Zara Tindall shows off trim physique as she she cosies up to husband Mike in 'unforgettable' trip to Australia
Zara Tindall showed off her trim physique as she cosied up to her husband Mike on a trip to the Great Barrier Reef this week. The daughter of Princess Anne, 44, and Mike Tindall, 46, have spent a few days on Hamilton Island in Queensland, Australia, where they headed out to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park for the first time. In a photograph from the 'unforgettable' trip, Zara showed off her svelte figure in a basic white tank top and linen cream shorts. She completed her outfit with a casual cap to shade her face from the sun, and accessorised with a thin, dark brown belt. Meanwhile, former rugby union player Mike opted for a pair of bold, light pink shorts with a postcard pattern, paired with a simple white Byron Bay T-shirt. He too wore a baseball cap - but in a bright orange and black design. Sharing a selection of images from their trip to Hamilton Island, Mike said: 'We had the chance to spend a few days on Hamilton Island this week - despite all the times we have been to Australia we have never been here before and it's been amazing. 'It's our first time being out on the water in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park too and it really was unreal, Queensland definitely has it all. 'Made some incredible memories. 'What an unforgettable way to spend some down time.' It comes after Zara and Mike attended the 2025 State of Origin decider in Australia, where the mother-of-three previously dubbed her 'home away from home'. Former rugby union player Mike shared a glimpse of the fun at Sydney 's Accor Stadium on Instagram last Saturday, marvelling over the rugby game's 'incredible atmosphere' that saw Queensland 's victory over New South Wales. Princess Anne 's daughter looked radiant in the sweet selfie shared by her husband, and she ditched her usual formal clothes for casual attire, including a rugby merchandise scarf. While Zara's family members have been enjoying a spot of tennis in London 's balmy temperatures at Wimbledon, she wrapped up warm in a jumper and scarf to protect herself against Sydney's winter chill. After being spotted cheering on from the sidelines by Australian TV channel Nine, Mike, dressed in jeans and a black jacket, and Zara posed on the pitch after the game on Wednesday. Mike and Zara, who are parents to their three children, Mia, Lena, and Lucas, attended the event as guests of Maroons coach Billy Slater's wife, Nicole Slater. The pair are understood to be good friends with Maroons boss Slater, after they crossed paths at a polo event in Queensland back in January 2024. Slater teamed up with Mike and Australian polo star, Ruki Ballieau, for the celebrity polo match at the Magic Millions Showjumping and Polo Day last year.

Zara Tindall soaks up the sun with her husband Mike at Hamilton Island in Queensland: 'What an unforgettable way to spend some down time'
Zara Tindall and her husband Mike are soaking up the Queensland sunshine, enjoying a rare break from their busy schedules during a stunning getaway at Hamilton Island. The former England rugby star, 46, shared a series of scenic photos to social media on Friday, showing himself and Zara, 44, aboard a luxury yacht as they cruised through the crystal-clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. 'We had the chance to spend a few days on Hamilton Island this week – despite all the times we have been to Australia, we have never been here before and it's been amazing,' Mike wrote in the heartfelt caption. 'It's our first time being out on the water in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park too and it really was unreal. Queensland definitely has it all. Made some incredible memories. What an unforgettable way to spend some downtime.' He added hashtags including #familytime and #memories, tagging both @queensland and @hamiltonisland. