millinery trilby hat, trimmed with an emerald green sash.
Knee-high boots and a deep jade clutch completed the ensemble.
The couple was also photographed with Dolly Maude and Natalie wearing similar hats.
Outside the church, Mike could be seen laughing with another member of the royal family as they arrived.
Zara also beamed in another group snap, shared by ITV Sports presenter Ed Chamberlin, who also posed with the couple, alongside professional cyclist Ap McCoy.
“Between us we have won a World Cup, a World Championship and 20 Jockeys titles!…and a BAFTA,” the Instagram caption read.
The outing comes after a morning filled with loving fatherly duties for Mike, who took to Instagram to share an adorable snap with his daughter.
Posting to her stories, the I’m A Celeb fan favorite brandished colorful sparkly teal painted nails, courtesy of her eight-year-old son.
Meanwhile, Mia sported a matching manicure with a metallic blue coat, placing her tiny hand next to her father’s for comparison.
“Fun daddy and daughter day,” he wrote. Sushi and nails!!
Mia has two siblings: Lena, four, and Lucas, one.
Her husband, Mike, who came third on the popular ITV show, looked dapper in a velvet tuxedo and bow tie, teamed with a white shirt and black tailored trousers.
The couple had been vacationing in Australia since the reality show ended last month.
Mike has shared snaps from his fun-filled vacation, which included a trip to the VALO Adelaide 500 track.
In one photo, the royal couple shared a tender moment when Mike appeared to lean in to kiss his wife’s cheek at a restaurant.
The father-of-three captioned the shots: ‘Yesterday’s big day started on the @adelaide500 track with @markberetta and on to @starofgreece for lunch before heading over to @darenbergwine for a little tasting.
“Then to a state dinner that ended @icehouseband #goodday #southhaustralia.”
Earlier that week, Zara joined her husband in the Adelaide 500, which is part of the 2022 Supercars Championship Season, at Adelaide Parklands Circuit.
