Mike Tindall has shared a sweet Instagram message to wife Zara on her 44th birthday.
The former rugby player, 46, shared a sweet snap of the pair lovingly gazing into each others eyes at The Belfry Hotel and Resort following a Celebrity Golf Classic event last year.
He captioned the post: 'Happy Birthday to the better Tindall. She's even let me play golf on her birthday!'
In the snap Princess Anne 's daughter looked typically glamourous in a wide-legged jumpsuit from ME + EM which featured a cinched waistline and a ruffled shoulders.
The stunning gown featured a high-neck and a keyhole detail on the chest with ruffle detailing.
Her blonde locks were straight and her glam makeup enhanced her flawless complexion.
Meanwhile Mike also looked very smart in in a soft pink linen blazer, a white shirt, navy chinos, and a pair of navy trainers as he wrapped his arm around his wife.
Many royal fans rushed to the comments to wish the King's neice a happy birthday.
One person wrote: 'Happy birthday Zara! You are always beautiful.❤️'
Another added: 'A very happy birthday to Zara ❤️❤️ You two have a sweet family, and Zara is a wonderful woman.'
Another added: 'Wishing the happiest birthday to the beautiful Zara! I hope you'll have a great day together.'
It's not known if the pair have plans to celebrate Zara's birthday together but last year Mike celebrated his 46th birthday in Barcelona with Zara.
The couple appeared carefree as they relaxed on a yacht and joined spectators at Port Vell along the beach to Port Olímpic to show support for Ineos Britannia, who were competing in the 37th America's Cup.
A second photo shows the couple - joined by two friends - raising glasses of bubbles at the camera, as Mike beamed while layered up in a grey wool jumper.
It comes after Zara looked to be in high spirits as she attended the fifth and final day of the MARS Badminton Horse Trials on Sunday to collect a revered accolade.
She beamed as she posed with other attendees at the event, which kicked off in Gloucestershire on Wednesday.
Radiating sporty casual, the daughter of Princess Anne dressed for the warmer weather in wide-leg jeans and a blue cropped jacket, adorned with golden buttons.
She kept her blonde tresses out of her face with a ponytail, and looked excited to chat with others at event - even being snapped giggling at something.
Keeping her look practical yet classy, the mother-of-three donned simple white trainers.
For her make-up, Zara opted for a fresh-faced visage that accentuated her eyes, and kept accessories minimal.
The Badminton Horse Trials are known to be 'one of the toughest and most exciting equestrian events – the pinnacle of the worldwide horse trials calendar'.
For four days, competitors are tested on a myriad of disciplines, including dressage, a cross country course and show jumps.
It was also a big day for Zara, who today collected her first 'Armada Dish', which is usually awarded for five completions of the event.
Oozing pride, the royal posed with her flat-shaped trophy.
It comes as, just weeks ago, Zara and Mike Tindall appeared just as in love as ever as they were snapped gazing adoringly at one another while attending the final day of the Cheltenham Festival.
Zara and her former rugby player husband, 46, appeared reluctant to take their eyes off of each other as they posed up a storm at the racecourse.
Proving their fashion prowess, the loved-up pair even coordinated their ensembles, with Zara look glamorous in a turquoise V-neck coat and a matching statement headpiece.
Taking style tips from his stylish wife, Mike wore a similar coloured tie with his smart grey suit and striped shirt.
Looking effortlessly elegant, Zara teamed her vibrant coat with a navy turtleneck, as well as £435 high heeled Regina boots and the £345 Loxley Navy Croc Handbag, both from Fairfax & Favor.
Adding a touch of glitz to her outfit, Princess Anne's daughter opted for a set of delicate pearl earrings, while keeping the sun from her eyes with a pair of sunglasses.
The royal equestrian and former Olympian kept her makeup to a minimum, allowing her flawless complexion to shine through a sheer layer of foundation while opting for a swipe of pink lipstick.
Mike and Zara, in her role as Cheltenham Racecourse Director, have attended everyday of the festival, joining Queen Camilla, the Princess Royal and Princess Eugenie on the various days.
At today's event, Princess Anne also stepped out at the racecourse, alongside Andrew Parker Bowles, whom she briefly dated in the 1970s, at the races. Mr Parker Bowles is the ex-husband of Queen Camilla.