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The couple, dressed casually in white tees and shorts, beamed in one photo taken on the deck of their vessel, with the ocean stretching out behind them. In another snap, beachgoers are seen enjoying the balmy Queensland weather under clear blue skies as the pair relaxed off-camera. It marks another cherished chapter in the Tindalls' long-running love affair with Australia. The royal duo – who have been married since 2011 – are regular visitors to the country, travelling Down Under nearly every year for the Magic Millions equestrian carnival on the Gold Coast. Zara, daughter of Princess Anne and niece to King Charles, is an accomplished equestrian and Olympic silver medallist. She's also a long-time ambassador for Magic Millions, a high-profile role she's held since 2012. Speaking previously, Zara said the country feels like her 'home away from home'. 'We have always loved Australia, and it is like a home from home for us... although the Magic Millions carnival is busy... we couldn't ask for a better way to start the year,' she said. Zara previously confirmed she and her family holidayed in Australia previously, and that they adore the lifestyle. Speaking to Hello! magazine, Zara once admitted she'd consider moving Down Under if the timing were right: 'Probably not while I'm still competing… but after that… yes, I think if an opportunity came up we'd definitely think about it.' Mike added: 'Early January is bleak over here [in the UK] so it's nice to go and have a bit of sun. I love the lifestyle of Australia and the ability to get up early, go on the beach – especially for the kids. 'It's not a rushed lifestyle. I think it's a great place and we enjoy it so much.' The pair famously met in Sydney in 2003 at the Wharf Bar in Manly while Zara was on a gap year and Mike was recovering from being cut from the World Cup squad. They were introduced by Prince Harry and soon hit it off. The pair married in 2011 and the couple have visited Australia almost every year since, only taking a break between 2020 and 2021 during the Covid-19 lockdowns. They share three children, Mia Grace, 10, Lucas, three, and Lena Elizabeth, six.

Zara Tindall dons rugby merch as she joins husband Mike to watch game in 'home away from home' Australia
Zara and Mike Tindall appeared in high spirits as they attended the 2025 State of Origin decider in Australia, where Zara previously dubbed her 'home away from home'. Former rugby union player Mike, 46, shared a glimpse of the fun at Sydney 's Accor Stadium on Instagram today, marvelling over the rugby game's 'incredible atmosphere' that saw Queensland 's victory over New South Wales. Princess Anne 's daughter, 44, looked radiant in the sweet selfie shared by her husband, and she ditched her usual formal clothes for casual attire, including a rugby merchandise scarf. While Zara's family members have been enjoying a spot of tennis in London 's balmy temperatures at Wimbledon, she wrapped up warm in a jumper and scarf to protect herself against Sydney's winter chill. After being spotted cheering on from the sidelines by Australian TV channel Nine, Mike, dressed in jeans and a black jacket, and Zara posed on the pitch after the game on Wednesday. Mike and Zara, who are parents to their three children, Mia, Lena, and Lucas, attended the event as guests of Maroons coach Billy Slater's wife, Nicole Slater. The pair are understood to be good friends with Maroons boss Slater, after they crossed paths at a polo event in Queensland back in January 2024. Slater teamed up with Mike and Australian polo star, Ruki Ballieau, for the celebrity polo match at the Magic Millions Showjumping and Polo Day last year. The State of Origin is an annual rugby league series between the New South Wales Blues and Queensland Maroons, with the latter winning the series 2-1 on Wednesday. Father-of-three Mike wrote in the caption, 'So so so good to be at the 'Decider' of #stateoforigin2025. 'Incredible atmosphere and fair play to the Maroons after an emotional week, being able to put that emotion on the field in a great team performance. Thanks to @b1slater and @nicoleroseart for looking after us so well. 