Zara Tindall stepped out in warm spirits over the bank holiday weekend after skipping a gathering with the Royal Family.
The mother-of-three looked determined and focused as she competed in the Wellington International Horse Trials on Monday.
In July, GB News reported that Zara and Mike Tindall had declined an invitation to spend their summer holiday at Balmoral Castle with King Charles.
This was because Zara had applied to compete at the Wellington International Horse Trials, which was taking place at the same time.

The source continued to tell The Express that Mike and Zara's children, Mia, Lena and Lucas, get on "amazingly well" with Kate and William's children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
