Meanwhile, at the rugby... Zara and Mike Tindall lark about as they cheer on British and Irish Lions in Melbourne
Zara and Mike Tindall donned their beanie hats and red jerseys as they cheered on the British and Irish Lions in Melbourne this weekend. Zara, 44, looked relaxed and radiant as she joined husband Mike, 46, in the stands of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, to cheer on the team as the couple marked their 14th wedding anniversary with a trip down under. In a selfie shared to Mike's Instagram, the royal couple beamed donned full British and Irish Lions outfits including matching tops and beanies. The former English former rugby union player praised the 'incredible' performance which saw the British and Irish Lions triumph over the Wallabies in a 29-26 victory. He wrote: 'What a day Saturday was!! Lions an incredible come back, but massive shift by the Wallabies, frustrated no doubt but they get one more chance next Saturday!!' In their usual light-hearted manner, the couple also larked about while at the sporting event - with Mike donning a comical wig in the stands. The Lions win caps off the couple's extensive trip to Australia, where they've been touring the country this month. Last week Zara and Mike were 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 shared a series of scenic photos to social media, showing himself and Zara 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. 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.

My £45 two-tone watch looks just like Zara Tindall's £11.7k Rolex
I found the best lookalike for Zara Tindall's go-to £11.7k Rolex watch that you can pick up for just £45, and the two-tone gold and silver timepiece nails quiet luxury on a budget Over the years Zara Tindall has worn quite an impressive range of luxury watches, many of which happen to be from one of the most coveted timepiece brands in the world; Rolex. The equestrian and Royal became a Rolex Testimonee prior to winning individual gold at the World Equestrian Games in 2006 in Aachen, and has since been spotted in several Rolex watches, including the two-tone Lady-Datejust which comes with a huge £11,700 price tag. Whilst I'm a big fan of Zara's collection, I definitely won't be affording a Rolex of my own anytime soon, which is why I was quick to snap up Sekonda's Classic Ladies 26mm Francis Watch in Two Tone when I saw it. Priced at just £44.99, the watch embodies the classic, timeless (pardon the pun) luxury look of Zara's designer wrist watch, without the hefty price tag. The Sekonda watch has a slightly more slimline design compared to Zara's Rolex, with a narrower strap and smaller dial. However it sticks to a similar design with a two-tone gold and silver metal bracelet, pale gold face and gold surround. Obviously the Sekonda Francis Watch isn't made from the same materials, swapping the 18ct gold and diamonds for a stainless steel alloy and crystals, hence the much more affordable price tag. However the Sekonda watch still reflects the elegance and sophistication of the designer version, with crystals in place of numbers around the face and gold-coloured accents including the dial surround and winder. The watch is also super lightweight and comfortable to wear, and you can barely feel it on your wrist. The clasp can be a little fiddly to unlatch at first, but after a few wears it loosens up and becomes easy to do one handed, and closes super securely so you don't need to worry about it popping open while you wear it. It's currently available for £44.99 on Amazon, or you can get a different colourway at Freemans, which swaps the gold face for a silver one whilst maintaining the two-tone bracelet strap, although it doesn't have the crystals around the edge. Alternatively you can pick up an all-silver version direct from the Sekonda website for £39.99, which looks just like mine but without any gold details. Alternatively, you can pick up the Mini Two Tone Pearl Link Belgravia 23 Watch at Abbott Lyon for £149. This watch features a two-tone gold and silver metal strap, in-laid crystals around the face, and has a pearl-effect dial, giving it a premium, high end look. However I couldn't be happier with my Classic Ladies 26mm Francis Watch in Two Tone from Sekonda. They also stock plenty of other great designer alternatives, letting you get that quiet luxury look on a budget.

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 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.
