Excited Mia Tindall cheers with betting slip in hand as family go to races
Zara and Mike Tindall's eight-year-old daughter Mia Tindall could today be seen cheering on the horses while attending the New Year's Day Racing at Cheltenham Racecourse with her family. The young royal clutched a betting slip in her hand as she excitedly watched the race, evidently enjoying her day out with parents Zara, 41, and Mike, 44, and little sister Lena, four.
Another photo from the sporting event shows Zara beaming at her eldest daughter, who wore a smart grey coat paired with brown boots and a dark blue headband.
Mum-of-three Zara, the daughter of Princess Anne, looked smart and stylish in a long belted navy coat, which she'd accessorised with a small burgundy handbag and matching hat. Former rugby union player Mike also went with burgundy for the colour of his tie, which he wore with beige chinos and a dapper flat cap.
The middle Tindall child, Lena, wore a red double-breasted coat fastened with gold buttons, which she paired with a thick headband and boots, much like her big sister.
The youngest Tindall child, Lucas, who will turn two in March, was not photographed at the festive event and was perhaps considered to be still too young to join in the fun.
The Tindall family looked relaxed and happy as they strolled around the famous race course today, kicking off the brand new year by attending one of the most iconic and exciting events of the racing calendar.
The annual New Year's Day racing at Cheltenham takes place every year on January 1 at the Gloucestershire racecourse. As well as racing, families with little ones can enjoy a variety of entertainment at the 'Family Fun Zone', including bouncy castles, face painting, and 'walking pet balloons'.
This comes after Mike revealed why exactly his three young children don't dine with other members of the royal family when sitting down for Christmas dinner at the Sandringham estate.
Speaking on the House of Rugby podcast, Mike explained: "There must be about 70 of us there. There are seven tables and then the kiddies have their own little one in a different room."
