Zara, Mike Tindall make delightful statement after King honours Princess Anne

Mike and Zara Tindall issued a delightful life update after King Charles made a hug gesture to begin Princess Anne's 75th birthday celebrations.

On July 18, the former rugby player released a series of photos from the Tindalls' relaxing holidays in Australia.

One of the shared pictures on Instagram notably featured a beaming power couple, clearly enjoying their summer getaway.

In a statement, Mike expressed on behalf of himself and Zara, "We had the opportunity to spend a few days on Hamilton Island this week. Despite visiting Australia several times, we had never been here before, and it has been an amazing experience."

He added, "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."

The father-of-three shared that his family made "some incredible memories." He further penned, "What an unforgettable way to spend some downtime."

Zara and Mike Tindall surprised fans with a joint appearance on social media, following King Charles' decision to honour the Princess Royal as she approaches her 75th birthday on August 15.

The royal family invites fans to "join" in celebration of "The Princess Royal as she marks her milestone 75th birthday with the first UK coin made in her honour..."

The monarch paid a heartfelt tribute to the "duty and devotion" of Anne as her official Coat of Arms and an official portrait captured by John Swannell are featured on the commemorative coin.
