Zara TindallandMike Tindallhad a sweet exchange during a royal carriage ride!
Mike sweetly leaned across the landau, where they rode with horse trainer William Haggas and his wife Maureen, to help her fix what was wrong, which seemed to do the trick.
“You know, sometimes when you’ve got three children, it’s not always the easiest to get out and just have a drink together,” he toldGood Morning Britainof his night out with his wife, where they dined at London nightclub Oswald’s with Princess Anne,Prince Edwardand his wifeSophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. According toDaily Mail, the Tindalls stayed out until 2 a.m. local time.
“It was quite nice to have a little bit of time where we could just go out and have a drink and have a chat. I definitely don’t regret that,” he added.

For Wednesday’s outing, Mike sported a top hat — per thedress codefor the Royal Enclosure at the horse race. The guidelines state, “Any top hat that is customised, for example with coloured ribbons, feathers or bands, or is any colour other than black or grey is not permitted within the Royal Enclosure” and that men can only remove their hats “within a restaurant, a private box, a private club or that facility’s terrace, balcony or garden. Hats may also be removed within any enclosed external seating area within the Royal Enclosure Garden.”
Zara paired a navy outfit with a green headpiece. The dress code states that fascinators are not permitted for women in the area: “Ladies must wear a hat or headpiece with a solid base of 4 inches in diameter in the Royal Enclosure.”
On Wednesday, Zara was spotted chatting with Andrew Lloyd Webber, who also rode in the carriage procession.

Mike and Zara are frequent fixtures at the Royal Ascot and were attending for the second day in a row. They joined other members of the royal family at the race on Tuesday, although they weren’t part of the Royal Procession for the first day of the event.
The parents of three were seen chatting with Queen Camilla in the Royal Enclosure — perhaps about a particular race later that day! King Charles and Queen Camilla’s horse Saga ran in the Wolferton Stakes on Tuesday and finished fifth,The Timesreported.
The royal couple was completely captivated, with Camilla, 75, biting her nail and Charles, 74, raising a hand to his mouth. The strain perhaps came from the action on the track, as Saga’s jockey received a nine-day ban for careless riding after the event, according toThe Telegraph.
The Royal Ascot is a can’t-miss event for many members of the royal family, andQueen Elizabethattended almost every year of her royal reign. Much more than a fan of the sport, she owned many racehorses and stabled them at Sandringham — producing an impressive 24 winners at Ascot.