Real range anxiety: Driving London to Land's End in 1921
Indeed, many competitors floundered, but there were several impressive performances too, like that by VG Lloyd, who 'astounded everyone with his speed' in his two-cylinder Carden. Notably, Lionel Martin 'romped up the hill' in his new production Aston Martin (he had co-founded the company in 1913 to build hillclimb specials; Aston was a course in Buckinghamshire). Several had to shed passengers to reach the top, while others fouled the hill by hitting the wall at the hairpin. Some even managed to clear it while avoiding a comrade's stricken car. One did it on a flat tyre. From there on to Land's End, there was little to really concern the drivers. Forty-two made it to the finish – and we were surprised to see among them HJG Smith's 10hp Eric-Campbell (a small firm that briefly made cars at the Handley Page aircraft factory in London), as he had broken a tie rod on Porlock so effectively was steering with one wheel. He won a gold medal along with 22 other worthy competitors. We concluded: 'The general consensus of opinion was that a better trial had never been, or one to which more merit was attached to a reward, while, as to sport, no man could wish for better.' Since then, more notoriously difficult sections have been added, most famously Beggars Roost (in 1922) and Blue Hills (in 1936), and the Land's End Trial continues to challenge the best trials drivers and cars. Long may it continue.

Deco on Barca's future, challenging Real and Yamal
Barcelona sporting director Deco denies the club have financial problems and says they do not need to sell players - despite La Liga's restrictive financial 47, has overseen a revival of Barcelona since his appointment in 2023, culminating in a domestic treble while also reaching the semi-finals of the Champions Catalans have renewed the contracts of superstar teenager Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and manager Hansi Flick, while they were cleared by Spain's National Sports Council (CSD) to register midfielder Dani Olmo amid a dispute with La Liga. When asked whether the world should see Barcelona as a well-run club in 2025, Deco told BBC Sport: "Barcelona is my club, I love Barcelona. I saw what happened from the outside and always thought I could help put Barca at the same high level. "I knew it would be difficult when I joined with the financial rules - it is not a financial problem, but the financial fair play rules in Spain are more difficult than the Premier League and in other countries. "It is a problem for a lot of clubs, you just hear about Barca because we are a big club. You need to work with it, see how you can improve the team and the combination of La Masia [academy] players and experienced players has been important."The former Portugal midfielder, who played for the Catalans - as well as Chelsea and Porto - stresses Barcelona are happy working with La Liga but have faith the rules will continue to improve. Even if they do not, Barcelona are excited to have "one of the biggest contracts in history" with Nike, and the newly renovated 100,000-seater Nou Camp will be the biggest stadium in Europe and improve insists Barcelona will "not sell our best players", adding the team's recent success means they can "grow with many of the same players". But he says they are in looking for "two, three or four signings", without needing to enter the market "like crazy" thanks to the stability at the core of the asked if it includes the option of signing Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, thought to be available for £40m, or Liverpool's Luis Diaz, he added: "We have been focusing on renewing contracts, after that, we'll discuss players to come. "Of course, these two players, like you mentioned, they are good but have contracts in their clubs, so we won't speak because it's not fair. But when you decide to go to the market, for sure, we find some names. In my opinion, we don't need to bring many players."He added: "When I speak with the agents of the players, everyone wants to come or stay. So this is important. The image of the club is still good. We are proud because Barcelona is still such a big club, and the way we are playing football makes players want to come."Deco is aware of the constant threat of Real Madrid, who will look to improve under new head coach Xabi have also agreed deals for right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will leave Liverpool, and Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen. Benfica left-back Alvaro Carreras is understood to be next on the club's shortlist."Next season is not going to be easy, because I know that first Real Madrid has a lot of top players," he said. "In my opinion they have a big team. They have a lot of fantastic players. Of course they want to improve."It's very important to have a strong Madrid. It's very important to have strong players, top players, players that the people want to see. I think Madrid has these kinds of players, like us."Now it's important to keep the top players in La Liga. So for us it's important that Madrid are strong, that Atletico is strong, and we need to be there." 'Yamal can make history like Messi' Barcelona have already signed perhaps their most important deal of the summer, keeping 17-year-old Spanish sensation Yamal at the club on a new six-year deal until made his debut at 15 and has already made 106 appearances for the club. He was part of Spain's European Championship-winning team, is the reigning Golden Boy and Kopa winner - awards given to the best young player in the world - and was heavily involved in Barcelona's four El Clasico wins against Madrid this season. All this success has led him to be compared to Barcelona legend Lionel Messi, widely regarded as among the world's greatest ever players. Deco continued: "Lamine is Lamine. Leo is Leo. Leo was the best player in the history of this club, for me, the best player in history. "Everyone becomes crazy when they see Lamine playing football, you would pay to go watch him in the stadium, he's special and he wanted to stay because he believes in the project. He deserves an improved salary. "He's going to be one of the best players in the world. We need to respect him as a player, but not forget he is 17 years old."Deco added: "It's not easy to compare, but Lamine, in terms of quality, can make history like Leo. But of course, to make history, he needs to have a good team behind him."Barcelona managed Messi mania and would know how to give Yamal the degree of protection he needs to shine."We try to not let him do everything, because, you know, sometimes the sponsors, and everyone wants his shirt or time," Deco continued. "Sometimes we can't control everything, but people see his magic, on and off the pitch. "They want to have a piece of him and we need to help him manage that."