'Was amazing to be in the changing rooms and see everything that makes rugby (both codes) an incredible sport.' Zara and Mike are no strangers in Australia, and typically travel there each year to attend the Magic Millions. The duo, who have been married for 13 years, are brand ambassadors for the racehorse auction house Magic Millions, a deal that reportedly earns them £125,000 every year. Talking to Hello, Zara, previously explained: 'We have always loved Australia, and it is like a home from home for us... although the Magic Millions carnival is couldn't ask for a better way to start the year'. It comes after Zara joined her topless husband Mike as they were filmed singing while sporting hard hats and swigging beers. The granddaughter of the late Queen and her rugby player husband attended an exclusive UK festival - believed to be a private party thrown by the Tindalls - over the weekend. After dressing formally for Royal Ascot the week prior, the royals were seen letting their hair down, instead donning hard hats, glittery facepaint and overalls. Mike added a hard hat and was clutching a Peroni, while an excited Zara kept it casual in denim dungarees and a white vest top. The duo, who have been married since 2011, were lip-syncing to TikToker Chilli Chilton's song 9,000 miles, written when she moved to Australia and was 'replaced in six days' by a boy back home. And they were in good company, as Chilli had also enlisted 50 Shades Of Grey star Jamie Dornan to sing along too for her video, which has now racked up nearly 600,000 views. Pointing to the camera while holding his beer, Mike mouthed: 'Problem one, 9,000 f***ing miles', while Zara added: 'Two! It's clearly more one-sided.' Mike and Zara were clearly getting into the party spirit with the builder theme, wearing lanyards reading: 'Authorised site access, permit for work.' Writing in the caption, Chilli joked: 'Just my mates helping me out with promo!' Royal fans were left delighted by seeing such a down-to-earth side to Mike and Zara. They wrote: 'Still can't believe he's a member of the royal family. Absolute love what he does. Keep up the funny work Mike'; 'I wish they would take up some public duties even just the odd thing here and there, they are so relatable'; 'Zara is my fave royal of all time…!'; 'The fact she's The Queens granddaughter Makes this X1000 better'; 'The Tindalls being amazing as always'; 'Zara Tindall appearing on my for you page was not on my bingo card but here we are.' And when one commenter said: 'I love the Tindalls they couldn't care less and just bring the vibes,' Chilli, who posted the song, replied: 'They are honestly the best.' Since their 2011 wedding, Zara and Mike have welcomed three children: Mia in 2014, Lena in 2018 and Lucas in 2021. They have long been known as some of the 'most relaxed' royals, and aren't afraid to show their love for public displays of affection. They're also known for their friendly relationships with everyone in the Royal Family, marking themselves as key players binding members of The Firm together. At Royal Ascot last month, Zara once again showed herself as one of the most affectionate royals, as she greeted her relatives with hugs and kisses. She was even seen affectionately pecking the cheek of her uncle King Charles, 76, as well as her mother, The Princess Royal and close friend, Lady Gabriella Windsor. There were hugs for her cousin Prince William - and they were seen with their arms around one another and chatting merrily. Zara was back in the equestrian world last month, as she attended the Royal Windsor Cup Final. The royal has taken on the role that her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, had previously held at the event. Wearing an on-trend belted navy blue striped white dress, the mother-of-three looked cool in the warm weather. Weather her blonde bob-cut hair under a summer straw boater, the royal cut an elegant figure at the event. She finished the look with a pair of beige heeled sandals, a tan leather clutch bag and some delicate gold drop earrings. The prestigious polo show, held annually, attracts guests from society's highest echelons. The event is one of the top five polo tournaments in the world - wooing the biggest names in the game and their impressive pony power, as well as plenty of famous faces. Zara remains a serious international equestrian competitor, having garnered a gold medal at the European Eventing Championships in 2005 in addition to attaining a silver medal at the World Equestrian Games in 2006.

