Zara Tindall did not shy away from taking responsibility for a special task as the royal family gathered on Tuesday to mark the beginning the Royal Ascot on Tuesday.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were joined by Princess Beatrice and her husband, along with Princess Anne and her two children Zara and Peter Phillips.

The monarch’s beloved niece, who is not a working royal member of the family, stepped into a special role to welcome a newcomer to the annual horse racing event with a warm gesture.

Following his breakup with girlfriend Lindsay Wallace, Peter began dating an NHS paediatric nurse specialist Harriet Sperling. The couple made their debut in May last year.

As Harriet attended her first ever Royal Ascot, Zara enthusiastically greeted her brother and his girlfriend. During one tender moment, she even stepped up to help fix Harriet’s hat by placing a gentle hand on its brim.

Harriet also received a mean meaningful gesture by the royals as she was seated in the third royal carriage in the procession, which was a privilege previously extended to Peter’s former partners. to the event.