The summer haircuts that feel cool
There are key times in life when going for a haircut just feels right – after a break-up, major life event or when the seasons change. In fact, the urge for a haircut mounts as the hotter summer months roll in because not only are shorter styles more heat appropriate, but they also align with a natural switch in our wardrobes. 'The change of season triggers something in all of us,' agrees John Paul Scott, founder and creative director of SALT salon in Hackney, London. 'Most of us feel like revealing a new iteration of ourselves when summer arrives, and a hair change is one of the quickest ways to do that.' Case in point: Julianne Moore, who debuted a collarbone-grazing bob while on the press tour for her hit Netflix show, Sirens, in May. Swapping her auburn lengths for a sleeker lob felt fresh and cool without being dramatically different to what came before. Zara Tindall also showcased a newly cut, choppy blonde bob at the Royal Windsor Cup Final last month; beachy and undone, she crowned the look with a season-appropriate straw boating hat and sunglasses. And Sharon Stone, who is known for her long, wavy pixie cut, has grown it out in favour of a mussed-up bob, a style she has also since paired with a hat. Simplicity is the common denominator in all of these chic summer styles. 'I always think hair should be easy, effortless and as least faff as possible in the summer,' says hairstylist George Northwood, whose clients include Lily Collins (who also recently went shorter) and Alicia Vikander. 'When it's hot, who wants to spend time under a hair dryer or battling with a hot pair of tongs? It looks modern to have loose, effortless-looking hair.' He references a simple jaw-length bob (what he calls the 'Perriand' in salon, inspired by the French architect Charlotte Perriand) for its timeless, soft and unfussy finish. Tempted? Here are the simple things you can do to update your hair for summer. Long hair and layers If you've got long hair, and would like to keep it that way, then adding a few layers around the front may be worth considering. See Jodie Comer, whose feathered look at the London premiere of 28 Years Later took its cues from Jennifer Aniston's famous Nineties Friends hairstyle. Modern and polished, it's an easy way to add detail to an otherwise simple silhouette: 'A glossy blow dry with lived-in razored ends works really well,' says Scott. 'It's easy, breezy and carefree, but lends an edge to the look.' For optimal polish, make sure hair is hydrated and healthy with the help of a weekly conditioning mask. 98 Beauty's Hydra Bond Hydrating Masque, £35, is packed with nourishing oils and glycerin to restore hair elasticity and swish after a little as ten minutes. Choppy bob 'This summer's bob is all one length and has no shape at the front,' says Northwood. 'It's a bit choppy but still chunky, and should look free and easy – nothing too studied.' If you already have a bob in situ, it may be time to experiment with a shorter look – it's a great way to provide ventilation to the neck area on sweltering days, plus it looks good too. Alternatively, ask your hairdresser to chop into your ends – especially if your hair is really thick – to create a lighter texture, then aim for undone styling. Hershesons Air Dry Spray, £18, Hershesons; ghd Wave Triple Barrer tool, £159, Boots A tousled finish is incredibly easy to achieve with the help of Hershesons Air Dry Spray, £18, which now contains UV protection to fend off damage. Simply mist it into the hair, then twist, scrunch and leave to dry. For more overt waves, look no further than the ghd Wave Triple Barrer tool, £159, which delivers a mermaid look in no time. Grown-out fringe While some experts understandably warn against getting a fringe in the summer months – they can be high maintenance as temperatures rise and foreheads become oilier – Northwood says they're not something to shy away from. 'They're a great way to inject interest into long hair,' he explains, adding that he recently cut a set of curtain bangs for Vikander. Typebea's 3-in-1 Dry Shampoo, £26, Boots Great for opening up the face and accentuating the cheekbones, his advice is to opt for a style that 'blends seamlessly with the rest of your hair so that it looks more like a grown out fringe, rather than anything too graphic' that will inevitably require more maintenance. Typebea's 3-in-1 Dry Shampoo, £26, is a multitasking essential for summer fringes – as well as injecting volume into roots and absorbing excess oil, it's great for scalp health too. A modern shag The modern shag – a style that works especially well on those with curls – is also having a moment, with Google searches for 'layered shag haircut' up by 250 per cent in the last month alone. Selena Gomez recently had her own cut in by hairstylist Orlando Pita, who snipped in plenty of layers and mussed-up bangs for the singer. Hair by Sam McKnight's Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist, £28, Hair by Sam McKnight The more texture involved in this cut, the better – which is why it works especially well on holiday, when salty hair is par for the course – but you can fake it with the help of Hair by Sam McKnight's Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist, £28. The hat trick Since hats are an excellent idea to fend off the sun's UV rays, how to wear one and not succumb to dreaded hat hair? The key is to keep the hair looking lived-in to begin with so that any extra kinks aren't unsightly, but part of the look – as Phillips proves. Hats aren't the only summer accessory to get on board with, either. Katya x Mousse crystal rose clip, £34, Katya; Joan clip, £28, Scott is also a fan of claw clips to twist longer hair up on hot evenings – try Katya and Tort for great options.
